[Fm] Coming away from the concert where we filmed him recently, Iggy [N] Pop muttered,
Who's the godfather of punk?
and then drew three arrows in the condensation on
the coach window all pointing at himself.
Well, is the appellation deserved?
In the
spare wilderness of early 70s rock, when music became what is best described
perhaps by John Cale of the Velvet Underground as quote, merely the
extensions of the corporations which own the music.
In that period it was John
Cale and his protégés, the New York Dolls and Iggy Pop who kept alive the
[G] tradition of high-energy music.
For them, only them rock would still go, ehh.
Well
in 74-75 Iggy's third album Raw Power inspired many of our now new bands but
first talks of his supporters.
They stuck with me when I was screwing up, when I
was a jerk, you know, when I couldn't, when I couldn't put out consistent
product, when I couldn't talk three words in a row without falling down, when I
wasn't doing [N] good shows they stuck with me and some personal friends did too,
especially David Bowie and my mother and father, yeah, things like that, you know.
The only reason I'm doing this is to get, get my face on more screens, to get my
name in more papers and more print and to expand my fame.
But you are aware it's
gonna be a problem for you isn't it later?
And also to, to increase my
financial power.
But on the other hand, that's not the most important thing.
On the other hand I'm
determined, I'm determined, I'm determined to enjoy this and I can enjoy it only if
I sincerely tell you that.
You do provide something and give [Fm] something.
A lot of
the people who were influenced by the Sex Pistols were influenced before by you, right?
I mean there's that influence thing you've had on English music.
Yeah but, but a lot of
what I do is just, is just the most inane, ridiculous, I'm one of the most inane,
ridiculous [G]
dorks.
I'm [F] Alfred E.
Newman, I'm [C] a nerd.
[G] A nerd?
Yes, [C] you know what a nerd is?
Is there a, a twit?
[G]
It's [Am] not like a twit [F] though, the Mad [C] Magazine.
[G]
[Am] [F] Why [C]
do you think [A] people want to
come and see [F] that, that, that [C] nerd?
Because [F] I work hard and do a real [C] good, I [A] make a really nice [F] piece of art.
[C] [Em] Sometimes and [Am] sometimes my [C] piece of art isn't so good.
[Em]
I guess the reason I'm able to [C] do that is because once [Em] I started I never gave up.
