Ziggy And Iggy On The Airwaves


Mr Pop and DB get all moody at an Iggy aftershow in 1986.

From station to station back to Düsseldorf City
Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie...*

The BBC have a couple of radio programmes that may interest you over the weekend. First up, Radio 2 has an hour-long documentary Called: EARPLUGS AND EYELINER: THE IGGY POP STORY. Here's the blurb from the BBC site:

Chrissie Hynde tells the story of one of the greatest rock icons of our age and godfather of the punk rock movement - Mr.James 'Iggy Pop' Osterberg.

From his time in the Psychedelic Stooges, to the plain Stooges, then on to Iggy & The Stooges, Iggy Pop defined Punk before it even existed.

This special programme on Radio 2 features comments from Glen Matlock, Miranda Sawyer, Chris Charlesworth and the great man himself.

The show airs at 21:30 UK time on Saturday, and is sure to make mention of DB somewhere.

Meanwhile, Marc Riley has a Bowie feature in the Holy Grail section of his MINT show on 6 Music on Sunday evening. It's a short slot, concentrating on rare Bowie releases up to Diamond Dogs.

Don't panic if you've read this too late, both shows have online listen-again features that can be found at the shortcuts above.

*OK, it's not a Bowie lyric, but you tell me another song that mentions Iggy Pop and David Bowie in the same breath. Thank the lord for Kraftwerk!
