Jim Osterberg from Detroit, MI. Saw this lineup in 1977 (Harvard Sq Theater). A few years later (1980?), Jim huddled under my umbrella while escorting him out of the driving rain for an in-store appearance (Kenmore Sq).
@SmexyFaust its not even that that gets me ... its the sheer effort and heart and balls the man puts in everything he does ... and a lot of the time not to have received the appreciation he deserved for it and all epitomised by the most sincerest "thank you" i have ever heard .. it breaks my heart ... love this man !
As far as Iggy's lyrics being censored--this was 1970s American network television in the A.M. I guarantee you this was the wildest stuff that made it on there in the entire decade. Not that many people took any notice at the time anyway...
Iggy seems to have let himself be censored a bit here. Instead of saying clearly "Baby, Baby we like your pants" as on the studio version of the song, it's more like "we like your pehh." Reminds me of when Mick Jagger was not allowed to say "Let's spend the night together" on the Ed Sullivan Show .
During the sister midnight performance he sings "tomatos were in my bed and i made love to them" instead of "my mother was in my bed and i made love to her".
Did he then still sing "Father he gunned for me / Hunted me with his six-gun"? One verse doesn't make much sense without the other. Oh well, it seems miraculous that Dinah Shore would ever have someone like Iggy on her show at all. Kudos to her, and to Iggy for behaving like a gentleman, unlike, say, Johnny Rotten was known to do in interviews.
"I helped wipe out the 60s" is one of my favorite quotes; which is odd cause my favorite decade is the 60s!

David Bowie and Iggy. They were lovers but their music should have never collided.

Helped wipe out the Sixties - I still don't really know what that means; unless hip is a police gun and John Lennon is happy?

True, Iggy's interviews are generally very honest which make them quite enjoyable (and funny!) for most people even back then.
I think some censoring can be appropriate sometimes, at least he still was able to perform in his very own way.
