New interview on NPR

There was a new interview on NPR yesterday. The interview is by Terry Gross on her show Fresh Air. Its mostly about Iggys new album but she also brings up Ron, and he talks about James W. If you euros dont know it our national public radio. WWW.npr .org, click on fresh air.

Thanks , man, did you notice what he said about Ron and his blood pressure ?

Yeah..if he had visited the doctor in the States, he wouldn't have died probably now..it was quite sad to hear..I believe that high level of his blood pressure could have been connected with his likes towards drinkin' booze..unfortunately...

thanks for the link, great interview, well iggy was a good interviewee, but i thought the woman interviewing him was an idiot, stupid questions and some inappropriate as well

but yeh the Ron stuff was sad to hear, wish he'd taken better care of himself that he may have been with us a little longer, though as iggy said, he went at his best

Interesting interview, thanks!

Nah Ron wasn't a heavy drinker, just all had to do with him getting older. It's tragic.

"Autumn Leaves" by Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra sound better than Iggy's version. I never heard Iggy talk much about his moms before. Funny when she said her son had a good physique and his dad said the lyrics sounded like poetry. I didn't know his old pa died just last year. I thought Ron stroked out in his chair all along. That part about Iggy felt bad, mad at Ron, and mad at the people around Ron when he died is exactly how I felt when my best friend died too. That hurts.

Thanks for posting, great interview as is always the case with NPR.

I enjoyed it a lot, i think Terry G is a great interveiwer actually. She seems as if she takes the time to find out about people and asks them questions that make them think . How often do you hear Iggy at a loss for words?
