‘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. ]
