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).

I am really liking The newest Bruce CD, Wrecking Ball. Strong, passionate writing and some cool Celtic music influences.

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.

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.

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.

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!

New book reveals Bowie and Jaggar’s steamy affair:

Angie Bowie talked about this in her biography Backstage Passes.

You know, I'm a little worried that Bowie hasn't done anything since he had heart problems seven years ago.
