'War Stories'
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.
I wonder if these are the same people complaining about how Rocky Horror is problematic?
I got a new phone this weekend and hadn't downloaded music onto it yet, and now I've grabbed a bunch of my Bowie albums from the cloud. I'm listening until my face gets hot and I'm about to cry, and then I have to back off for a while.
I keep thinking I need to move on to an album that isn't Ziggy Stardust, and then my hindbrain rises up and goes 'NO, NO WE DON'T, PRESS REPEAT NOW'.
Wheaties: I mean, WOW. Also, he is so unimpressed by that argument.
Here's my Bowie connection - my stepbrother was in a dance company called La La La Human Steps that worked with Bowie in the late 1980s. He's the male dancer in this video [link] (definitely low billing compared to the woman, Louise Lecavelier! - he doesn't come in until the 3 minute mark.)
Um. . . wow. Cool Bowie connection.
I think that there is no reason at all to move on from Ziggy Stardust.
Jermaine Clement: I’m still glad he didn’t meet us, perhaps he would have liked to, but he would have blown our minds.
That's awesome. I miss those guys as a team.
Not that I know of, but I'd love to hear what Eno knows about those sessions.
