Iggy Pop On The CBC

Oh what a crazy world it is...

I was listening to a tune by Mogwai this morning called Punk Rock, in which a man's voice can be heard speaking in the background about punk rock. I did some digging, and it turns out the voice (and the words he's speaking) belongs to a man named Iggy Pop. And he spoke these words on the CBC in 1977 in an interview with the one and only Peter Gzowski.
Here's the video clip. Inspiring.















Comments:
Oh my god that was too awesome. I watched the whole thing and am still laughing from when he says "are you popular? I suppose you get a kick out of it..." and Peter goes "sometimes."

Anyway, what he says about punk rock certainly sounds profound and it's because he meant it to. I'm sure he had no idea what he was saying.
 
You're probably right about Iggy not really knowing what he was doing most of the time. He's still awesome!
