Two icons chatting with one another. Perfection.

What a great podcast. Elvis and Iggy appreciating each other.

Elvis, I couldn't afford to see your "Spinning Wheel" tour in NYC in 1986 but I wrote to you care of your hotel and you mailed back an autograph. Never forgot that! Also ran into you on the street in New Orleans three years ago and you were nice enough to take a selfie with me. Iggy, you look fantastic! Long may you rock, gents!

[andyborehol]

These guys behave at home exactly as I expected...Elvis never puts down his guitar and Iggy never puts on a shirt

[johncook]

I love to see to musicians have such an easy time talking so long to each other. Elvis is such an encyclopedia of Rock and Roll history and influence. R& B Jazz, straight forward Rock, Motown. Southern Rock etc.

[spaceantelope]

So glad these guys are still around. Two of my favs, for entirely different reasons.

[avalondreaming]

The duo you never knew you needed!! Love these two.💚💚

How cool Elvis hit tower records in San Francisco and grabbed a Bay area free paper. How cool he describe my home town super well. For the people wanting to hear Iggy say more. He's quite a thinker. Toured a festival in Australia with him.. a super nice guy. Nice to hear more from Elvis. Cheers

I commend you for allowing your guests to not only answer your specific questions but also not interrupting the conversations between the two of them. Cool stuff!

Jim, thanks for your music, it changed my life, , at the Eastown Theater, in Detroit, i was a 16 year old kid, sitting on the floor in front of the stage, you did a stage Dive and landed next to me, and crawled up to me and looked into my face, That was one of the Greatest moments in my life, i am 67 years old now, i tell people this story today, and they look at me like i am full of shit, My Best to you Jim, I am Glad that you are still around, you changed my life that Night Man, Cousin Figel

Anyone else re Listening and writing down the bands and artists? I love listening to the bands which shaped a artist, then re Listening to the Artist. It's like hearing the symphony of his or her's musical Art palette...

[Elvisman]

Love both of these guys . A great insight. Elvis is a musicologist, ditto Iggy . Iggy Pops BBC 6 special on his friend David Bowie the year he passed was the best radio show I've ever heard . Just love his music life smarts . And when you talk passion, well that's Elvis Costello, God bless 'em both ...

[MURUR]

Moderator did a good job of 'staying out of the way'. Hats off to him.

[susanklein]

That first story was wonderful -- I'm from SF and know the Old Waldorf so well (and the music shop in Marin). Iggy is so sweet and kind.

[aircomp]

Kudos to Andy Greene for letting these two guys talk. Good call.

Saw Elvis at The Sydney Opera House about 83 and Iggy at The Capitol the year before. Two greats. Such a pleasure to hear them chat.

I went to see Elvis in Brighton in 1977 I think at the Roxy..I was a 14 year old punk boy ready to gob at anyone who went on stage...John Cooper Clarke was his his warm up and excellent...Elvis came on and I was all prepared to spit and pogo...the opposite happened. I spent nearly two hours enthralled by the man and his music, as did we all. It was almost dreamlike and he was utterly charming to us kids..Probably the best concert that I ever went to at that time...A few weeks later, the Buzzcocks were on the same stage and Pete Shelley said if one of yous flob on us we're off. Two minutes later he was running off stage covered in spit and the set smashed up. Just goes to show that charm and beautiful music wins over teen savages

Elvis toured with his band back then listening to American radio and said about how often the same songs would play: "I guess that's why they call them frequencies" Thanks to the guy down below for not interrupting the way many hosts would and when he does-he steers the conversation in a great new direction! THE TUBES was the band Iggy couldn't remember. 45:03 Why doesn't each write a bunch of songs with the other in mind and have him sing that song THEN: Release THAT album! IGGY GOES ELVIS AND POP GOES COSTELLO

[stevenblakeakahashburns]

Can we just have iggy and elvis chatting and they both ask each other the questions? Or no questions. Just them drinking chatting getting plastered for 5 hours, I’d watch that
That would be bloody awesome

[gbaren]

Sooo much insight on the biz and "scene" of 70's to 90's. Great!
