Happy Birthday!
David Bowie Turns 60 Today.
It's hard to say anything about Bowie that hasn't already been said, but his influence on music is incalculable as is his influence on me: I named my blog after one of his songs, after all.
I caught a segment of NPR's "Fresh Air" yesterday morning in which they ran (in homage to his 60th) a 2002 interview with him conducted by Terry Gross. Bowie said (surprisingly to me) that he would just rather write and compose music instead of go on stage, tour and do all the performance, making it quite clear that he considers the performativity of his music (not the creativity) drudgery.
and he's still hot, too. i think we were right, he is an alien...

Well-hung and snow-white tan
Happy Belated Birthday to one of my Forever-Heroes.
One of the most amazing things I've seen is DA Pennebaker's Ziggy Stardust, and everytime, I want to extend my arms and go "I'm an alligator!".
