EW's GRADE
A-

Details Release Date: Apr 10, 2007; Writer: Paul Trynka; Genres: Music, Nonfiction; Publisher: Broadway Books

In Iggy Pop: Open Up and Bleed, Paul Trynka details the punk icon's peaks (the David Bowie years) and valleys (homeless in L.A.).

Bad Behavior
Thinking it was cocaine, Bebe Buell snorted a line Iggy offered her. It was heroin.

Lowdown
Trynka thrillingly depicts Iggy's battle between his ambitious ego and his reckless id.
