... just AGE so damn well!!

Wild this first clip is from BING CROSBY show from 1977, and then (if accurate) this follow-up from 2002, of the same song! Dag!!

The wonderful thing to me about Bowie, IS... well, I was in high school when his first hits came out, and the straight boys loved him - even though he was wearing make up and so adrogynous looking, and "moving" unlike the traditional male rocker or pop artist (yes, whatever that means?), etc...

AND, in a little Peyton Place like town. I was impressed!

Little Richard also wore the make-up and was WILDLY ahead of his time, as I feel the original one for being daring this way... back in the 50's!

And then we heard, of course, that Jagger and Bowie slept together. Yes, the times, they were a changin'... (I'm not stating this as FACT, no one get upset please... but, this is pretty well documented that they were caught together in bed by one of their girlfriends at the time. Cool.)

Thank you David!! And how 'bout Bing here? I hope he didn't go home and smack his son around after this episode. (Remember, we heard from the son that "Dad" was a bit heavy handed - after our fond memories of "White Christmas" and all... Kind of like Mommie Dearest I guess.)

The theme to the film (Peyton Place) is gorgeous. I have 80 years of music and that's one of them from collection my film themes and music 1930-1970s

It IS a beautiful song, I agree! Post it here Jet... if you are able or want to.

It is such a good classic movie too!

PEACE

The version I have by the Prague Philharmonic isn't available on YouTube. I did find this version as a score to shots of Maine. It's beautiful, but just a little slower and takes a bit longer to get into the melody.

... this is one of my favorite Bowie songs. I just think it's beautiful... although obviously political.

However, I feel this is one of the most politically important songs of his... initially - that captivated the general masses:

(BUT THEN, REBEL REBEL is very relevant too, as he sings, your mother is "not sure if you're a girl or a boy"! I love that!! (My mother certainly wasn't sure!)
__

And then... I like this song - not sure totally why... I think that David used stage presence brilliantly from the "get-go" of his career, and then when MTV and VH1 came along - he really took off so well with it! It showed such a different part of the artist for some music performers. (Remember the "early" MTV videos were just the band standing there and performing. Now, we got to see what "they" meant by their song... or wanted us to think anyway.)

*OK, goodnight David Bowie. Again, thank you. And sorry, TOO many good songs of yours to post here! Space Oddity, stunningly excellent!! Oh, hell, let me add that too!! WAY ahead of it's time!! (IMHO)

(OK, and another version of David's with this song - way before MTV even began... for the curious and artistic/musically historical of minds.)

This last song is 1969 folks! Amazing to me.

Some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
And for them I would not disagree
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe
I say fate should not tempt me.

I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote
I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat
He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check
I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette

I take my chances,
Forgiveness doesn't come with a debt

I would like to reach out my hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run
You know what they say about the young
Well pick me up with golden hands
Oh may see you,
Oh may tell you to run
You know what they say about the young...

Who's that calling?
Who's that who can show the way?
The child inside,
It's the child who lives still in your eyes.

Who's that dancing?
Laughing, crying, living every day by day by day by day?
