@privateye9111 I know people that like him for his looks, his music, his writing and his acting. Please don't bring us down to the level of Biebs. Thanks a lot.
I dont want to cause an uproar but as far as David Bowies work goes i dont much care for this. Just another opinion tallied, whatever... Great musician though!
everyone in LA knows what a loser and freak ABS is. Even his own flesh and blood called him out in the press talkin about what a loser he is. did you see the mothers day card ABS sent around the internet? Lawd, have mercy that card is freaky and wierd. like anyone would beleive he cares for anyone but himself.
Quincy, good for you for keepin it real and kudos to your mom and dad Puffy , for doing a great job raising you. much love.
This is a very interesting, yet under-rated period of David Bowie's career. This was the early 90's when he was coming off his very successful stint as a pop super star. He started getting back some of his credibility as an artist with "Black Tie/White Noise. The arrangement and production on this song is stunning, and Bowie's voice here is top drawer!
Oh I tolerate the retarded who were born that way, not the people suffering from self-inflicted retardation! People that let prejudice cloud their mind to the point that they can't have a rational thought!
My previous comment was just my way to tell you that i think using the word "retarded" in that particular context or using the word "nigger" in general is both wrong...but of course no hard feelings. :) The people who use the word nigger aren't necessarily doing it out of prejudice. Some need to think before they realise well enough that others are offended or hurt by it.
I must say I disagree. I think Droyd21 came across as a pedantic twat and his comment was surely intended as a petty attempt to discredit your initial comment.
It's not about being pedantic, it's about respecting that others may find certain words offensive depending on their background. Why hurt someones feelings if you can avoid it?
funnily, I'll never get it, how the word 'nigger' is offensive. In my language it has always ment a person with dark skin and nothing more. Saying a black person would be rather weird. Thank god I'm always really aware of what I say in English! :D
In my non english slang we have a variant of the word nigger which (in most cases!) also refers to a black person. However, I do my best not to use it in public, since people who don't speak my slang may take it the wrong way.
FYI: the person that bowie sings with in this song is R&B singer Al B. Sure. He was a relatively sucessful singer during the late 80s-Early-to-mid 90s.
Sure performed the "New Jack Swing" style of R&B, that mixed elements of hip-hop,which was also done by bobby Brown, Guy, and ither artists during that time period.
I didnt 100% like this CD but songs like "Jump they say" was so powerful. I found Black Tie White Noise to sound more like a filler song for an album. It was sort of plastic sounding. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree but I found it flat. Most my friends hated Bowie in the early 90's. They liked Grunge, Rap, and Seattle Alternative bands. All of which I hated. I was still stuck in the 80's. Groups like Tin Machine was Bowies coolest stuff but all my friends seemed to hate Bowies 90s stuff.
Black Tie White Noise is one of his best albums ever together with 1.Outside,Earthling,Ziggy and trilogy ... and all others ;)This is exactly so avantguard song and yet possible to be singing in radio and stuff. 1:05 melody starts,some already switeched radio off being bored :D One of the best song for participating of that rapper behind songing together woth Bowie. Oh Loooord, oooh yeah, let them hear me....Nice and very intelectual intelligent way to express love among human races!
When this CD came out, I had no idea this song is about the L.A. Riots. I lived there when the riots occured, and it was heartbreaking. This has become 1 of my favorite bowie CD's, it's still so cool.
listen to the lyrics! Very esoteric. He is trying to tell you something!
