Watch Iggy Pop Fling Peanut Butter on Crowd in Jim Jarmusch’s New Stooges Documentary

Iggy Pop and the Stooges made a name for themselves in the annals of rock with their energetic (and controversial) antics, both on and off the stage. One such incident took place at the Cincinnati Pop Festival in 1970, when Iggy entered the audience with a jar of peanut butter, smearing it all over his chest before flinging it on concertgoers with abandon. Watch it go down below in a new clip from Gimme Danger, Jim Jarmusch’s new documentary about the impact of Iggy and the Stooges (via Rolling Stone). 

When the film premiered at Cannes earlier this year, Iggy said, “I was on acid in more than several of the clips in the movie when I was young. I would go from feeling very aggressive to breaking out in laughter.” In April, it was announced that Iggy Pop was penning a history of the Stooges for Third Man Books.
