kick it off 1,952 Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) I'm not a big Bowie fan, some of his stuff is OK though. Just here to provide a different spin on some of his songs - These are by a guy called Seu Jorge, sung entirely in Portugese and formed the majority of the soundtrack for the movie "The life aquatic" (not the best movie in the world) Edited July 23, 2020 by kick it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 5,198 Posted July 26, 2020 Did Bowie do a version of 'The Great Pretender' for Jools. Or maybe a cover of the **** Pistols 'Liar'. Could Jools be a 'Chubby little loser'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted July 26, 2020 check Jools claim on the Peter Green thread he saw Fleetwood Mac at Dartford (though they never played there when Green was in the band) and he watched John Mayall in 1967/8 ps I wonder if Jools knows the A11 has been dualled ?

Essjayess 307 Posted July 29, 2020 Annie Lennox at the Brit Awards in 2016...her eulogy for Bowie sums it up nicely. Like him, dislike him or somewhere in between...but in the music industry his legacy and works is top of the pile..nearly all major recording artists of the past few decades were influenced by him. Not only the music world, he was a pioneer of fashion, many fashion trends of the last 20 to 40 years can be traced back to Bowie. A pioneer in the world of internet to. I got to speak with him for less than 1 minute back in '73..a minute ive treasured all my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that trait, which he admitted, makes you wonder whether he sometimes put ideas out there just to see if they got recognition. For example, he said the last time he sang with his real voice was Wild is the Wind. Not sure whether he meant that or just got people thinking about his songs.

Some in the music world have (had) an ability to keep reporters hanging on their every word Oooh, Don's gonna levitate Mark E Smith kills squirrels Nobody stopped to think how a man with form for hyperbole, and not in the best of health managed to kill squirrels.

Don't forget it was also Bowie's dying wish that Jonah Joolsiani should design the coin for his memorial. Honest! Apparently he whispered something in his last breath about how there was no-one he knew who was more attuned to his drug-taking, gender-bending, open-minded, love oriented approach to the world.

They do not wish to cancel Bowie because China Girl is about the devastation of heroin abuse. If you want to know why they wish to cancel Bowie, the clue is in the title of the song.
