Iggy Pop croons for Harold Ford, Jr.

The site of proto-punker Iggy Pop performing "Search and Destroy" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog" to a crowd of austere stuffed-shirt types at the Waldorf Astoria Ballroom is ridiculous and ironic in itself. What's even more absurd is the near terrified look on the face of erstwhile Senate candidate Harold Ford, Jr. in this picture from Monday's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. While his wife, Emily, stares quite approvingly at the ageless rocker's pectorals, the former Tennessee Congressman—who once backed a Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage—looks decidedly distressed by the pansexual implications of being serenaded by a sweaty, shirtless, 63-year-old gym rat.

Well, Iggy was right when he said in his speech that he doubted there were many Stooges fans that could've afforded the $1200 rubber-chicken dinner.

It's a shame that people like Harold Ford, Jr. get a seat at a stage-front table. (Though props to the older lady in the mink stole who got up on stage... "Look at your wacky Nana kids!")
