bedlam, name me a rock star who isn't vain, and if you ask me, he had pretty good reason to be, although, if you see him in interviews during the seventies, he was actually a very soft-spoken respectful guy, even when faced with disrespectful interviewers. He's theatrical, but I'm not sure that he's any more vain than any other star of the time
oh, a huge talent voixautre, absolutely no question. it's just his affectations and forced mannerisms grate on me that's all. i worshipped him in the early 70s, absolutely idolised him - but by the 80s i kinda lost interest... not just in him, but glam in general. and don't get me started on that prancing pony who fronts the stones :)
well, the eighties were his most fallow period creatively, so everyone sort of lost interest, but his seventies output is something I could never lose interest in
Nice tune, but David looks terrible on this clip.
ReplyDeleteI think he was recovering from severe cocaine addition at the time
ReplyDeleteAh you beat me! Snorting coke. I think Frank Zappa put it best when he wrote "Cocaine Decisions". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_WgCGOWae4
ReplyDeleteInteresting video, I haven't seen it before but it's good for a video. Thanks for the share!
ReplyDeletescurfie, love the video, thanks!
ReplyDeleteRevan0357, ya, this one caught my eye as well. I was surprised Bowie was doing videos for this album
ReplyDeletehis talent is matched only by his vanity. i much prefer just to listen and not have to watch
