More Heathen Listening Parties And Stuff

TV, still undecided, at the Virgin Megastore just the other day.

Hey, that’s far out so you heard him 2!

You may be wondering why, when I used the above picture of Tony Visconti listening to ‘Heathen’ a couple of days ago, I claimed it was at Tower Records in Union Square? Anyone worth their salt knows full well it was at the Virgin Megastore. Even I know that, and I’m a European! Admittedly I only know because several thousand of you e-mailed me with news of my blunder, but now I know there ain’t no Tower in Union Square.

I do apologise for any distress my locational error may have caused, but needless to say, I received the information from a ‘higher source’…ie, David bloody Bowie! Still, only a fool would rely on a Rock God for accurate geographical information, and that is why the details below were checked by a panel of non-celebrities.

This is the latest bunch of ‘Heathen’ related events, starting as early as tomorrow!

Italy – June 1st
A local fan club is holding a ‘Heathen’ listening event at the Fnac store in Milan, via torino June 1st from 16.30 pm until 20.00 pm.
