David Bowie and Iggy Pop - Dinah Shore TV show '77

[MrVeesworld]

He looks like Pee-Wee Herman here for some reason.

[jsphillip60]

Two of my very favorites. True innovators!

[pamicocci60]

Iggy on Dinah Shore!

[Rexicano]

Dinah Shore would interview Hitler if she could get ratings.

Rather than have real musicians on the show...Blues, Jazz, Classical...

she wants to go with this sad performance.

Punk was so popular because any idiot could do it...no craft, no musicianship, no skill...those qualities would in fact be laughed at. Noise for the instant gratification drugged out generation. Whoopie!

[DAVPK1]

@Rexicano Everyone is entitled to their opinion , even if it completely misses the point . So you don't like punk , you don't understand the rebellion , and it offends your sensibilities . Blah , blah , blah . Your really no different than the leather clad metalhead who terrorized people for liking U2 . I like it all .From Patsy Cline to Otep . DId you include Hendrix in your profile so everyone wouldn't think you were a complete snob . Music is not a clique , it doesn't need your approval .

[Rexicano]

@DAVPK1

you start off with "Everyone is entitled to their opinion" and then just bitch about mine.

Blah Blah blah...I guess you really like Hendrix, and it's just a pose for me.

I'm sorry. I'm a terrorist now.

Hyperbole and hypocrisy seem to go hand in hand with you, leather clad or not.

And bad fiction writing.

[DAVPK1]

@Rexicano " rather than have REAL musicians " " any idiot can dot it " Not very nice Teach . Actually I would love to see another movement like Punk . Something original , dangerous , anti-industry , and unpredictable . Punk spawned a lot of great music . That was the point . To obliterate the mind numbing paint by numbers crap that was being pumped out . And you know what ? It worked . Hendrix was hated by the established blues players . They said he would never be anything . Wrong .

[Rexicano]

@DAVPK1

Dunno where you get your weird History Lessons;

Actually the Hendrix era was rich with great music; Cream, Doors, Beck, Led Zep, Floyd, Moody Blues, Beatles, Kinks, CSN&Y, Joni, American R&B...so again you're wrong. The mind numb came later with 80s fake drum and Madonna, and later even more with smooth Jazz practically mocking the art form of Jazz.

You want so badly to be a rebel, but who cares what some jealous people said about Jimi?

Punk was boring noise for faux rebels.

[DAVPK1]

@DAVPK1 The Hendrix comment was actually a separate thought . Limited space didn't allow for an new paragraph . I wanted to show how new forms of music are almost always ridiculed by established musicians.The mind numbing comment was about the late 70's in which punk started to be a movement . It had nothing to do with the Hendrix era which I loved . As far as wanting to be a rebel ... that 's really kind of funny . I am a very average jeans and t-shirt guy , always have been .

[moondowg1]

@Rexicano If you do not think that Iggy pop or Bowie are real musicians(artists) you are an idiot. Theres more emotion in Iggy pop than all of the brain cramping shit on the radio today and for a few years before Iggy and Bowie toured together. Take a look at Iggy doing Bowies China Girl Live .

YEE HAW STICK IT IN YOUR GRAMMA!!!

[Rexicano]

@moondowg1

I'm really not interested in your ideas about my GrandMa...you have a sick mind and probably hate any kind of beauty in music. It's your brain that is cramped, moron.

Bowie he does not usually sing or play like this...so, obviously he tried it and found it doesn't work.

Oh yeah, and China Girl is one of the pathetic songs ever written not to mention racist.

[moondowg1]

@Rexicano Perhaps we should make an all happy, christian version of youtube . Until then get a life .

China girl is a beautiful song to a beautiful Chinese woman. You are a twit and please do me a favour . Do not write anyting back. You may be forced to hear things about yourself that your little brain cannot handle.

I was a Bowie fan in the early 70's. He has always done the same thing. He has always been Bowie.

Oh I don't think you'll like this but he is also bisexual. OH NOOOOO!!!

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

Do not name your sons James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SVinNJ]

This is neat, but try having George Clinton and the P Funk All Stars on and then you really would have had a party on that set. Can ya dig?

Just imagine Bootsy Collins sittin on that couch next to Dinahs white upity southern fried ass. That would have been what I call interesting.

Word!!!

[TheSonicchick]

Hilarious! Iggy Pop the godfather of punk talking to goody two shoes Dinah Shore about cutting himself on stage! Does it get any weirder than that?!

[sallyfieldrequired]

iggy is great but he didnt invent punk r

[onein7twist]

@sallyfieldrequired

He was essentially playing punk rock with the Stooges in 1968-69.

I guess you might call the Kinks or Link Ray punks, or even Gene Vincent, but those are more of a stretch. The term "punk rocker" came from "Sheena is a Punk Rocker", but that was about 5 years after the Stooges first album, which definitely defines the genre of punk. Nobody really invented anything musically, it's a continuum from the first drum and mouth bow to the digital loops and mixes of today.

[unfluster]

Forget the rest of the 70's (which was pretty amazing in itself)- these two dudes alone had more talent than anything- & I mean the entire music culture- from '90 to '10. Nothing comes close. Not U2, not Radiohead, not REM- This is because Ronald Reagan spread his 'corporate culture' mentality taking the balls out of American culture- & don't say 'rap' is 'cutting edge' . All rap is, is a thousand black kids trying to figure out what rhymes with 'bitch' 'ho' & 'pimp'- that's just stupid shit.)

[CrubbDaTubb]

Contrary to popular belief David and Iggy were not married or even relate but they did live together. They lived in a flat which is like part of a house but not all of it, just a bit of it. This flat most likely had several rooms but not that many or it would have been a house. I think the flat was in a cuntry near Gernamy maybe it was in Turkey I am not sure of this but it was a flat not a house and that is for sure and for real.

[alimon72]

David was a douche woh exploited Iggy...and WTF is the audience laughing at, especially when the Iggster mentioned "getting help?" yeah, I soumd like a douche for writing "the iggster."

[CrubbDaTubb]

@alimon72 You do sound like a douche - like an anal shower

[alimon72]

@CrubbDaTubb Are u serious? You really think Germany can be confused with Turkey? As for the term "flat," well, it means apartment, that's all! Here in america we say apartment, in Britian, and other areas of the world, they use the term flat. No difference. and BTW-what do i sound like again? douche or anal shower, bcuz you do know that they are 2 different things, right?...

[CrubbDaTubb]

@alimon72 You say you know all things of showers and douches and turkeys well maybe you but I know for sure and for real that a flat aint a house no matter what you say aint that the truth and like Iggy Pop would say I caint get no! Sadisfaction! Iggy and Bowie are not married now and weren't married before of course like I said they shared in the flat but were not related

[davefromebow]

Anyone know what song they sang on the show?

[NeonAimo]

I love David Bowie and Iggy...

[eliseandnicky]

[Droyd21]

"like a proud dad" haha that part cracked me up, it kind of true. XD

[madlener07]

David looks like a proud dad. So lovely

[alimon72]

@madlener07 they are the same age...3 months apart...iggy was exploited!

[elizaloo1234]

david bowie wasnt 57 in that interview? how stupid the laughing at iggys issues.worse than ramsy

[popgirlfrommars]

shut up woman, please let the genius speak!i wanna listen more of this!!!they both together unbelievable!!!!

[theberlintrilogy]

go to my page and there's a longer portion of that same dinah interview, where Bowie talks about how he came upon Iggy and the Stooges and what Iggy thinks his music has done.

[alexblackbaby89]

ziggy and iggy))) bowie changed and sold the world!

ta-ta-ta-taaa-ta-ta-ta)))

[ChloeDust]

david bowie is so gorgeous.

[WoodRatGirl]

I think the canned laughter is awful, I mean there's nothing amusing about Iggy's issues are there?

I agree with you patddd.

[lifeismusic08]

i think they thought he was joking...dinahs audiences weren't used to iggy-types

[lastmile77]

Bowie was looking spectacular at 57, pre heart trouble. Not so good for Iggy. But of course humans age differently than Bowie. Hopefully he'll be back to his old (young) self soon. Look forward to seeing him up, around, looking and sounding great at 90. Iggy can hang around too.

[warzsawa80]

The true originators of punk is a peruvian band called "Los Saicos" from 1964, check it!

[patddd]

WOW!

Never thought that Iggy would have made that purebred-all-White-pretentious­-tell-me-from-yer-money-what-t­o-accept-and-I-will-do" show back then! Was astonished he and Bowie did that. And better yet, I remember thinking that then... Now, when I forced my self to watch it again. I still ponder the question! I get it now. from what you posted here. I get it.

Thanks! Shined a light on the thought. I thought was dimmed to a lesser grey.

Great contribution!

[alixsharkey]

And don't forget also, Lou Reed's Transformer, who produced it? That's right, Bowie. And it's still the best album he ever recorded, including his biggest hit, 'Satellite of Love'. Bowie - the guv'nor.

[spurtfather]

don't forget mick ronson's production credit on transformer. all the string arrangments on transformer and hunky dory are ronson's, another genius sadly missed.

[insanedb]

david bowie made the music world

[hellopixiez]

They are juste from an other wolrd, so great, so genius..

Ps: I love the 1:09 to 1:10 ... love..

[sparkalot]

It's no secret that Iggy is a very difficult and unstable character. Iggy remains a pioneer of American music and is bestowed the title "grandfather of punk". His work with the Stooges was raw,unique, uncompromising and precedent setting. It would be fascinating to see these two reunite in a musical collaboration. Bowie also co-wrote Lust For Life among many other title on Iggy's most critically acclaimed recordings.

[sparkalot]

Bowie and Iggy were priceless together lol, what a fascinating symbiosis of creative expression. Bowie resurected Iggy's career on many occasions, with Raw Power he produced for the Stooges, Iggy's Berlin albums, The Idiot, Lust for Life and again with his biggest commercial success;(featuring Real Wild Child) It's a crying shame that they had a huge falling out in recent years.
