I met Mark once back in 1977, just before Devo made it big. He told me they were probably going to move back to Ohio in a month because they couldn’t afford to live in LA any longer. The next week Iggy Pop heard them in the rehearsal studio, told Bowie about them, and he helped get them a record deal. Funny how life works sometimes.
Great story.
Iggy Pop is an interesting character.
How he had any influence is still beyond me.
Never the less, he was there and we were not.
Original Anarchist.
