Probably my favourite album ever and now 50 years old. Happy Birthday Hunky Dory - a great article here.... ‘Oh, You Pretty Thing’: David Bowie’s Glam Masterpiece ‘Hunky Dory’ Turns 50
David Bowie’s Hunky Dory is self-conscious about artifice and image. It maintains a resounding undercurrent of human longing for connection and recognition

Anyway have this 2018 CD single of Zeroes?
Try doing what Mr Bowie is doing with his fingers. Good luck

...i know his daughter Annie, who posted a lovely tribute to her father on her Facebook today.
Music was a huge part of their family life as her mother also had a (brief) recording/performing career in the 70s and Annie has been in bands for the last 20 years.

Moonage Daydream review – glorious, shapeshifting eulogy to David Bowie
5 starsMOONAGE DAYDREAM – Official Teaser Trailer (Universal Pictures)Brett Morgen’s Moonage Daydream is an 140-minute shapeshifting epiphany-slash-freakout leading to the revelation that, yes, we’re lovers of David Bowie and that is that. It’s a glorious celebratory montage of archive material, live performance footage, Bowie’s own experimental video art and paintings, movie and stage work and interviews with various normcore TV personalities with whom Bowie is unfailingly polite, open and charming. (There is the inevitable Dick Cavett – who deserves a documentary of his own – also Russell Harty, Valerie Singleton and Mavis Nicholson, though my one disappointment is that Morgen didn’t include the legendary 90s TV interview with Jeremy Paxman in which Bowie tried to convince Paxman that this internet invention was going to be very important.)Rest here... www.theguardian.com/film/2022/may/24/moonage-daydream-review-david-bowie-brett-morgen-cannes

At that point he was so far ahead of the curve it doesn't bear thinking about  So much great stuff to choose from through the 70's. For me, his masterpiece was "Station To Station" though, still can't go long without having to hear it again. |

I think we have about a decade of "such and such at 50" articles to look forward to from the Beeb and Uncut/Mojo, Few will deserve them in the way Ziggy does. |
