THE NIGHT POP DROPPED
HIS BOMB ON EVERYONE
When Iggy and David Bowie would work on music together,
sometimes it took a cajolin' from Bowie to get Iggy to write
about certain subjects.
An interestin' instance of this, is the song Dum Dum Boys.
David wanted Iggy to write a song about The Stooges, but
Iggy wasn't really into the idea at first.
David encouraged the idea by tellin' Iggy that The Stooges
were a heck of a band.
Iggy finally decided to write the song.
"How about Dave? / OD'd on alcohol" was referrin' to the
recent death of Stooges bassist Dave Alexander.
Zeke and Rock was referrin' to Scott and Ron.
James was referrin' to James Williamson.
Over at the Goose Lake.
The song 1970 in the year 1970.
Dig all Stooges… but, in regards to Iggy, Raw Power and The Idiot are my desert island choices. Don’t know how many times I’ve listened to them and will continue to do so until I drop.
