David Bowie

That's right! The name escaped me.

I don't know if it's been put to rest or not, but here's the best explanation that I've read of Bowie's "Hitler Sympathies".

Thanks for posting that. It was something similar I read in an interview with Bowie. I don't believe he was a Nazi supporter at any time, but as I said in a previous post, that he was fascinated with certain aspects of German history. This puts it much more eloquently than I could!

His version of "The Little Drummer Boy," a duet with Bing Crosby, is on a Martha Stewart Holiday Entertaining CD. Odd bedfellows, all three of them.

I love his duet with Bing Crosby on Little Drummer Boy. It's my favorite Christmas carol and that's my favorite version.

For a humorous take on David Bowie, particularly the early Ziggy Stardust years, you should listen to Flight of the Conchords' song "Bowie". Absolutely hysterical! This is just a bit of it:

Receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antennae. Do you read me, Lieutenant Bowie?

This is Bowie to Bowie, do you hear me out there man?
This is Bowie back to Bowie I read you loud and clear, man.
Oooh yeah man!
Your signal is weak on my radar screen. How far out are you man?
I'm pretty far out
That's pretty far out man
I'm orbiting Pluto!
Drawn in by its grooveatational (grooveatational) pull
I'm jamming out with the Mick Jaggernauts
And they think it's pretty cool, man.

They do great takes on his vocal styles.

LOL

Where can I get a listen? Any sound clips?

I love the new commercial out with him simply because it features "I Am a DJ", one of my favorites. I noticed he is starting to show his age now. It's weird to see a slightly plump Bowie.

whitefalcon, I PM'd you with a link to the song.

I also noticed that Bowie has filled out a little recently. He still looks great, though.

Got it, thanks so much.

Yes, he still looks GREAT. Must be the bone structure (and money helps too)
