Real Life Parallels
Dec. 19th, 2004 02:39 pmHere's Todd in an interview from Neon magazine about the Bowie/Iggy relationship:
Haynes is adamant that the affair he imagined between Slade and Wild shouldn't be interpreted as implying a similar relationship between Bowie and Iggy Pop. "There's no evidence that there was anything sexual going on between them. Bowie had romances with other people -- there was a strong suggestion that something was going on with Lou Reed, for example, though whether it was consummated in the bedroom we will never know. All we know is there are photos of the two of them snogging at parties and there was a great romantic climate that they exploited consciously as artists. In a way, that's more concrete than anything that really happened in private, because no-one would know. And in a way, why should you care? What's done publicly is more real because the fans can build on it in their imaginations."
I had to move the links mentioned in the comments, so I am adding them here:
A highly personal take on this: Since you mention the Dinah Shore show twice, here's some pictures.
Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down... I think you'll appreciate these pix of Iggy from that TV appearance you mentioned. (Iggy and the Stooges Live in Cinncinatti 1970.)
Of course he's had it in the ear before... Most of the Iggy pics I scan are from I Need More and Blood and Glitter. This one was in a comment so you may not have seen it.
