Bowie's last great album was "Scary Monsters (and Super-creeps)", imho. Outsider only had one track on it I liked, as did Heathen Chemistry.
Props to the man though, for a terrific body of work.

1. Outside Nic, it was 'supposed' to be part one of a new Bowie/Eno trilogy. They even had a name for the second album: 2. Contamination.
It's been a while now...

'Earthling' was a piece of art, IMO...

just thought you might be interested in this bit from The Rocking Vicar's latest Missive to the Massive:
THE DAME AT 60
The Vicarage phone has been ringing off the hook this last week with requests from broadcasters for comment on the 60th birthday of David Bowie. It shames us to say that in the face of the avalanche of lionising prose, we have been compiling our alternative tribute – a list of the events and examples of behaviour that make David Bowie's career uniquely rich in embarrassments and agonising examples of trying that bit too hard. Here are a few:
* Being interviewed by Cliff Michelmore at the age of 17 as the representative of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long Haired Men
* The miming
* The half hour drum solo during the Station To Station tour
* The Dancing In The Street video.
* That Brecht thing on BBC TV. What was that all about?
* Promising that the songs on the Sound & Vision tour would be picked by popular vote and then abandoning the idea as soon as everyone voted for The Laughing Gnome
* That odd business at Victoria Station. Yes, Victoria Station.
* Reciting the Lord's Prayer at the Freddie Mercury concert
* You can probably add your own here

You can blame a large part of this on drugs : the endless drums solo, the Bertolt "Wow ! Look mammy, I'm an artist !" Brecht performance, the Victoria "I'm being so post-modern right now !" Station incident...
The rest you can blame on youth, the 80s, or Canada.
BTW you forgot Peter and the wolf.

A bit late, but still a very happy birthday to David Bowie!
One of thé most influential cats around and a backcatalogue to kill for
A few years ago I went to the huge Werchter festival (something I wouldn't do before) to see Bowie on stage for the first time.
A week before the gig he cancelled it, because he needed surgery of some kind...
so now I'm waiting for the next one to arrive
Wild is the wind...

One of the finest gigs I've been to was the Ziggy tour in '72.
Travelled from Morecambe to Manchester, missed the last coach home and spent the night sleeping on a bench (bloody cold too).
Trouble was I was working in a hotel as a waiter and was supposed to be on breakfasts the following day, when I eventually got back to work in the afternoon I had been sacked.
