Purchase on iTunes Iggy Pop was invited to appear on the British TV program, So It Goes, and the complete, unedited version of his 1977 performance is now available for download and purchase on iTunes Stores. This controversial performance has been blamed for the cancellation of the TV series, which had introduced bands like The Clash and The Sex Pistols to British television for the first time, and which is the subject of the cult movie "24 Hour Party People." Now, over thirty years later, the entire performance and the complete interview with host Tony Wilson are finally out of the archives and available for viewing. This is a true collectible artifact of music history, and a reminder of a time when music was urgent, dangerous, and irresistible.

One of the most significant moments in rock history, Bob Dylan's performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival is still generating its share of controversy. By bringing an electric guitar to a folk festival, Dylan took his audience into a new world that was loud, fearless, and ready for a fight. He opened his electric set with Maggie's Farm, a song that has inspired both Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter, and which continues to serve as an anthem for the disenfranchised and dispossessed.
