From memory there was Fats Waller, Howling Wolf and Sun Ra. Great interview, great interviewer, thanks uploader. (bad title but thats a moot point, he's really together here.) ta.
I couldn't hear him real well: could anyone tell me who Iggy said his favorite musicians growing up were? I got Cab Calloway, but the others I wasn't sure of.
Have a look at Tom Snyder interviewing John Lydon and Keith Levene of PIL...three, maybe four interviews, each one fascinating...the earliest very defensive/antagonistic in equal measures, and the later ones more more enlightening in other ways - Snyder begins to empathise with Lydon, and Lydon appreciates the chance to dispense with all the hysteria and talk about his art.
I love the way Iggy becomes more lucid as time goes on, to the point where he educates his host, and half the audience, about Dionysian vs Appollonian art..love it :)
So cool that Iggy is so cool to Tom, and takes time to explain about monitor speakers, instead of mocking his question like many jerky rock stars would.
did'nt think he would be alive now! saw him three times in 1977,78,79 and he really was good.Today him and his mini me selling car insurence,well I would never had believe that...lol
A bit coked up yes, but mostly the guy is just naturally one hell of an animal. And he just got done performing and is out of breath. He's no meathead, Iggy is one intelligent fellow.
decrepit?! He was articulate, interested, witty and discussed his music in light of Nietzsche's theories! He was miles ahead of the interviewer for christ's sakes! decrepit my lily white a*s*s.
Wow, Iggy on Tom Synder's show; two greats within their professions sitting down and having a chat. Sacred footage. Thank you Shakes for the post, and thank you Iggy and Tom for the moment. At the time Tom was not known for his outside the box interview of guests so kudos to both for reaching across the isle to make it happen. And get a load of Iggy's hair! Any chance of having the performance posted?
Iggy is far from decrepit. he is genuinely interested and engaged with the whole process. In everything he has ever done it's all entertaining-even his interviews. I thanks the cosmos he ever came into being.
@cattycakes64 I agree! This is perhaps the most honest and interesting interviews I've seen with Iggy. The Interviewer is obviously interested in what the man has to say, unlike so many others that just wanted to create spectacle, rake dirt or just belittle the art form in general. Whoever posted this doesn't even know the meaning, (Dict.) of the word decrepit. Sad.
@NadiaDowton Iggy was all about courtesy and generosity of spirit when dealing with others. To me he is both lucid and engaged with Tom Snyder from start to finish.
@TheHappySuicider How do you know he is? Were you hanging with him that night? Don't say that shit unless you know. I am sick of people guessing what people are doing.
homosexuality leads to ... deprivation of the human soul/mind. period. he's disintigrating. and he's not an artist, just perverted. drugs intensifies the slide downward.
@Robb9096 and you know this, how? have you been a homosexual? have you tried to make music while under the influence of drugs? if your answer to either of these questions is no, then you should shut your ignorant mouth.
just reminds me, what a dolt of an interviewer, tom snyder was. he had the touch of a blacksmith. nuance,was unknown to him. apolonian and dionysian,would have flown right over his bloody dim head.
@SlaytanicMegaforce: he had acknowledged Morrison as an inspiration, especially earlier in his career. He was pretty forthright about it. IMO he went way beyond Morrison, who was usually had a pretentious edge to his act - like he was a performance artist at work. Iggy was more genuine.
@5150zombie lol, again. "He wasn't stoned." How do you reach this conclusion? Were you there? Everything about his actions and appearance and speech suggest that he's high out of his mind. I don't KNOW he was stoned, but you don't KNOW that he wasn't. So don't claim that you do unless you were there or Iggy told you himself.
Tom Snyder hosted many groups and provided an outlet for lots of bands, authors, and actors at a time when network television was devoid of interesting cultural representatives. He gets props from those of us who were around then. But the hipster critics here (who weren't even born then), don't even know who he is so they dump on him because of his square image. But hipsters always judge based on the superficial.
nah I'm making an informed decision that he was a square personality himself - although I admire him for bringing interesting folk like Iggy and Leary to his show.
Sounded intelligent, repectful of the respectful questions, whats decrepit? If you ask me (and I'd know) he looks great for a guy doing the amount of drugs he was at the time(ish). Iggy's fuckin great man, just wish he'd quit the car insurance ads (dya get them in the states) C'mon Iggy, be the 'Passenger' then you wont need the fuckin insurance.
I dont think he seems high or anything. Though I do not think most of you have had the experience of playing loud, live music in front of lots of people. It is very invigorating and certainly stimulates your brain in an unusual way. You might notice he seems a little less wide eyed and calmer towards the end after he has settled.
Downright compelling! Quirky - but sweet too, & totally original... Tom Snyder's a really good interviewer, too - he keeps pace, goes with the flow, & helps make it interesting but fun (i'm even OK with it being called "decrepid" even tho it -mostly- isn't... for some reason it makes the vid seem even funnier) But - those are THE bluest eyes i've ever seen, so i don't know how that commenter saw them as black!?
what a legend.rock stars all kiss ass nowadays.nice guy that tom snyder.bit mislead.why should middle america ??welcome iggy?what will you do for them?become bland like them?jesus .iggy is a model of restraint here
@bosszeroboss He didn't appear to be stoned? Have you ever been stoned? He's breathing heavily, very easily distracted, talking about minor details of his life, and bobbing his jaw and mouth around like crazy. And he's Iggy Pop.
