Rio Interview

whoaaaa...this is a really great interview! Thnx a lot HJW!! looong link man
every iterview has some new info for me..like:

JS: God is in the details... art is where it all comes together.
IGGY: Exactly... so what I did is I got a job in a record store. I was
18 and I started listening to Toreg medicine chants. I still listen to
that shit. I listen to voodoo drum sessions, Musica de Terreiro,
Umbanda, Candomble, all kinds of ethnic and folklore music from lotsa
musical cultural traditions... that's my real musical influences. Stuff
like just a bunch of Arab tribesmen sitting in a field beating on cans
[singing monotones] waaaa, waaa waaaaa, waaa waaaa... That sort of
thing is really powerful, things with three and four notes repeated
over and over again... and shit like Bedouin music was real big for
me... belly dance music...

JS: Shaman trance music...
IGGY: Right! And so I was listening to a lot of that shit. And at the
same time trying to get exposed to everything that was going on in the
'60s...

Yeh its a great interview isnt it? i love how he talks about all his influences, im guna look them all up now, ive heard of a couple of them, like harry partch, he's cool, it was a really candid interview, also did you notice i think those trousers he has on have the three stooges, the tv ones, on it

I didn't see that..about the trousers! hahahaha! that's super!
wonder if Cathy (cb) knows that..she has the photo as her avatar.

Lol, yeh, its probly an homage, though personally i'd go for the marx brothers if you're lookin for laughs, its one of my favourite pictures of iggy too
