Bowie has been extremely popular with the press since the Glastonbury Festival, and on that note, here is a snippet of a review of the BowieStyle book in the UK’s gay weekly mag, ‘Boyz‘:

“Not only has Bowie been an influence on a whole hostof celebrities, such as Boy George, Gary Numan andDavid Sylvian, but he still has the power to influencemany a 21st century homo.”

“If there’sone figure from the 70s who could be singled out asthe most iconic, glamorous and downright weird, youcan guarantee that David Bowie would be at the top ofmost people’s list… We love Mr Bowie here at BoyzTowers, which is why BowieStyle, by Mark Paytress andSteve Pafford, is currently sitting atop our coffeetables.”

EFestivals.co.uk has run their review of the Glastonbury Fest, and it’s a good one! Here is just a taste of the review of DB’s Glasto set:

Throughout it felt that this was a very special gig, for Bowie as well as his fans. He was clearly delighted by the reponse and, judging by peoples comments and the number of people that had stayed on for the Sunday night it was the highlight of the weekend. Bowie came to Glasto and showed what a real superstar is made of.

Here is the alternative promo for the 1984 single release
of David Bowie and The Aliens performing ‘Blue Jean‘ at
The Wag Club in London’s Soho.

Watch out for the full 21 minute version, ‘Jazzin’ For Blue
Jean‘, coming soon!

The cover of London Time Out magazine features an article from David in Diary format. Spanning May 15th – June 11th, Bowie chat’s about show rehearsals, show experiences and more.

Here is an excerpt:
I also find that if I’ve been off the road for a considerable time I too have simply no recollection of what the lyrics are. For the six show promotional for the ‘hours?’ album that I did last year I took along a ring-binder, the contents religiously studied which, once placed on a strategically positioned music stand, I found I didn’t need after all as the form and words came flooding back at show time, presumably by osmosis. I shall forsake my prop this year though, if that many people can travel so far, to skid about in so much dung and mud solution then the least I can do is get the words of ‘Major Tom’ right. 

Here is the full story.
