Not sure about the quiet news day, but sure a subdued one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUflIrTSwK8Yesterday I was hoping for Adam news on a new Monday morning, but not now. Music news air waves are The Duke's right now, of course. I am shocked. Was listening and watching to the Lazarus video just this weekend, thinking how a man, who for his younger years enjoyed and played up his good looks, then withdrew from public view, especially when his beauty was waning, and who now, in this latest video overcame any possible vanity and publicly stood by the stark looks of old age and put himself back on display; and here we find out, that clearly he knew what lay ahead and sent this video as a parting message - 'Look up here, I'm in Heaven' www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8 |

There was a show called the Midnight Special back in the early 70's. It was on every Friday night! I will never forget the night Bowie was on. He blew my mind with his live performance. Yes, it was live and uncensored and fabulous! That was my introduction to Bowie and I've been a fan ever since! Sorry Adam never got the chance to meet him but he is working with musicians who have. One degree of separation!!!  Like this one? www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgRcmF6QWgs |

Blackstar reminds me of a requiem; Mozart's "Don Giovanni?" Elton's "Candle in the Wind?"
On another note (see what I did there?), how lovely that our articulate Adam is being quoted. Karma. Just like Adam breaking through to become top $ idol in this its last season, when the media in its crassness can finally relate to this aspect of Adam, since $ equals success in today's world. Adam moves through his creative space with an oscillating, but unerring trajectory.

Qucikly came back to just say how devastated I am. This is up there with Freddie and eerily similar. Both stopped touring...and both took some time and then worked a lot again towards the very end.
I also held Bowie up as a benchmark of what Freddie could have done if he had the extra 25 years....both had amazingly creative 70s periods, cocaine fueled 80s pop moments that were sometimes less than artistic and then right at the end freddie started recapturing his art form (the Innuendo album) and Bowie did as well with Outside, etc. Bowie then went on to do some of his most creative work again...and I thought Freddie really could have recaptured that and given some great treasures.
I'm glad Bowie had his time to recapture it as he certainly went out on top. I've been playing Blackstar non stop since Friday....
I saw someone posted Brian's twitter...
Here was Roger's comments:
David Bowie: The cleverest and most interestingly brilliant man of our time. What a vacuum he leaves, and how he will be missed. Roger

www.out.com/entertainment/music/2013/03/12/my-bowie-adam-lambertMy Bowie: Adam Lambert Beware of the Diamond Dogs.BY ADAM LAMBERTMON, 2016-01-11 08:32 Photograph by Steve Shapiro My father is a huge Bowie fan, and about the time I first got interested in what he was listening to, he pulled out the Diamond Dogs album. The cover was just so cool and trippy and weird. At that point I was really into Halloween and costumes, and when my dad played me the album, I thought, Oh, it’s a Halloween thing. I was maybe 8 or 9, but I didn’t really start appreciating Bowie for myself until my early twenties, when I was getting into glam rock. A light bulb went off—I wasn’t into drag, I didn’t want to dress like a woman, but I wanted to express my gender and artistic identity differently than the mainstream. Bowie was a key inspiration. It was about the androgyny of mixing it up, and that was what was so incredible about his concepts -- he was one of the first rock stars to really push the idea that sexuality was not black and white but an exploration. Later, when he finally made his big American breakthrough in the ’80s working with Nile Rodgers on Let’s Dance, his image shifted to a more masculine sensibility. Considering how far he had pushed it the decade previous, however, it gave his masculinity an edgy and mysterious undercurrent. I actually love Young Americans so much because it was the album where he jumped into Philly soul and it got very funky and rhythmic; to hear someone with his sensibility going to that place is really inspiring. WATCH: David Bowie perform 'Young Americans' live on the Dick Cavett Show in 1974 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFudBQcplj4 Beautifully said, Adam. You and David would have been a magnificent match onstage, even for one single performance. It's a shame that it will never happen. All I can say is, Adam, NEVER lose your edge. Styles and genres may shift and change, but NEVER EVER lose your own personal edge. It's what makes you stand apart. |
