The Artistry of David Bowie by Bill Flannagan I was lucky enough to work with David Bowie on several TV projects. He was a great collaborator -- gracious, witty and generous. David was also a cheerleader and champion for other artists. I don't think he had a jealous bone in his body. That was David the man. Bowie the musician was the most influential figure to appear in rock music after the 1960s. Without Bowie, there would be no Lady Gaga or Nirvana, no U2 or Madonna. Bowie appeared when the standard for rock & roll credibility was authenticity. Musicians were expected to sing their diaries, to perform in the same jeans they wore off stage. Bowie did not value authenticity one bit. He knew that as soon as a performer stepped into the spotlight, he was in theatre. Why not use all of the tools and resources theatre offered? He denied his songs were about himself. Like an actor, he moved from role to role. more with photos and video www.cbsnews.com/news/the-artistry-of-david-bowie/

I saw him in concert on his Reality Tour. I have the poster framed in my living room. One of my top favourite artists. My mother was friends with a girl whose dad drove Bowies limos. So lucky mum got to ride in his limo sometimes with her friend when it wasn't being used by Bowie.

So lucky mum got to ride in his limo sometimes with her friend when it wasn't being used by Bowie. Aw ... that's very cool. Thanks for sharing. He was one of my favorites, too. Couldn't bring myself to cover his thread, so created another for Music News so we could leave this one up. |

 Flowers and tributes are placed by an art work of David Bowie, on his first death anniversary in Brixton, London, Britain, Jan. 10, 2017. David Bowie would have turned 70 on Jan. 8, 2017. He died on Jan. 10, 2016 after a battle with cancer. Photo by Facundo Arrizabalaga |

Two Unreleased Albums Hit Shops  The David Bowie vaults are gradually being opened up, with two new releases of unreleased material to emerge next month. The bad news, though, is that both are limited editions for the 10th anniversary of Record Store Day on 22 April. Cracked Actor (Live in Los Angeles 1974) is a three-album set recorded on the Philly Dogs Tour in September 1974, some material from which appeared in the famous BBC documentary Cracked Actor. The full show appears across five sides of vinyl, with the sixth featuring an etching of Bowie. The album differs from the “official” 1974 Bowie live album, David Live: there is a different band, including backing singer Luther Vandross, and a setlist that includes material recorded for The Gouster, which was finally released last year as part of the Who Can I Be Now? box set. more www.theguardian.com/music/2017/mar/10/bowie-cracked-actor-bowpromo1-record-store-day
