I-Dogs Guitarist Paul Therrio & Iggy Pop: Surfer's Choice!

After repeated viewings of the Imperial Dogs' Live! In Long Beach (October 30, 1974) DVD -- which he pronounces "a corker" -- Waitakere Walks blogmeister Papa Jon draws parallels between I-Dogs guitarist Paul Therrio ("a life long avid surfer") and Iggy Pop's attributing his 1970s revitalization by immersing himself in Our Mother Ocean, illustrating his point by reproducing the DVD booklet's photo of Iggy checking out the Imperial Dogs when they played Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco for the first time on November 11, 1974.

It's worth noting that the skull 'n' crossbones on Paul's chest was simply the product of I-Dogs frontman Don Waller's handiwork with a marking pen -- and they only did this once.)
