Dude should have been in movies
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The other day TL switched the radio and I said, "You don't like Billy Idol?", and TL said that didn't know it was Idol.
I was taught a lesson as I had heard that song of Modern Love and always assumed the voice was Idol as I never much paid any attention to David Bowie as his music was just odd and a weird sex deviant.
Then a month ago in listening to the radio the song Fame came on. I thought it was some Miami sound band to exercise to, but the DJ said it was David Bowie.
So while I knew "Let's Dance" was Bowie's work, the only one I have liked enough to sing, now I have discovered that I actually have liked 3 of Bowie's songs, which amazes me as honestly most of his crap is crap that people were always going wonk over.
Thing is I used to get Billy Squier confused with Billy Idol. I think that is what really was the problem with Squier's career, in that period, no one really paid attention to what the radio was saying and people heard "Billy" and got confused as to why things sounded different. Radio for those people was a problem in some songs never did get played which are played now. Sweet 16 by Idol was never given airtime no more than the 1970's version by The Cars of My Best Friend's Girl Friend. That part I do like about boomer stations now in the GENS have a good ear and allot of stuff by Ted Nugent gets playtime that never was exposed to the general public.
What the hell the appeal of the Eagles is though as that shit gets non stop airtime in loops. That is bumpkin rock and should just fade like "rock" with piano and horns in it. That odd Paul McCartney had a thing with horns and piano. He did more to kill rock than anyone other than the mood melody of that odd David Bowie.
So there you have it, three Bowie tunes I do like in Let's Dance, Fame, and Modern Love.
Nuff Said
