In an interview with The New York Times last year Iggy said of this performance:
"I'm going to be straight, I was more than a little high"
The best bands usually are:
I love how the whole hedonistic spectacle of unparalleled rock and roll debauchery is narrated by the square in the suit. I can just see him after the show in the hotel bar, tie slightly loosened, a martini in hand bending the barkeeps ear:
"Jesus Christ you wouldn't believe the things I saw today Bob"
I also love the sidekick....."hello....I'm a doofusy looking young person here to interpret what's going on here for Mr. and Mrs. small town America, and to make it appear non-threatening so we don't get too many complaints. Think of me as your window into the world of todays youth."
The youth that would have no doubt eaten him alive had he actually been in the crowd.
I was born 20 years too late. Sigh. Goodnight.
