RIP....saw him almost 30 years ago in concert. Quite the showman
(http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--9n7bMnRD--/faitaocglz4hcbhcupoj.gif)
One of the voices of my generation.
Saw him at the Hartford Civic Center on The Sound and Vision Tour back in 1990.
What a performance!

RIP Ziggy.
Such an amazing artist. He will be missed.
Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
Two of my favorite musicians: David Bowie and Sakamoto Ryuchi
Fabulous sound track

"Keep your lectric eye on me babe, Put a ray gun to my head, Press your space face close to mine love..Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah" Moonage Daydream, 1972
Bowie was a rock icon who had so many songs that just had a certain cultural aspect to them. The first time I heard the opening guitar riffs of "Suffragette City", I was hooked and had to learn how to play a guitar. Bowie was blessed to have a guitar player named Mick Ronson in his band, who co-engineered all of his recordings.
That was a long time ago, and have been playing since and many of his songs have been put thru these fingers.
For you youngsters, go to a site and listen to the full album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars", circa 1972. This is a genius album which was followed by "Aladdin Sane" and "Diamond Dogs". Three albums that can match up against anyones.
"As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent, you asked for the latest party".....Diamond Dogs.
Bowie got tied up in the funk culture with his hits "Fame" (which John Lennon co-wrote), "Fashion" and "Golden Years", good songs and commercial hits, but not like the early stuff.
When you heard the beginning of the songs, like "Suffragette", "Diamond Dogs", "Rebel, Rebel" (which Bowie actually played the opening riff, "Changes", "The Jean Genie", "Panic in Detroit" and yes even the most commercial Bowie song "Space Oddity", you were hooked.
There are probably 25 other hits, but most of you know them. A rock legend and RIP.
Ziggy played guitarrrrrrrr........
He also took Mott the Hoople off of life support in 1972 with All the Young Dudes, mentored The Stooges and Iggy Pop and probably contributed as much or more to Lou Reed's Transformer LP than Lou did.
I'll be ever grateful for him helping launch Stevie Ray Vaughn's career.

SRV played lead guitar on Bowie's "Let's Dance" album. I remember the video of the title song, Bowie with guitar in hand while Stevie's solo plays.

actually half the credit should go to Jackson Browne, they both saw him at Montreux, Bowie had him guest and Browne gave him studio time to record his own material

Best band to come out of Los Angeles ever, in my opinion. Beach Boys, Van Halen, Metalica, Gun's n Roses, Doors are all up there from So. Cal, but hard to argue with the Eagles staying power.

Yes indeed. For those interested, there are various internet sites (guess wiki and others) that reflect how the band was formed. Connections with Linda Rondstadt, Andrew Gold, Jackson Browne and others all being close friends in the area.
Glen Frey was an avid golfer and each year he performed for charity at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, which is in a few weeks. Hope they do some recognition for him on TV coverage. RIP

I suspect AT&T will do something very nice in that regards.
Damn, loved the Eagles since I was a little kid. The HBO doc "History of the Eagles" is outstanding and a must watch. Glenn Fry was kind of a dick as a person(so is Don Henley) but they are responsible for some tremendous music and spawned an entirely new genre of music.
RIP Glenn

Especially since none of the members - original or otherwise - came from LA.

I did read that he died yesterday, as that is when the articles came out. Did not realize he died a year earlier. Not sure whom I would be trying to impress exactly. I rarely use Twitter, certainly use Facebook.

The only time I have been to a strip club (er, one that featured women, that is) was in 1986 in St. Joseph, Mo. The first "girl" on the stage was about 40 pounds overweight, had a huge cesarean scar across her belly, and appeared to be about 35 - and I am talking a rough Avery-family-type 35. Oh, and she danced to the song, "Like a Virgin".
Never again.

Believe me, when you are on a multiple-week business trip in St. Joe, MO, with a mixed group of twenty-somethings, you get pretty desperate for entertainment. It's the strip club and a tour of the house where Jesse James was killed.
The advertising sign for the Jesse James house said, "See the bullet hole!" We had no idea they meant this:

In all of the internet is there another Bowie tribute thread that turned into a strip club discussion? Priceless! and I like to think he'd find it funny too.
Count me in on the 'anti Eagles' front! I understand how people like them but they rub me the wrong way. Joe Walsh gets a pass for being awesome with the Jame's Gang and his solo work.

Yup, probably 90% of the time. The rest he does in New York or LA at DIRECTV studios. Rich Eisen does his daily show from DIRECTV right on the campus. Employees can basically watch like they would the Today show on NBC at Rockefeller.

Arts is the only place I've known that's had a performer with a prosthetic leg. I'm sure it's an impressive feat but sure it's what the crowd is expecting going in.
