About This Quote

A powerful opportunity was presented to Iggy Pop. Here, he has the chance to prove his abilities against three other talented musicians. He can either play his guitar or he can play his drums. If he plays his guitar, he'll be up against Max and Nelson.

If he plays his drums, he'll be up against Iggy and Nelson. Either way, he stands a chance in the competition. If Iggy doesn't want to compete in the competition, he can walk away and nobody will mind in the least.

If he does, however, then it's up to him to decide if the goal is worth all of the risks that come with playing drums in a musical battle against two other influential musicians.
