Brilliant

[Steve Boykin]

Was reliving my childhood this weekend musically with a big David Bowie festival. I remember skipping high school to watch this. Love this song.

Bowie fan here too, Steve. Saw the Aladdin Sane tour when it came to Dundee - I was 14. Blew me away, as you might imagine. I've not followed everything he has done since then, but loved Diamond Dogs a lot. Bought it again recently after seeing the Bowie exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Heroes is another great album. But for me Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane will always be special.

I've always felt Diamond Dogs was a bit underrated. I think Candidate-Sweet Thing-Candidate (reprise) is one of my favorite Bowie songs. I LOVE Aladdin Sane. Especially the title track and Panic in Detroit. I think he kinda just lost interest after Scary Monsters. That said his newest record is very good. Probably his best since Scary Monsters.

Alas, poor Lou Reed...not a perfect day.

Yeah I just read that. Great song. One of Reeds best.

Yes, a sad day indeed.

Thanks for the link though Steve. I'd not seen that before.
