Leave it up to one of the last remaining heroes from the earliest days of punk-rock to help send off 2020 with a song worthy of what’s been a dismal and depressing year for live music.
Iggy Pop has released a new single entitled, “Dirty Little Virus”, which as one can assume correctly, was inspired completely by the COVID-19 pandemic that engulfed the world over the past 12 months. The new song arrived onto Bandcamp on Monday, along with a video of Pop explaining how he was inspired to use a journalistic approach for penning a song about the global pandemic. The brief (2:50 minute) song was co-written by Iggy alongside Leron Thomas, who plays trumpet on the recording.
