PROFILE: The world's real forgotten boy, our hero stormed out of the Detroit rock sene like a raw powered atomic bomb in the late '60s with his band, the Stooges. David Bowie loved him, and without the Stooges, the Ig was able to rise above the death trips, gaining new values along the way, and proving through "comeback" after "comeback" that he's one guy who'll always have shake appeal.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
