The scene: Driving home with Dopple-G, listening to some Christmas carols on the radio.
Dopple-G: Who's singing this one?
Me: Tammy Wynette.
Dopple-G: Really?
Me: Sounds like her
A new singer takes the next verse. It's a dreaded multi-singer carol.
Dopple-G: I hate when they do that. A song should have one singer.
Me: Unless it's a chorus.
Dopple-G: Yeah, like the Vienna Boys Choir. They rock.
Me: Or if it's meant to be a duet.
Dopple-G: Like what?
Me: That medley one...Little Drummer Boy.
Dopple-G: Little Drummer Boy isn't a medley.
Me: You know the one I mean. With Bing Crosby and whats-his-name. That gay guy, Commander Tom.
Dopple-G: That gay guy, Commander Tom?
Me: David Bowie.
Dopple-G: I know, I just never heard him described as "that gay guy, Commander Tom".
Me: But you knew exactly who I was thinking of, didn't you?
Dopple-G: Harumph.
Let it be known far and wide that from this point forward David Bowie shall forevermore be known as "That gay guy, Commander Tom".
Or should that be "Sir gay guy, Commander Tom"? It's hard to keep track of which has-been rockers have been knighted.
EASY!!!! Some of us out here like that gay guy, commander tom.
Bowie rules!!!
Oh, I like some of his old stuff too. In fact "Commander Tom" is one of my all time favorites. I thought he was great in Labrynth too. But let's face it, Clancy, he hasn't done anything worthwhile in many a year. Many, many, many a year.
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues!
Did ya'all know that Bowie was the number One hit singer of the 70's drug-scene in Berlin?Also (so they say) resposible (as where other singers like Jagger and some other wierdos from back-then) for the death of the youngest drug victim (14years I believe)in German history.Her name was "Christiane F.".Ironically,in the movie about her,Bowie's music plays a major role.
So,I was tought (in school)...Bowie(and the others) was evil.What the hell where they thinking??????????He was COOL (anyways,just simply because they said he was not hehehe).
My fiance loves Bowie. I only just like him. But he is still making music, he just seems to make music that's still five years ahead of it's time. By the time the world catches up, he's on to something else.
We were going to see him just before Christmas, but he got the flu and canceled. Now it's on for sometime around the end of January.
Anyway - I just had to pull your leg some. You can make fun of all the music you want to, just as long as you leave the good stuff alone. As Duke Ellington once said - “There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind.”
Bite your tongue. In the last five years, Bowie has put together several albums that more than match up to anything considered more 'current'. 'Heathen' is freakin' genius, especially considering it was entirely written and recorded pre-9/11.
