Iggy Pop is not a fan of the state of modern music, especially electronic or techno music. “The digital age has made collecting money so incredibly efficient. When we started our band we didn’t know what publishing was. Now you can push a button and get rich quick,” Pop said during a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival, as reported by The Guardian. “It might get to the point where it’s going to grip everybody by the shoulders and shake us and then throw us down and get rid of us.” Pop went on to compare analogue technology to “throwing an amp into the spirit of man,” then imitating the sound of a techno beat before saying, “It’s like: woah, you know! Why don’t I just die now.” The new Stooges documentary Gimme Danger, directed by filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, made its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com.
