Thanks for the Shout out Iggy! FAM!

[@BIGDADDYCANKOO]

Leron Thomas Thank you for you’re work. It’s truly an amazing album.

[@FlavinMR]

Fantastic Job you did, sir!

[@theselector4733]

You are an inspiration. The band kicks SERIOUS ASS!!!!

[@fazbell]

Iggy is STILL so youthful.

[@Trustisalosingdeal]

Jarmusch interviewing Iggy Pop is great for me, totally unexpected and entertaining. I appreciate them both in each own field.

"Dear God, keep this one alive a little longer than the rest, for a change - Thanks "

Amen to that

I could listen to their stories for hours! Those were amazing! You guys rock!

[@dmsdrumcovers9506]

That was so good, and such a pleasure to enjoy! Thak you guys!

I seldom watch TV but this is the best 1 1/2 hours i have spent in a long time

[@owenwilberforce6138]

This reminds me of how Jim is such a brilliant and humble Everyman who just happens to be a citizen of the World. He’s so well versed and open to everything going on practically everywhere. You have to hope we get back to the world Pre-COVID where we were able to travel freely and without trepidation. Jim Jarmusch is also equally curious and aware and his devotion to cinema from an underground perspective makes this talk tres interesting. Great, great insights here into both artists.

[@angierucker5505]

I LOVE Iggy, Hes such a genuine sweet talented man, I just adore him ..

I am 100% sure Jim's theory on The Stones getting "Dead Flowers" from Graham Parsons is correct.

We will look back at this culture of the late 20th century and miss it beyond imagination, soon. If ya don't already. Thanks Jims❤️

Bowie had a shot at English lyrics for "My Way" lyrics. Some thing about being a clown that doesn't get the girl, was Bowie's lyric. He was bummed when he heard song on radio, but it was Paul Anka lyric. So he write "Life on Mars" which sounds like "Some Where Over the Rainbow" also.

[@marcinstarsky6759]

Thank You

Who are you talking about? Iggy is still alive and well and has made a few great albums in the last 20 years.

[@robertalexander9365]

@@slumdogjay It means: I know, my comment previously was part in jest. Let's face it, nothing he has put out in the last few decades would gain such attention as when he was in his prime. Not knocking the guy, he's still a stud...and still has bills to pay, but I personally don't think it's been anything to write home about since say "candy". If I'm wrong, please point me in the direction of something good and I'll give it a listen. (I'll make an exception for punkrocker...which he sang on..thats a good one)

Iggy Pop is a genius and The Stooges possibly the best band. The irony is ,The Stooges , The Sex Pistols , Siouxsie and the Banshees , Joy Division , New Order etc etc would never have existed (swastikas , lyrics , artwork), they would ALL of been cancelled by the modern woke liberals , those admired and supported by Iggy and legions of duped musicians in the West.

[@theselector4733]

Is iggy losing his hearing??

[@katkaplan3]

I wondered that as well- I was there for that talk, which was amazing, but it did appear he may be a bit. Which is not unusual for a musician.

[@slumdogjay]

Yes. He mentioned in another interview I’ve seen that his hearing ain’t what it was.

[@budmist8826]
