I Think That All The

It's Fair To Say That I Have A Side That Is Prudent And A Side That Is Not.

The Problem Being: For Years I Was Struggling - First To Prove That I Had Any Talent, Then To Create Some Skills And Finally To Fulfil It Reasonably. But Then Once I Got There It Was, "ok. I Did That, But I Want To Be Happy." And That's A Whole Different Deal. It's Kind Of Like A Dance. Being Active Seems To Help. I'm 70, So Sometimes A Little Voice Is Going, "just Take It Easy".

I Became Iggy Because I Had A Sadistic Boss At A Record Store. I'd Been In A Band Called The Iguanas. And When This Boss Wanted To Embarrass And Demean Me, He'd Say, 'iggy, Get Me A Coffee, Light.'

When Punk Began To Be A Genre, People Were Going To Go Out And Try To Mine It. Some Of The Better Groups, Like The Ramones And The Sex Pistols, Were Very Artificial.

You Know What I Think You Get Scared Of More - Especially Me, After Touring For So Long And Being In Bands For So Long - You Start To Associate Certain Behavior With The Music. It's Like People Associate Having A Cigarette With Having A Cup Of Coffee, Or Lunch.
