Music Motivation Monday —- LUST FOR LIFE (It\u2019s not just for cruise-line commercials)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nothing needs a solid dose of Iggy Pop more than a Monday, right?<\/p>\n

I know, I know, I know. “Lust for Life” is a song about drug addiction. I know. But so many good songs are about vices. Iggy is one of the ultimate rock stars, and in 1977 England, I would have expected nothing less than a solid list of vices.<\/p>\n

When the song became the theme for cruise-line commercials, it made a laugh. Scenes of young children, running around on the deck of the ship, splashing on a waterslide. Couples look lovingly at each other, sipping fruity drinks while looking out at the ocean.\u00a0 Food! Scenery!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, all fans of 70s punk were signing along, filling in for the dropped vocal about strip teases and hypnotizing chickens.<\/p>\n

I recently caught an interview with Mr. Pop, and he stated how he is now living a healthy lifestyle \u2013 rarely drinking, and he may have even become a vegetarian.<\/p>\n

So yeah, I think Iggy has a new lust for sucking the life out of life\u2026and I want to on this Monday as well.<\/p>\n

Fun fact \u2013 David Bowie co-wrote this song with Iggy <\/em>Pop, and composed it on a ukulele.<\/em><\/p>\n

Second fun fact \u2013 the rhythm pattern is based on an Armed Forces Radio signal.<\/em><\/p>\n

So \u2013 take on the week! Take on the elliptical!\u00a0 Or better yet, take on taking the dog for a run.\u00a0 Let that drum beat be the soundtrack of your day. Have a lust for life!<\/p>\n
