Answer 1

Not to mention he rolls around on the floor in glass and cuts himself to the point people say "dude, your bleeding".  Why hasn't the Igg-man been committed?  Van Gogh cut off his ear, Hemingway killed himself, Woody Allen married his step-daughter-Iggy is an "artist"

Answer 2

he is awesome. nothing more to say. and yes. you either love him or  hate him. i happen to absolutely love him.
