This silly "Audio Preview" thing is messing me up big time. I've replied to so many comments and then hit next page or clicked on another icon without realziing that I was only hitting "Audio Preview" and not "Post Comment". LOL The Audio voice is rather primitive and crude. My text to speach reader uses natural voices. You thoink that YouTube would get with modern times and use a better txt to speech voice.
Bowies self titled albums from the early 90's were cool. I liked it when he did the project Tin Machine. However I couldn't figure out why all of my friends seemed to dislike or even hate Bowies late 80's early 90's stuff. They all seemed to stop listening to him. I loved a lot of his early 90's stuff. Everyone I knew started listening to rap crap, and that god awfule grunge stuff. I listened to Bowies 90s stuff in private because my friends who yell at me to change it. I was a closet Bowie fan.
It is a sad reality that a deep divide exists between fans of Bowie in the 70s and fans of everything Bowie did after that. I grew up in the 80s, so I didn't even know about Ziggy Stardust until the late 90s. And I enjoy pretty much all of Bowie's work, although I freely admit the records from the 80s and 90s [and today] are my favourites.
I wish the divide did not exist at all. But that's nearly always the case with musicians who span decades.
I was like that as a teen in the 80's I loved his modern 80s stuff but when I asked a Record Store Clerk for ideas on what to listen to he gave me some of Bowies older stuff from the 70's. At first I didn't realize Bowie was around that long so I didn' believe it was the same Bowie (haha I was young). Anyway, when I brought back the tape the next day and told the clerk it was "crap" he got upset with me... continuted...
...cont... He was an older Hippie Dude who loved Bowies older stuff and I was a New Wave / Alternative Rock kid who loved Bowies newer stuff. He thought that Bowies new stuff was crap and I thought Bowies 70s stuff was crap. LOL By the late 80's early 90's I enjoyed both his 70s stuff and 80s stuff. I liked his late 60s stuff too as I got older. I remember the old clerk guy ranting at me about my music being crap so it actually made me hate 70s stuff even more. He didn't make a good arguement.
It is sad especially when you realise that Bowie is who he is because he is ever changing with ever changing tastes. To think of Bowie as being of one particular time or style is to miss the point of his music altogether.
Man. Black Tie White Noise was by far his most out there album. Great stuff, but dammmmmn, it was so utterly different from absolutely anything he did.
If what I read is correct, this album was his wedding present to Iman. When you hear that and then go back and listen to the album, it kind of takes on a different life.
damn. I wish someone would give me apresent of that proportion. "Oh instead of buying me that Lou Reed album you asked for I actually called him up and he made a new album for you"
It is a great album. I remember it took me months to realize just how great it is. Now it is in my top-5 Bowie albums. I remember reading an interview with Bowie (in Rolling Stone I think) prior to its release that he did not think he had reached this artistic level before.
Almost sounds like something from "Labyrinth", don't it...? Not a great favorite of mine, but, as always, brimming with that unique Bowie-tres-cool vibe.
yeh, it was announced in the early 80's that bowie would play buster keaton in a biopic, but it didnt materialize. this video offers the only quick glimpse of bowie as keaton.
I love him in the black and white costume, when he says knock on the door and does it at the same time. It's just really funny. I want those gloves by the way. Love the song, love the video
I started to say maybe it was a reference to Madonna, but Madonna's Cowboy hat phase was many years after this, I think. Maybe Madonna got the idea for her Cowboy phase from this video.
As the red-head in the "Boys Keep Swinging" video, I always thought he looked a lot like Katherine Hepburne. In some shots here, the resemblance to KH is even more uncanny! He is totally wicked in that pin-stripe suit! Great Video! Thanks for posting!
At first, I thought you were being sarcastic, but on rewatching the video, you are right! They do look like Buster Keaton, and I think that is deliberate. The silent film character starting at 2:37 to 2:54, looks like Bowie making an overt allusion to Buster Keaton's silent-era persona! Great observation.
I'm sure it's deliberate. Did a Google search on "miracle goodnight" and "buster keaton", and it came out that the comic interlude does reference B.K. explicitly. The Katherine Hepburn impression is uncanny.

It used to be on youtube, and then it was taken off and I was so sad because I like this version of the video better than the with David just sitting and singing this song.
this is such a creative video.. I love it so much!
(except for the talking roman busts which I find slightly horrifying.)
It's true. It was so great when the video appeared a few months back and everyone was grateful that we didn't have to look at hottie dancing anymore and I added it to my bebo etc and just as quickly it was gone. I hate when that happens. I expect youtube links to be there forever.
David Fucking Bowie <3

Mr. Bowie's a genius.
Now, if only he hadn't included that scantily clad cowgirl...then maybe I'd be able to recommend this to a few friends.
