DENIM DELINQUENT   VOL 5

CLICK ON ARTICLE TO ENLARGE

The nights at the Whiskey, Starwood and other spots on the Strip paid off with denim delinquent's most celebrated issue, #5. Featuring a cover of Iggy, taken from a postage-sized photo of the man, blown up, painted and then treated in a photo developing shop, and including an actual band-aid stuck on Iggy's cheek on each issue, this cover has been emulated by the great modern zine "Black to Comm" and used as the cover for Bomp's Stooges CD, "Wild Blood."

Reviews of performances of the Dolls, Iggy's nights out at the Whisky, Blue Oyster Cult, Alex Harvey, Blue Cheer, Moby Grape, Redwing, and Kiss are featured. An interview the 1974 version of Moby Grape, without Skippy, is a big part of this issue.

Danny Sugerman's take on Iggy is featured on page two. He used a pseudonym as he didn't want people to say, "ah he's just saying that because he's Iggy's manager."

An interview during a wild night with Kim Fowley in his studio apt on the Strip was also included, where he dug through his box of 45's and threw classic pieces of plastic as we scrambled with mad delight to gather our bounty.

Much of the content regarding our encounters with Iggy were enhanced in the liner notes to Bomp's Stooges CD, "Califonia Bleeding" and featured in Paul Trynka's excellent Iggy bio, "Open Up and Bleed." Paul interviewed Jymn for an hour and used some comments in the same book.
