Watch Iggy Pop and Thurston Moore Chat, Jam Together in New Film I’ve Nothing But My Name

Rough Trade have shot a new documentary, “I’ve Nothing But My Name,” in which Iggy Pop and Thurston Moore converse at Iggy’s home in Miami. In the first instalment, they discuss themes ranging from the Stooges’ early psychedelic experimentation to their influence on Sonic Youth. Iggy also reflects on the San Francisco woman who inspired his song “Gardenia” (and also caught the imagination of their mutual acquaintance, Alan Ginsberg). In the anecdote, he reveals he once wrote essays on 12 of his former partners, during a “sexually dry” spell in the ’90s, which he has unsuccessfully tried to have published. And around the 15:50 mark, they jam Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode.” Check it out below.
