No, I won’t do Subterranean Homesick Blues, now clear off!
I wrote a song for you…
I fully expected to find this month’s Q Bowie picture (04/11/01 NEWS: THIS MONTH’S BOWIE PICTURE IN Q) within the pages of aforementioned questionnaire, but alas, ’twas not to be. A few pages later though, there he was, in a Bob Dylan birthday special that made no real mention of David, but nevertheless reproduced a mono shot from 1985 of our man with Mr Zimmerman himself.
Even further on in the mag, next to a full page advert for ‘Substitute – The Songs Of The Who’, is a review of the album from which these words are lifted:
“David Bowie, doing something from his own era rather than pretending to be a teenager…adds glistening cadence to Pictures of Lily.”
There ya go. Haven’t I always said that Bowie’s the man for glistening cadence just when you need it!?
