- Iggy Pop: “The music business is always behind the other arts. It’s the stupidest of all the businesses. It’s way behind visual arts, way behind architecture, it generally lags behind automotive design, cybernetics, you name it. So we had some new ideas, that was part of it. Then there were some other things… we were maybe a little too….street….for the music industry. What we’re doing now, we never did then. We never did interviews about our music. We never went out and played it for people that expected or wanted to hear it. Also I think it’s not the type of music that is ever going to be widely commercial at one place or one time, but it’s snowballed.
