This is David Bowie. Seriously.
Someone at Harmonix and Traveller's Tales has realised that using just about alive musicians is possibly a better route to take for playable icons in rhythm games than controversial dead ones. Therefore the once iconic figure of David Bowie has now been given a run out in the LEGO version of Rock Band.
USA Today reports that, "The animations of Bowie, his band and the venue for the LEGO version of Let's Dance are loosely based on the original music video."
Bowie has not commented on his LEGO-tar, pictured, but erstwhile side-kick and fellow drug fan 'back in the day', Iggy Pop has. Asked how he got roped into Rock Band, he responded,"They asked. There's not much I won't do if you asked nicely."
We're asking Iggy nicely, "Please stop doing insurance ads".

I don't get the issue with the Insurance ads.
I enjoyed them originally getting pulled because they implied (or stated) that they would Insure Iggy, when in fact the insurer in question would not ensure entertainers.
But that aside, I do not see the problem with an admired and respected elder statesman of rock advertising s**t... be it butter, insurance or most other things. Overexposed talentless TV harridans banging on unrepentantly about debt consolidation at crippling interest rates gets on my tits, however.
Fame is the rock star's stock in trade, why must they not use it to promote and endorse products?
If I was going to ask Iggy nicely, in a forum he definitely doesn't read, to do something he wold never agree to do, it would be to come and play a private gig in a small sweaty club to me and my friends. I wouldn't waste my precious futile wish on something as bland and irrelevant as asking him not to do a certain advertisement.
Guess I'm just a dreamer.
