Zsinjeh posted:Do other comics have a legitimate beef with Marc Maron or is it just comic to comic joking around? Dude was an alcoholic narcissist and drug abuser for over a decade, that tends to make you a lot of enemies. He started the podcast because even though he was a fairly well-known comedian and broadcaster, he'd burned so many bridges over the years that he just could not find work anywhere. I think that's part of what makes Maron so interesting -- he seems like he should have been found dead in an alley somewhere by now. Instead, he's spent the last few years climbing out of the hole he dug, slowly picking up the pieces of his life while carving out a niche for himself. It's weirdly inspiring.

Marc Maron interviewing Bill Murray could be epic. I'd like to see Maron interview Lemmy. They're both big rock 'n roll fans and Lemmy must have a ton of fun stories about comics who opened for Motorhead and either killed or bombed. Plus there's all the great "rock band on tour" stories and Lemmy's own life in rock. He seems likes a difficult interview, though, since he's never very forthcoming & he has a low bullshit tolerance. As soon as Maron started going on about his issues, Lemmy would probably say, "I'm not a therapist mate. We talkin' 'bout you or me?"

Listening to the Iggy Pop interview -- I'm enjoying it, but if you aren't a fan of Iggy then I don't think it'll be of much interest. You can sorta hear that Iggy wears dentures, which is depressing and heartening at the same time. Depressing because it's a reminder that Iggy Pop is super-old, but heartening because if a guy his age can still rock, there's hope for all of us.
