Now, at some point, I saw version of this video which included his performance, and the event itself, but this clip shows Iggy Pop on the Tom Snyder show, shortly after knocking his own tooth out with the mic stand.
My favorite part is Iggy's opening line "Well, no... I was talking to your chick who works for you the other day..."
I have to say, Tom Snyder is (was?) the biggest douche in band interview history. Totally clueless.
That said, I do applaud his ambition (or that of his producers) in getting early punk bands on the show (The Clash, The Ramones).
They even did a segement in 1979, I believe, about this new thing called 'Punk', which even includes an interview with The Jam's Paul Weller.
Pretty good stuff, for a square.

Iggy gets my props for alluding to Nietzsche's Dionysian vs. Apollonian concept.
ReplyDeleteand for being Iggy Pop, of course.
