Loved this, thanks Rick. I understand requests can be irritating, but can you reach out to Tom Waits? I would love to hear from him, and think you'd be the best to interview him. Cheers
I saw iggy pop live at Isle of Wight. None of my mates were interested but I wasn’t missing it for the world. I remember rocking out to the classics and everyone around me was looking at me like I was crazy. Wasn’t even under the influence at the time. Just high on life.
Zombie Birdhouse is one of the greatest albums of all time ... Iggy is an authentic poet, musician, and performing artist ... Solid interview by 2 legendary musical historians ...
I love hearing about the Detroit music history from Ypsilanti‘s greatest son. As a Detroiter all these bands he mentioned and times ,John Sinclair who I met at a MC5 concert at Saint Andrews hall in Detroit..he tapped me on the shoulder and said do you know who John Sinclair is ? and I turned around and looked at him in awe .. I said wow yeah it’s you .. Smiled and shook his hand. Great interview!
Jim Is A Diamond, he changed my life when i was 16 years old at The Grande Ballroom & The Eastown Theater in Detroit, The Stooges Man, Jim did a stage dive and landed on the floor in front of me, and got in my face, i freeked out, and started crawling away, The song was I want to be your Dog, after this show i went home a Different Person, Thank You Jim, may you live another 75 years, Cousin Figel
So refreshing to hear someone who knows how to conduct a great interview, notwithstanding Rick’s other formidable talents. With such a long legacy, two parts is very welcome.
Just listened to this , I grew up in Monroe Michigan just south of Detroit the Mc 5 & the Stoges , Bob Seger would all play in Monroe or I'd go see them at the Grandy Ballroom & used to go to the house in Ann Arbor & hand out flyers for the White Panther s . This brought back a lot of memories. Iggy forget to mention Goose Lake Rock Festival it was one year after Woodstock what a great time that was ☮️ great interview & God Bless 🕊️
The Beatles were the end of the Show Business Era and the Stooges were the beginning of the Rock Era. The context shifted and made everything look different as context shifts do. I'd add that Detroit in the 60s saw the rise of the middle class via automotive wages. Money means guitars.
The part where he said sometimes you could see horses, and they both seem to get astonished still. That's as human as human can get. A power greater than ourselves.
"Down on the ......beach??" Could you imagine?!? Not only would of this changed the entire feel of the masterpiece that is Fun house, that single lyric would have changed the trajectory of musical history from there on out!! Good call Iggy!!
Jim is a great great artist. Whenever my creativity is self questioned. I listen to Iggy and sort my crap out. Quieting the noise and interference in my head.
How amazing to be alive the same time as Iggy. Such a wonderful person and it's so lovely, hearing him telling his stories. Makes me feel like taking a safe, sweet little nap! Life is good, sometimes ..
Hi Rick! I used to hang out in the AV room in Long Beach High School. Me and Steve Friedman spent many days after school at his house hanging out. He was such a great guy! Good Memories ❤️
Thank you, Rick -- you are a master interviewer and have such insightful questions to bring out amazing information from these artists! This was mesmerizing and can't wait for part 2-!! So glad you are doing these, hope you never stop....
Iggy always has interesting things to say, I’m from Michigan, but a Genx’er and I always enjoy hearing Iggy talking about the music scene in the Detroit area back then, it was still very vibrant when I was in my teens and 20’s too. Great interview.
hello i'm a big fan of mr.Pop from Russia. i seen him 16 times, 11 of which were with both Asheton brothers, so i am very lucky. we had some nice encounters, back in the day, in europe. today i live permanently in a little village, as i am a dog musher. i don't travel, cuz i am the only one to take care of my dogs. last time i seen Iggy was 2017, in Moscow. 2022 there should be a show, but it was canceled, cuz of the war going on. Iggy himself would never cancel a show for political reasons, that's my believe. however internet says that he said "that our thoughts are with Ukraine people, and that's the right thing to do blah blah" so, he probably don't have much to say in that situation but... reading that it was coming from him, is sad. they don't cancel shows in the Us, when America invades Iraq, and other countries. don't the Iraq people matter? so it is really disappointing from from uncle Sam, to not letting Russian people to see mr.Pop again. I lived in the states as a child, and love American culture. Why can't politics just take it outsight, and not interfere in peoples cultural life?
A match made in musical heaven. I used to see Iggy in NYC by St Mark's place in the 90s and early 2000s, but never got a full sit down with him. Interesting cat he is legendary.
"I Got a Right" sums up the entire libertarian ethos of Rock & Roll & America. "I'm Sick of You" is one of the greatest male perspective break up songs & tell offs. I saw the video for "I'm a Wild One" when I was 5 & haven't been quite the same since. Thanks, Iggy.
@@PluralofvinylisvinylsLibertarian ethos there Pol Pot, you know that feeling you used to have like you could run your own life. You may not think they're as tough as Stalin, Hitler or even "Caitlyn" Jenner but it was many a freedom loving man who fought off the tyrants and gave your pathetic, whiny ass a chance to be free even if you can't handle it. How's your dad?
I lived in Ann Arbor until I was about 8 or so and I remember my grandparents taking me to silver lake and I’d catch tadpoles there. Always very cool to here these musicians who inspire me all the time walking in the same places I’ve been and seeing how our stories align
Riveting exchange, Thanks to you both for doing this, so much backstory and I was really loving hearing about the Detroit scene at that time and all the connections with the other bands. The late 70's early 80's Boston Rock scene that I was involved with heavily had a similar vibe with other bands digging what you were doing and vice-versa, which gave you other bands to do shows with. Good Times !! Looking forward to hearing part two. 🧑🎤⚡🧡
Thank you Rick and thank you Iggy I love you old heads so much 💗 I'm not so young anymore either I'm 41 grew up here in Philadelphia in the 90s listening to nirvana and the "new " punk lol and classic rock so cool to be able to see hendrix I would give my left nut to see the experience or the band of gypsys love the spiders from Mars album mick ronson is the most underrated guitarist of all time!!
I finally heard somebody else say what I've been thinking for years, that the early Stones albums with the covers were their best. Thank you Mr. Osterberg (sp?)
My girlfriend introduced me to John Sinclair in early 2000. We were at the music menu bar in Detroit that night. He mentioned that he was the founder of the Detroit blues society, which I thought was great. I later found out the rest of his history. Nice guy.
Great podcast Rick! Iggy laid it out PERFECT except you forgot to mention one of the GREATEST singers-songwriters no one ever heard of that came out of Detroit at the same time the early Rock scene was happening. The mysterious legend Rodriguez! Also known as “Sugar Man” his song “Cause” maybe the best song ever of any genre. Zero commercial success. All of his songs are on my Spotify playlist.
Really pleasant conversation. Both are good. Rick is genuinely interested and Iggy is motivated to tell stories. Knows how to do it - that's probably why Tell Me a Story is one of his best songs. Anyways, thanks a lot. By the way, whoever wrote that the Stooges do not have connections with Afro American music, Rick mentioned reading about that, should check his ears by a specialist. Their LP is all over Bo Diddley. Have a great day wherever you are and keep RnR safe :-)
34:05 I get that totally. I think about a particular year like 74 and all the albums i love such as Queen's Sheer Heart Attack, Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway etc and meanwhile at CBGB's are a new band called The Ramones playing a liitle tune they wrote called Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue. That blows my mind.
Not even a fan, yet i definitely enjoy listening to Iggy Speak without knowing the songs he is referencing , that is Charisma . I made it to 56 with minimal exposure to the music despite very aware of who he is and the persona , ethos to some degree , the Bowie connection , and a level of respect based on his iconoclastic vibe / optics . Listening to this and all the influences and respect for an eclectic group of artists and I admit I wouldnt have expected from what I thought I knew he was about musically which both spoke about in regards to how critics perceived them being void of R&B etc . I need to take a deeper look / listen to see if I was mistaken for not exploring based on minor exposure and only seeing the stage precence / antics which may have over ridden my mind to listening . Growing up wasnt exposed when FM started which was where a lot of where i was exposed if not turned on or some random chance like buying a Frank Zappa album for a buck in grade school at a garage sale because Frank Looked Weird which I liked and then listened to the record and was like WTF how does nobody I know , know what this is . I like the way he broke down the Stones Aerosmith comparison as a Huge early Aersomith fan and fan of the second wave as well , Stones fan who didnt really have a second wave but are the Stones so it doesnt matter really , but interesting take on the old Idea of Aerosmith being a stones rip off that I thought was an overplayed Idea even if not the craziest idea . I just thought most people said front man whith big lips and guitarist with dark hair was the depth of the argument from so many people . I like Both bands which everybody at least knows so its no issue . I woukd give Aerosmith Credit shaking that comparison considering the Stones being MONSTEROUS to the point of people asking Beatles or Stones as a stock peronality test question . Anybody who had big lips was called a mic rip off like David Johansen who might have been a little but still not fair really . Regadless if your first it doesnt mean those after cant be great . Many bands though to similar made there own away and became ver respected . its unfair as everybody stands on everybodies back , the problem is when its so obvious and just not good or lasting in hindsight .
Very nice to hear IGGY talk out from SHANGRILA RANCH Malibu CA. Real good place to be... Lived on HEATHERCLIFF when I arrived in Los Angeles in 1990 to spend three sanctioned yet wonderful decades in LAWOMAN town. Living next to the ocean is a tremendously h e a l i n g ecperience. Can't wait to be back. And now I will listen to Iggx's song WON'T CRAP OUT and silently remember his song SHADES.The latter means a lot to me for personal and artpromotion reasons. Thanks Iggy,for being so strong and keeping on keeping on. Bavaria ,where I had to live since oct.2019 for an inheritance issue is beautiful but v e r y cold in winter .The trauma that king Ludwig II experienced after having been arrested in his brdroom in one of his castles and then murdered by a crazy psychiatrist is l i n g e r i n g over the beautiful SWANLAKE (Starnbergersee) like a curse.asking to be removed. Again t h a n k s IGGY..We now are at the end of the EVENING OF LIGHT (my friend NICO was filmed with you in the video for this song) and a NEW AGE OF EARTH is dawning. Enjoy the UFO s that often show up around POINT DUME !
Rick Rubin, don't lecture a legend about how modern music is just as good. It's not HARD TO SAY WHAT"S BETTER! The Stooges and Iggy are TOTAL legends, and not just for stories, but their music is fricking epic. Modern music is 99% garbage and overproduction is absolutely part of the problem.
Iggy says at one pt "our music didn't come out and grab you" - well it did me. I remember distinctly where I was when I first heard 1969 and Be yr Dog. That's when I realized I had been a victim of AOR radio. "this stuff exists and you want me to listen to Journey? Fuck no." The topper being I grew up in Windsor, across from Detroit, and came to MC5 after Stooges, no thanks to radio.
Iggy’s mind is still as sharp as ever. Incredible
Loved this, thanks Rick. I understand requests can be irritating, but can you reach out to Tom Waits? I would love to hear from him, and think you'd be the best to interview him. Cheers
He'll be in the next cast of interviews.
That would be amazing!!

First of Rick,killer interview. You're the best interviewer, second Iggy has memory of everything, he works with two brains. Very astute.
The Beatles were the end of the Show Business Era and the Stooges were the beginning of the Rock Era. The context shifted and made everything look different as context shifts do. I'd add that Detroit in the 60s saw the rise of the middle class via automotive wages. Money means guitars.
