Bowie takes the piss - http://pitchfork.com/news/63059-hear-david-bowie-impersonate-bruce-springsteen-neil-young-iggy-pop-lou-reed-tom-waits-in-newly-unearthed-recording/

 

Back in 1985, when Bowie was recording the theme to Julian Temple's British rock musical Absolute Beginners at London's Westside Studios, he took a break, fired up a backing track, and reeled off an impressive string of musical impersonations. Among them are Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, and Anthony Newley.

 

Some of them are quite good and you can tell who they are meant to be. and a few others could just as well have had Mike Yarwood doing the impersonation.

You mean Bowie sang in the style of Harold Wilson and Ted Heath??

Could well be. Were Wilson and Heath a singing duo?

I mean the impersonations started to sound the same.

You can tell he did the Springsteen one and there just thought - you know what I'll carry on with some more. It's by far the best. The Tom Waits one is a close second.

Well, AFAIK, Wilson couldn't sing but got serviced by Porn Star Mary Millington and Lady ( Marcia Williams ) Falkender and, according to David 'Im not mad' Icke Ted Heath was part of the illuminati, an alien Lizard and, of course, did 'loads for children'

So no Righteous Brothers or summat.

His Neil Young impersonation was good, not as good as Jimmy Fallon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9adAljIaKYc

His Anthony Newley was pretty well spot on.

Now Bowie's hairdresser Teddy Antolin who introduced Bowie to Iman reportedly dead: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153228289417665

 

Suicide?

 

And more importantly: who's next? Bowie's hairdresser's plumber?

 

 

If you have a name, I'll do a search he he.

I know, right. And don't start in on the mechanic who maintained said hairdresser's plumber's Ford F-250, because that's my second cousin's stepmom's current husband after his dad died. He does have stage 3 pancreatic come to think of it.

Got any nobody cancer sufferers or college level footballers for us today? Read the article - I posted this here rather than fringes due to the possible connection to Bowie's recent death.

 

When you've stopped living in that glass house, you can pick up the rocks you like to chuck around.

Who does? Your second cousin or Bowie's hairdresser's plumber's car mechanic?

Hmm, something NEW about Bowie? I can't think of anything.

He fucked Mick Jaggar. Alls I got.

That's an old and fairly well-known rumour. Bowie's first wife Angela said that there was nothing to it, they were just two lads sharing a bed, as it used to be normal decades ago, especially in somewhat impoverished post WWII-Britain.

Well, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart used to share a bed and I don't think anyone's ever suggested there was anything in that.

So did Laurel and Hardy and Morecambe and Wise.

This wardrobe story is slightly different though. Nevertheless I see nothing to suggest that the two gentlemen involved were pleasuring each other.

I suspect that the lady received all their attentions.

Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore had twin beds though.

They did come out of the closet though...

 

 

“David, Mick and the woman were in the closet for 20 minutes and came out with big smiles.
