[A] [B]
[F] [B] In 10 measly minutes we'll have the world premiere of One Love, the first ever solo
video from Love & Rockets frontman Daniel Ash.
Right now though, time for a 120 backflip to July, when Iggy Pop was my co-host on 120 Minutes.
Iggy's been making records for over 12 years now, and he's considered by many to be one
of the pioneers of punk rock.
His latest album, Brick by Brick, is his biggest yet, and his duet with B-52 Kate Pearson [Ab] looks
like the Ig-man's first legitimate [N] shot at Top 40 success.
But as Iggy told us, times weren't always so easy for him, and could have gotten really
bad if it wasn't for his longtime friend and colleague, David Bowie.
Your first solo album was 70-77's The Idiot, and how big a part did David Bowie play in
your emergence as a solo artist?
Well, I mean, put it this way, before I made that record I was basically, I was a street
person in LA basically, and I'd been [Eb] kind of stymied by the entire music business and
[D] a really disastrous [Eb] manager in general, and [N] drug problems and drinking and general carousing,
you know, so at the time I could have put together kind of just a stock rock band, something
glam, something tasteless, but I didn't want to do that, and it was really timely that
he suggested basically two things, getting out of LA, [Eb] which is great, and making an album
together, which was a good idea, because he was really, he was loony enough to try anything
at the time, he'd go to any length to do really good work, a very exciting individual artistically,
and his album, the album he had out at that time was [Bb] called Station to Station, [Eb] that's
a great record, it's a really good record.
So yeah, he was very instrumental in that,
I think had he not come along with that proposal I probably wouldn't be talking to you now. Really?
Yeah, I'd be playing somewhere, probably in 42nd Street or something, you know, something
like that, so it was a good stroke.
