When worlds collided in the 1970s



My aunts used to watch daytime talk shows like Mike Douglas and Dinah Shore. Imagine everyone's surprise when Dinah Shore offered her audience of primarily older housewives this truly weird moment in which Iggy Pop and David Bowie sat down for a chat. It's very sweet watching the ladies on this show express concern about Iggy Pop's self-inflicted scars.

Truly, the 70s were a weird decade; I am glad to have been tuned in and watching on this particular broadcast day.

Here's a clip of the boys performing on the show.
