Iggy Pop was interviewed for this weekend's New York Times and talked health, music, and sex. In the interview, titled The Taming Of The Stooge, Iggy revealed that despite his heroin use over the years, he's lucky to be in pretty good shape:
"I’m a more than moderately healthy 65-year-old male who has gotten away with a lot of stuff."
He also commented that he wished he would have had more sex over the years, and went on to make the following characterization about his penis:
"I would characterize it sort of like a powerful interest group within a political party at this point. It used to be the entire political party."
