Our Bowie experiences are quite similar.<BR/><BR/>Although, I remember Bowie back in his old 'drag' days, which, as a youngster, I found to be a bit shocking.<BR/><BR/>I would pretty much forget about him until I saw Ashes to Ashes (but not until '82 when we moved to Brainerd and had the old satellite dish and MTV in it's early and far more interesting formative years).<BR/><BR/>I was absolutely mesmerized by this video. Didn't know what the hell it meant, or if it had any one particular meaning or message. The melody and imagery had an impact though. It put me into a fascinating state of mind.<BR/><BR/>I became quite a Bowie fan at that point, buying his greatest hits on cassette tape and listening to it every day in college, when I should have been studying Bach and Brahms (I was a music major). <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I was more than disappointed when Bowie got all 'cleaned up' and Let's Dance came out. Yuck. That was pretty much the end of Bowie as a musician as far as I was concerned. I still get nauseous thinking about that album.<BR/><BR/>"Put on your red shoea and dance the blues".
