When he jumped shirtless into the crowd and people dragged him around and pounded on him like the side of beef in "Rocky" while the band played on and he whipped it out an urinated at them and then crawled back up onstage bloodied and yelled, "And your girlfriends still want to blow me, you f-ucks!" And they launched right into their next song. My first Iggy show 1973.

Psychedelic, my ass.
This is all good and well and some good nostalgia, but bad behaviour wasn't the sole domain of punk bands. Also Jim Morrison was doing this stuff before Iggy Pop anyway.
