...Bowie was revered as a Gawd by the trendiest chic-est Hipsters - & was neck & neck w/ McCartney for richest Rawker (unitl Bono's Apple stock)
- but he never forgot he was a boho freak: he didn't get Huge until years into his career. He was the epitome of the British Art School (or @ least Art Class - Peter Frampton's dad his teacher in fact) Rawker...Nearly a Buddhist Monk &tc. ...a Mime...
  9:48pm
JakeGould:

To be fair, the 1990s Bowie I could never get into. I just respect his pre-1980s stuff and “Let’s Dance” was what brought him to me as a teen in the 1980s.

Indeed! He had a presence that none of the MTV herd had. The "Let's Dance" video was an amazing political statement and a catchy as hell song. And agreed, sound & vision - you can't get more simplistic, yet visceral - calculated, but sincere.

@RevolutionRabbitNov63: David Bowie sang that lyric about Uncle Floyd thanks to John Lennon who introduced Bowie to Uncle Floyd back in the day. They BOTH watched U68 and know who Oogie and Mugsy are. nj1015.com...

He was one of the great bandleaders, among his multitude of attributes. Adrian Belew wrote about how Bowie kind of took him from Zappa (no love lost then Frank to David, 'pparently)...

dB from Oakland:

I have a "Rarities" disk with the German version of Heroes ("Helden"). I picked it up in London when I was maybe 13, on a family trip. The vinyl was very floppy. It had some other cool stuff on it.
  10:14pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

Revoluation Rabbit--did you read that bit that Belew wrote this week about the dinner he had with Bowie and Zappa? Terrific. Zappa knew Bowie was stealing Belew and Zappa kept calling Bowie "Captain Tom" with a two word prefix that was not happy birthday
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:15pm

Speaking of musicians who worked with Bowie, I have to put a vote in for bassist George Murray. Man, he was great. What about the bass line in Ashes to Ashes? I mean, really.

Zackly that. He had no problem Belew finishing his tour - but not good enuff for Zappa, I guess...

I missed the beginning of the show, so I apologize if this was mentioned on air. If you haven't seen it yet, the Tony Visconti interview in the coming Rolling Stone (and now on the RS site) isn't an easy ready, as he talks about his final interactions with David and his deathbed demos right up to the end.

Thurston Moore: ...'It brings to mind Bowie's early connection with Buddhist philosophy, practice and meditation, studying with Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Lama Chime RInpoche.
