All I know about Bowie is that the sight of him turned my stomach.
Sorry about that but it's the truth. |

Hi Vel HNY, I was never a fan but fair play he did a Shakespere with poppy aplomb. To appreciate the works of others and use them in a different idiom is a talent, and he had it in spades why reinvent the wheel when there are perfectly good ones about, the Antony Newley influence is easily recognisable in his voice.

Jim Bliss was abandoned
At the penile implant factory Settings reconfigured Disguised without feathers Hey baby go baby Lime 3305 2433 just seconds away An excuse to avoid housework C'mon give a little tug Let's play Fred Astaire As Ginger rogers Major Tom Under the bandstand... I mean, Bliss never quit the team Or lied to MaryJo 'bout the veal cutlets No darlin'! the Harlequin assured her In fabled Xanadu where she hung up her dress And wore his old jeans and faded green T-shirt Ya scabby hoon bassas, ye always get drawn At home in the cup competitions. ---------------------------------------- OK...I can see this is actually a wee bit harder than it looks, as the Bishop......eh.....can anyone suggest a cutting edge fashion look....the kind of thing Alan Yentob might admire...? Gonna take this to You Tube...got a boxwood banjo in the airing cupboard... |

Chris Tarrant quiz...Drop the Dead Donkey novelisation...Green Eyes by Suzanne Rand...losing lottery ticket which will now be heartily recompensed by MASSIVE song royalties and a VELASQUEZ BOND set against said royaltiesaaaa! Also, a DELUDED FUD BOND leveraged against the original VELASQUEZ BOND...      Any "Rangers" fans on here? This is the time to dig deep and INVEST! |

OK, Crags -- will do...but that's a bit random, dude IMO...we (that is, The Black Irish) just wanna...y'know, like...CELEBRATE the fella - who was a star, after all - in a cheerful, showbiz way, y'know?

You'd think Bowie who's been a star since the early 70s would be someone we could all agree to add a nice word for brightening up our lives
but no...we have to suffer the same old sh1t on here |

Someone mentioned the FASCIST stuff on another thread...also "borrowed" from Anselm Kiefer. All the young dudes, eh? G'night campers!

Hey, that is CLASSY, Mister! We can drop the stuff about the Scottish Cup draw if you reckon it will bring in more $$moolah.

It's what he would have wanted.

Still no mention of The Laughing Gnome. I had hoped to hear it in one of the tributes. Still hoping.

Happy new year Bodil ya tool!

And HNY to you and the other gentle posters. Bit late for Bowie. Though maybe he's just taking this year off dead for tax avoidance reasons.

Did yer try for the big brash lottray jackpot, Bodil fella? I had a lot of LIME and TEAL for the raffles. How were you coloured yourself?

But what about the film? Saw it in London - central art house stuff.

Whoops - we may be treading on the revered relics of Bowie. Shift it to your thread.
Life on Mars was part of the background to my attempt to become a world-class drunk. Along with Steely Dan, Lou Reed, Stevie Wonder and many others. When he abruptly changed genre I knew he would fail. And again and again and again and again. Well, he's not going to contradict me this time (bar a no 1 album and several no 1 singles). |

Tell you what, the night crew certainly know how to bring a perfectly respectable tribute thread to its knees.
RIP DB, one of the best, no doubt. |

Sorry btf, my remark was aimed at Aunty Post. Tin Machine was his late 80's reinvention and was an exploration of hard rock (Grunge - though you'd hardly call such a dapper individual a grunge style - icon!). I'll dig out the Albums, from which the single 'Under The God' is the best track IMO Bowie and Tin Machine performing Space Boy live on The Jools Holland Show was absolutely incredible. His vocals and their musicianship was stunning. |

Hey Velasquez, just read your allegedly disrespectful night-shift rant. You never mentioned Grayson Perry
Shocking omission.IMO |

You're absolutely correct - it's not. Thanks for questioning it. I've been living with that misnomer for over 20 years ! It's taken some research on line , but finally I've unearthed the truth Tour band David Bowie - vocals Reeves Gabrels - guitar Carlos Alomar - guitar Gail Ann Dorsey - bass guitar, vocals Zack Alford - drums Mike Garson - piano Peter Schwartz - synthesizer, musical director George Simms - backing vocals, keyboards What a line up. All renowned musicians in the industry. These were the musicians that backed him on The Outside Tour which opened on 14th September 1995( the album was released on 25th Sept) This was the band that appeared on The Jools Holland Show, and played an absolute stunning live version of Spaceboy. Thanks again Degs for the education  |

I saw him on that tour
I know it's stating the bleedin' obvious but it's only this week that makes you realise that Bowie was surely the greatest for getting such geniuses to work with him Robert Fripp Carlos Alomar Adrian Belew Eno Tony Visconti Mick Ronson Rick Wakemen Gail Ann Dorsey Nile Rodgers Luther Vandross ...just |
