Iggy Pop
A lot of cool stuff happened to me when I was in college, but, I have to admit, nothing was as cool as what's happened to an animal rights group at Michigan State University. The MSU group is working hard to push for a permanent circus ban on their campus, and they've just received some serious help—from none other than punk godfather (and Michigan native) Iggy Pop!

The university has made the compassionate decision to ban circuses on campus this year after learning that elephants, tigers, and other animals are beaten and forced to perform under the big top. After Iggy Pop heard the news, he wrote a letter to the school in support of the students' proposal to make the ban permanent.

I wanted to thank Iggy Pop for his contribution to ending the circus at MSU this (and hopefully future) years. I didn't know how to contact him directly, but hopefully he will see this. Thank you so much ... on behalf of the animals ... Iggy! You really DO rock!

The very few times I have attended the circus the animals looked so miserable I never wanted to go back.
