I thought three out of four of those activities were just typical man things, not unique to Iggy!
Sounds like he was a real swinger who liked to play with balls.

Check out:
In A Gadda Da Vida - Iron Butterfly . . . for parts one and two of the 17-minute version, and see if his organ music offends your ear.

Okay, I have reduced "despise" to "dislike." I just don't care for the *sound* of organ music, skaltezon. Organ music makes me feel I am supposed to pray, and when I hear it I usually do. I pray that it will END!
The organ solo in Iron Butterfly's "In A Gadda Da Vida" beginning from 9:15 and lasting for several minutes sounds very churchy in a nice churchy way, I suppose. I even recognized a Christmas tune around 11:30 ("Oh Tidings of Comfort and Joy" from "Oh come all ye faithful").
In theory I like the idea of an other-worldy gothic quality, but maybe only in theory. I don't even really like Bach's Toccata because of the *organ* sound quality, although parts are beautiful:

Anyway, I much prefer Slayer's cover of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," which I'm listening to now for comparison with its psychedelic epic predecessor. I like Slayer's version because it is shorter, more focused, more intense...and has no organ!
