You made me forget myself…
We posted a picture from a dinner in honour of Lou Reed at the W New York – Union Square, (04.27.2007 NEWS: DB ATTENDS DINNER IN HONOUR OF LOU REED) for the first of our random picture contests last month. (05.30.2007 NEWS: WIN SIGNED ITEM IN FIRST RANDOM PICTURE CONTEST)
For the contest we asked you to identify the four people around the table in the picture we posted and to tell us what recording unites all four of them.
Well, 99% of you identified them as Bono, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson and David Bowie and you went on to correctly state that they all appeared on the BBC’s 1997 Perfect Day recording in aid of the Children in Need fund.
The winner gets a copy of the above CD (without the flashing red boxes) personalised by David Bowie himself.
If the winner would like to contact me with details of how they want their CD personalised, (i.e., real name or BowieNet user name) we’ll get the wheels in motion ASAP.
I suppose you want to know you are, dear winner? Well, you go by the BowieNet user name of skyline.
