IGGY POP

James Newell Osterberg, aka Iggy Pop
BORN: April 21, 1947, Ypsilanti, MI

"In the '60s, I took DMT. DMT was a gaseous wax that you could smoke that gave you a 20-minute psychedelic high. You'd inhale it. And then when you'd exhale -- poof, you'd be high.  I saw Buddha, man.  I know that sounds like no big deal.  But I saw a gigantic holographic Buddha -- correct in every way!  Buddhas can be very intricate -- these drawings that you see in books. Thousands of details were included in this Buddha. Where did they come from?  I didn't make them up.  I can't even draw, you know.  I could barely spell cat, you know.  And there it was.  And I thought, Wow -- the power of the mind, you know."
