The punk legend, 71, will be honored alongside Roberta Flack, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Isaac Hayes.
, 71, is an unlikely mainstream icon. But the rocker has become much more than an underground poster boy over his lengthy, sometimes fraught career. Pop, born James Osterberg, is an articulate, serious, and seriously busy multifaceted artist, one whose music —both solo and with his infamous band the Stooges — now shines in contemporary movies and ads.
We caught up with the Miami-based provocateur ahead of the 2020 ceremony to discuss his legacy, career, and Grammy win. While his initial, very punk response to hearing of the honor was “50 years, what have they ever done for me?,” ultimately, Pop is happy to be part of a group of peers he reveres. Yeah, I did absolutely try to start doing a number of other things because it just made [sense]. One feeds into the other. So doing radio, I’ve done a show for five years now at the BBC … or longer. Only steady job I’ve ever had! Through that, I started meeting all sorts of great musicians because I play their stuff looking for [music to play] and I end up on their tracks. I’ve done a little film work. I’m not Sir Laurence Olivier, but… The first effect of that was the music supervisors.
No, I picked up all of them! I have so many. I started at the bottom with something called the Brick Award in 1990. I have a huge brick with my name on it and the cover art from my album. From the Brick Men Stackers of America who were concerned that bricks weren’t being used enough in building materials. Concrete was taking over, so they created this award. Heavy D also got the award because a lot of his videos were in brick alleys.
