CBC 90 Minutes Live, 11 March 1977
On 11 March 1977, Iggy Pop sits with Peter Gzowski on CBC’s 90 Minutes Live, booked to play and then barred by a musicians’ union snag. Asked to define punk, he treats the word as a fashion label used by outsiders. Stage stories come up, including the night he was sick and chose to vomit with some style. What holds is not the shock value. It is the clarity: performance as work, and a guest who will not let television tidy him into a brand.
