Apropos of nothing

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Let me preface my remarks by saying David Bowie had a great body of work and is a genius. There was an article in Rolling Stone some years back about famous meetings between different artists. When David Bowie invited John Lennon to listen to his newly recorded Young Americans album he played it over and over. As John Lennon recalled he liked it enough.

I would add when I used to hear the title song on the radio while I was driving I would always drive until it was over.

3. Watched the entire thing. Fonzie was an iconic character.

2. I ordered take out on the way home from grocery shopping a few months ago.

We got to the restaurant a few minutes early, so my wife and I sat in the car and tried to sing along to Young Americans on the radio. Great memory.

5. Songs that I would do that for (in no particular order)

California Love
Straight Outta Compton
F--- The Police
Sweet Home Alabama (yeah I know)
Diamond Dogs
Rebel Rebel
Young Americans
American Girl
I Won't Back Down
Gin N Juice
Love Is The Drug
Walk On The Wild Side
White Wedding
Rebel Yell
Luckenbach Texas
Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

Now that any song with Spotify is a voice command away I don't necessarily have to. Outside of public radio or the occasional college station, I can't listen to terrestrial radio.

8. My latest singalong in the car with David obsession:

Love the lyrics:

“Skin dance back-a-the condo
Skin heads getting to school
Beating on blacks with a baseball bat
Racism back in rule
White trash picking up Nazi flags
While you was gone, there was war
This is the west, get used to it
They put a Swastika over the door”

[Tommy Carcetti]

4. The last minute or so of "Ashes to Ashes" is as perfect as a music can get for me.

The whole song is great actually. But especially the ending. Like Lennon, I find myself listening to it over and over.

Bowie died far too young.

everyone who added to this - I'm saving this for a day when I have time to listen to all of these songs!
