Iggy Pop, Jeff Tweedy, Frank Black, Dave Grohl, and Flea and Anthony Keidis guest on new Comedy Central show.

They certainly don't travel in the same social circles, but Iggy Pop and Donald Rumsfeld now have one exceedingly odd thing in common.

For the forthcoming Comedy Central series Lil' Bush, which satirizes the Bush Administration as a bunch of prepubescent versions of themselves, Pop voices the mini-Rumsfeld, joining a host of rock stars in the cast.

Lil' Bush, a series of short cartoons created in 2006 by The Simpsons writer Donick Cary for Amp'd Mobile, was picked up by Comedy Central for a six-episode run starting June 11.

The show also features Wilco's Jeff Tweedy as the voice of God, Frank Black voicing Satan, and the Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl and Flea and Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers each playing themselves.

Iggy's character is the only one that's recurring--the rest are cameos. In a press release, Lil' Rummy is described as "a classic schoolyard bully with a few charming psychopathic quirks."

Iggy Pop Iggy Pop

There's a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk -- every single punk band of the past and present has either knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Pop and his late-'60s/early-'70s the Stooges. Born on April 21, 1947, in Muskegon, MI, James Newell Osterberg was raised by his parents (his father was an English...

Wilco Wilco

Wilco rose from the ashes of the seminal roots rockers Uncle Tupelo, who disbanded in 1994. While Jay Farrar, one of the group's two singer/songwriters, went on to form the band Son Volt, his ex-partner Jeff Tweedy established Wilco along with the remaining members of Tupelo's final incarnation, which included drummer Ken Coomer as well as...

Jeff Tweedy Jeff Tweedy

Jeff Tweedy rose to prominence with Uncle Tupelo in the late '80s and early '90s, but with his own group, Wilco, he would step out from the shadow of that legendary alt-country group and his former partner, Jay Farrar.

Belleville, IL, high school friends Tweedy and Farrar started Uncle Tupelo as the Primitives in St. Louis in the...

Frank Black Frank Black

Inverting his stage name from Black Francis to Frank Black, the former Pixies lead singer/songwriter embarked on a solo career after he broke up the band in early 1993; actually, he began recording his solo album before he told the band the news. Working with former Pere Ubu member Eric Drew Feldman, Black occasionally heads into the...

Foo Fighters Foo Fighters

While he was drumming with Nirvana, Dave Grohl was recording original songs at home that never received public release. Those tapes would become the foundation of Foo Fighters, the band he formed in 1995, after the death of Kurt Cobain. Like Nirvana, Foo Fighters melded loud, heavy guitars with pretty melodies and mixed punk sensibilities with a...

Dave Grohl Dave Grohl

Rarely in the history of rock has a musician switched bands and instruments simultaneously with such a high degree of success as Dave Grohl. Born on January 14, 1969, Grohl grew up in Washington, D.C., teaching himself to play drums and guitar while listening to such heavy metal acts as Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Motorhead, and Black Sabbath, plus the...

Red Hot Chili Peppers Red Hot Chili Peppers

Few rock groups of the '80s broke down as many musical barriers and were as original as the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Creating an intoxicating new musical style by combining funk and punk rock together (with an explosive stage show, to boot), the Chili Peppers spawned a slew of imitators in their wake, but still managed to be the leaders of the...

Wilco
It's hard not to wonder if Wilco's breakthrough 2002 release, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, would have been such a critical success and so eagerly embraced by the indie rock community if it hadn't become such a cause célèbre thanks to the band being unceremoniously dropped by Reprise Records, and then signed by Nonesuch after the album had become...

Jeff Tweedy
The soundtrack album for the film Chelsea Walls -- which marks the directorial debut of actor Ethan Hawke -- also happens to feature the first solo recordings from Uncle Tupelo founder and Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy. However, those expecting a healthy dose of either UT's punk-fueled roots rock or Wilco's smart and adventurous pop are in for a...

Frank Black
Playing like the widescreen director's cut version of Honeycomb, Frank Black's sprawling double album Fast Man Raider Man reunites him with the Memphis session legends who played with him last time, and adds even more stars to the cast of characters. Along with veteran Catholics member Lyle Workman and Honeycomb players Reggie Young, Buddy...
Foo Fighters "In Your Honor"
Foo Fighters
Although it was as big a commercial success as Foo Fighters' three previous albums, 2002's One by One seemed flat and tired, as if their leader, Dave Grohl, had reached a songwriting slump or as if the band had exhausted its possibilities. The time was ripe for a reinvention, or at least a risk, and the group responded accordingly with In Your...
Red Hot Chili Peppers "Stadium Arcadium"
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Indulgence has long been a way of life for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, yet they resisted the siren's call of the double album until 2006's Stadium Arcadium. Sure, 1991's breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik was as long as a classic double LP, but such distinctions mattered little in the era when vinyl gave way to CD, and they matter less now, as...
