inventors of industrial metal?

Iggy is the real deal. I think that's what intrigued Bowie about him so much. Imagine Bowie being around so many artsy fartsy flashy Londoners with their wild theatrical clothes and high fashioned hair do's which David became so invloved in during the 70's. Then he sees Iggy, a high school drop out from Ypsilanti Michigan whose fashion is a t shirt and jeans with a ripped body and a crazy raw stage presence. Bowie was hooked. Bowie' deserves credit for knowing the real thing when he saw it .

Why is everybody always on about Iggy, Nico, Lou or Patti Smith as the figureheads, whereas John Cale the true Godfather is mainly being ignored. Nobody else can claim to have had such a musical influence on alternative music, yet the interviewer is just interessted in Iggy´s opinion on Nico. Without Cale Nico´s Marble Index and Desertshore wouldn´t have sounded anyway near as gothic and sinister as they became.

It´s time people started acknowledging and talking about the genius of John Cale!

@adric137 As Billy Name put it: Nico seemed to go with every guy... for a period of time.[...] She just was that lackadaisical icon who would go from beautiful person to beautiful person because she couldn't really bear the mundanity of having relationships for very long. [...] The mundane world didn't interest her at all and she easily became bored [...] The nature of relationships as they had to play out were uninteresting to her - but she liked to love people.

@adric137 No. The Velvets went to Michigan to see a Band, that sombody recommended to them. That would be the Stooges. Nico immediately made Iggy her boyfriend and took him to NY. Iggy himself said, that when he came back to Michigan, he'd become a lot meaner and was a junior alcoholic.

@Charleybones Jim Osterberg was not a highschool dropout. In fact, he was quite good in school. Everybody liked him and everybody expected him to become something great. He dropped out of University, where he studied Anthropology, AFAIR.
