Hoople and Bowie were my first loves as a teenager in the Seventies they were Gods.<br /><br />Bowie's contradictions and lack of recognition of his collaborators (particularly Mick Ronson) are irritating but the decade you are covering is a period when he outshone everyone.<br /><br />Compare Hunky Dory to Scary Monsters and it's like two different worlds.<br /><br />He seemed knackered at the end of the decade, the constant expectation of creativeness seemed to have worn him out.Anything Should Happenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593722184088140203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172477654128505530.post-28914944107681702662011-04-17T02:57:36.834-07:002011-04-17T02:57:36.834-07:00That's interesting that you mention that Bowie...That's interesting that you mention that Bowie listened a lot to that album! When I heard one of the bonus track from Scary Monsters, I can't remember which song, I have a more recent reissue, it was so obvious that he drew inspiration from Mother.Renhulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686181968230657383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172477654128505530.post-10096916049125373242011-03-23T10:10:25.285-07:002011-03-23T10:10:25.285-07:00Not sure if this will get to you, Peter, but my na...Not sure if this will get to you, Peter, but my name is Michael Smith and I am a novice screenwriter living in Hyannis, Massacusetts USA. I'd really like to adapt your book into a screenplay, with your permission of course. I think it's a fascinating story that would make a great movie. My e-mail address is michaelsmith180@comcast.net. I just hope Hollywood hasn't already come knocking!Michael Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143609473669723646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172477654128505530.post-41462814734009085782011-03-20T08:58:29.787-07:002011-03-20T08:58:29.787-07:00Bowie is so mercurial that he has left me behind m...Bowie is so mercurial that he has left me behind many times...people think he's so pretentious...that's not it at all. He moves quickly while at the same time immersing his psyche...what 'alter' ego? The only real problem with Bowie is that complete concepts have gone unnoticed in the wake of individual commercial successes. That is an unfair trade off. All of his albums have much more to offer as a whole than any one song he's ever done. <br />So, please pull the Bewlay Brother out of the oxygen tent and tell him the sun machine is goin' down. You've got a lot to tell. Good luck.Kwai Changhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12385789520060056727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172477654128505530.post-39250330743429777792011-03-12T17:59:08.339-08:002011-03-12T17:59:08.339-08:00Hunky Dory is one of my favorite albums by anybody...Hunky Dory is one of my favorite albums by anybody, ever. I'm sure you'll find the Neil Young and Nick Drake influences in there. I look forward to this book!wardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825405583474881509noreply@blogger.com
