Poll: Choose our aged rock star!

It's easy! And basically free!

Haven’t you been the most inspired by the surf world’s complete and robust embrace of aged rock star Iggy Pop? The ex-Stooges frontman has not done anything culturally meaningful for 30 years but look how he collaborates on a boardshort with Billabong and look how Billabong flies him to the North Shore for a photoshoot and look how he plays a set at the Billabong House and look how every professional surfer, surf photographer, surf brand employee acts as if George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty came down from heaven, gathering Jeff Lynne and Bobby Dylan along the way, and jammed a full Traveling Wilburys set right next to Off the Wall.

The best thing they ever saw! Miraculous even!

Oh of course it is not odd for the surf world to lose its shit, entirely, when any non-endemic personality pays even one whit of attention (see the fawning over Eddie Vedder, Ben Stiller, etc.) which is endearing.

Right?

And in this endearing, anti-depressive vein I think it is time for BeachGrit to choose an aged rock star in order to represent us and bring maniacal levels of joy. The only question is who should we pick? You decide from the following list of finalists.

-Axel Rose (see above)

-Grace Slick

-Steve Tyler

-John Rotten

-David Lee Roth

-Iz
