Shame it got taken down so fast. I do have a soft spot for Ziggy Stardust, though its rendition of glam does seem to fall along the splits of the "heavy metal" of MWSTW and the vaudevillian pop of Hunky Dory so not such a radical proposition after all. Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs are fun, but it is those conceptual parts that are the most skipworthy now.<br /><br /><br />Weird to place this in a specific timeframe. I was around 18 when this came out and recall the idea of internet revolutionizing culture to be not so radical by then, even on dial up modems in Upstate NY so Paxman's flustered looks are bizarre. Plus- my take on this may not be so keen since I didn't really live through it- wasn't Cool Britannia pretty over by '99/2000 or so? It's like someone from the not too distant future being interviewed by someone from the recent past. Delightfully incongruous.

Very good interview. My favorite parts:<br /><br />1) Talking about having to shed all the characters and theatrical contrivances for the sake of getting down to writing songs. Striking to hear him admit that, because I've long felt the concept-album years -- what made him famous, of course -- is the part of his 70s output that I'm kinda so-so about (despite its share of great tunes). And his own admission pretty much nails the reason I'd always felt that way.<br /><br />2) Quite a fascinating, and surprisingly sharp, breakdown of where music was heading at the time -- the bit about rave culture, and music becoming more about about niche audiences in the '90s & whatnot. Incredibly observant.<br /><br />3) Some of his comments about the internet are deeply McLuhan-esque. But watching the perplexed looks that cross Jeremy Paxman's face while Bowie launches into his analysis are hilarious. <br /><br />4) <br />Q: What do you make of 'Cool Britiannia'? <br />A: Ohh, lumpen! It's so cliche'd and silly. ...I think [the idea's] helped the media get a handle on these times, but I don't think anybody anywhere else believes it."<br /><br />Priceless bit of "bah", that.

I’m writing to beg your generosity to let me run The Fawn in the Burning Forest: Our Beloved Monster in an anthology I’m putting together.(no need to post this- I couldn't find an email for you.)<br /><br />I’m compiling diverse thoughts on the meaning of Michael Jackson. Your story would be a true asset. It is absolutely amazing.<br /><br />I’m embarrassed that I can’t offer my contributors payment. I fully recognize and respect your stature. But I’m putting this book together with my own resources and money as a labour of love, and it doesn’t hurt to ask. The book will be handsome and diverse. So far, I have amazing contributions from: a jazz archivist at the Smithsonian; a Tibetan monk; a roving editor for Christianity Today; a health care researcher on PTSD; a Congo war journalist; the host of popular Canadian breakfast show Daybreak Alberta; an Iranian journalist and more.<br /><br />I sure hope you will want to support this project by letting me use your story. It will run with your name and a bio paragraph with whatever you would like to mention about yourself.<br /><br />I invite you to visit me at thegirlcanwrite.net to see if you like my spirit and my style.<br /><br />Many blessings,<br />Lorette <br /><br />thegirlcanwrite@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
