‘Something about me stood apart…’

‘Something about me stood apart…’ David sings on his 1999 single Thursday’s Child. Lonely at the top, Mr Bowie née Jones chats on line tonight at 6.30 GMT. [ update: and this is one of the things he’s saying right now: Has dance music culture killed rock music? David: No, rock music kills rock music. When the vocabulary of any artform gets too well known it dissapates its dynamic. Once everybody can play the e chord on a guitar, once everybody can sample what they want at home on a cheap computer, medium suddenly becomes the message and the message seems to be, This is lifestyle music not attitude music. I think we probably buy our music much in the same way as we buy our clothes now, it’s no longer the replacement to church. Amen. ]


Bowie joke: ‘Oi, Mistah Bowie, didn’t ya useta be queeor? And then ya married Iman…’
