í beg nobody's pardon for the insertion of a little Bowie/Canine/Herb Ritts Frink...

David Bowie and dog, Herb Ritts, December 1989.jpg

The only serious rival to Morrissey's position as Greatest Male Hairdo in the World in the years 1988~1991 was the Dame.

And here is Bowie striking an Elvis pose, by Herb Ritts again, Los Angeles, CA, 1987 ~

Great photo, think he was singing Burning Love when this was taken, right? :p
Ugh, I wish! Can you imagine?

Have to admit I'm not very fond of You'll Be Gone...
 
agree. But we both know why he likes it, and that’s good enough for me.

How if next tour he does a bit of Ganglord that segues into In The Ghetto?

:pray::)
I blame Priscilla.

He did a short a capella bit of Wooden Heart in Cologne last March, except he sang "wooden head" instead. :lbf:

And it's intentional, right? There's no way anyone can forget the lyrics accidentally. :lbf:
Yes, definitely intentional. The way he emphasised the "head" made that very clear.
 
Some Moz/Bowie cross-over-pollination Frink ~

Alas, Smith & Jones...

I'd never seen this!


It really would have made perfect sense in a way and he was into the idea for quite a while. I know I keep going on about it but I really believe that his Eurovision obsession (which peaked in 2006/07) has influenced him a lot, especially on World Peace.

It's probably still a good thing he never competed, he would have been disappointed that it's not like this anymore:

I'd agree - there's a definite Euro-ballad feel to a lot of the tracks on World Peace.

I love that almost-mohawk-cut he had going on in '84.

I predict a mullet-mohawk combo
for the 2021 shows. It’s the only move that would make sense these days.


:pray:
The Mozhawk - the only thing that can save us in 2021. :pray:
