To me, his early work represents the New Jersey I grew up in that I wanted to escape from.
So, what you're saying is, you were bor... oh, never mind.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I downloaded Nebraska, Born to Run and Greetings From Asbury Park. Have listened to the first two and liked them. (I'm at work, and I have a feeling once I really get to listen to the lyrics of Nebraska I'll like that one even more.)
Listening to Greetings From Asbury Park now. So far I'm loving "Blinded by the Light" (I've never heard the original before).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am really liking The newest Bruce CD, Wrecking Ball. Strong, passionate writing and some cool Celtic music influences.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just for chuckles, here's Bowie covering Bruce's It's Hard to be a Saint In the City>.
Not that surprising, considering how influenced they both were by Dylan.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
orn in the USA was his biggest hit, but the only song I want to listen to from that era is the B-side "Pink Cadillac" (a hit for the Pointer Sisters).
I'd always associated that song with the Natalie Cole version.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You're right, bt, that's the one I'm thinking of.

John Lurie will be on WFMU tomorrow morning. Hopefully, this is a sign that his health is improving.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
John Lurie will be on WFMU tomorrow morning. Hopefully, this is a sign that his health is improving.
I certainly hope so. I read an article about what his last decade has been like (in the New Yorker, I think) and it made me sad.

It's about time!
In college, a male friend was trying to convince me I was gay (or at least bi). He paraphrased a line from Hair (that went, "I wouldn't kick Mick Jagger out of my bed" or somesuch) and asked me if I'd kick David Bowie out of my bed.
I had to say, "No."
So anyway, I have to read that book.
eta:
“Mick was very conscious of doing whatever it takes to stay hot; David was the hottest thing around at the time.”
Hee!
