Spin magazine has built a veritable rock-star Frankenstein, composed of Michael Stipe’s skull, Elvis Presley’s pelvis and Madonna’s bellybutton.
Madonna’s navel tops the list of the 25 “most incredible” rock-star body parts in Spin‘s September issue, now on newsstands.
“It’s what first marked her as a mainstream provocateur,” senior Spin writer Marc Spitz writes.
Holding second place is the liver of the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, which is so durable, Spitz writes, that “when Richards finally passes, they’ll line the exterior of the space shuttle with his liver tissue”.
REM singer Michael Stipe’s oft-shaved skull comes in third, due to a hairline that’s “not too high like Moby’s or too low” like Sinead O’Connor’s.
Other body parts include Presley’s hip-shaking pelvis, Gene Simmons’s tongue, Tina Turner’s legs, 50 Cent’s chest, Bruce Springsteen’s behind and Tommy Lee’s — well, you know, it’s that body part below the waist. — Sapa-AP
