PART 3 : GOLDEN YEARS – THE DAVID BOWIE STORY.
Just an extra reminder to tune into the final part of ‘GOLDEN YEARS: THE DAVID BOWIE STORY’ this Saturday. This excellent series has been received well here in the UK, not least by ‘The Listener’ section of The Independent On Sunday magazine, The Sunday Review. No doubt inspired by Spaceface’s in-depth coverage of the show, The Independent last Sunday printed a generous two-page spread with highlights from the first part of The David Bowie Story.
Meanwhile, Spaceface herself created a deliberate mistake in her last piece just to see who actually reads this BowieNews section. Needless to say you were all far too polite to point out that for her picture captioned: ‘Young Americans’ sessions with Luther Vandross 1974, she neither used a picture from the Young Americans sessions or one with Luther Vandross! Everyone knows, including Spaceface, (and especially Bowie Nut Stephen King whose favourite Bowie album was the Goblin King’s masterpiece) that the picture used was in fact taken eleven years later at the recording of Underground for the Labyrinth soundtrack, and while Luther was present along with Chaka Khan and Cissy Houston he isn’t actually in the shot used.
A less deliberate mistake (one would imagine) from last week’s episode, was Carlos Alomar’s claim that ‘Footstompin’ was a Lou Reed song, when even Rednik could tell you that it was actually released by The Flares! The programme is also web-cast here so Turn on, Tune-in, and Drop-in, if you’re this way again. };-)
