Tony Visconti Quotes

“One night David decided to start a spoken word album; David loved Iggy’s stories about his days with The Stooges. For a few nights in a row, David, and I sat in the darkened studio asking Iggy questions with the tape rolling. The stories were both decadent and hilarious. I have never heard these tapes since; they would make perfect Podcasts.”

“One day Ron Mael of Sparks casually asked Morgan what he thought of the recording we were making.
