No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The Stooges Mk. II.

But there is nothing androgynous or fey about The Stooges. Raw Power is riddled with hyper-phallic masculinity in the form of militaristic imagery (‘Search and Destroy’, with its references to ‘a heart full of napalm’) or slam-bam sexual aggression (‘Penetration’). As a drama of energy, Stooges songs are about ignition, blast-off and explosive impact. Or they’re a steady-state pummel of intransitive aggression, as with the title track ‘Raw Power’, ‘Shake Appeal’ and the closing ‘Death Trip’. The latter, Iggy claims, was written when he realised that the relationship with MainMan was going off the rails, that the band was doomed. But he didn’t care because this music was the mission he had to complete.
