[net.music] Bowie and Heroes

rael@inuxe.UUCP (07/14/83)

I just wanted to mention that David Bowie has made the cover of Time this
week. Pretty impressive. I only have one complaint, I wish he could have all
this sucess without having gotten so popular, so that people who've liked
him all along (like me) wouldn't have such a hard time getting to see him.
Actually, I shouldn't complain since its nice to have Bowie to listen to
(I think he had retired brfore Lodger came out).

As far as heroes go ... I wasn't talking about the song, I was referring
to musical heroes. For a while there, music hit a low point and I was 
wondering if it'd ever recover (thanks God for New Wave). I think the 
music scene is again lively, and it is nice to have musical heroes.

My three main heroes are: Peter Gabriel, David Bowie and Sting. Also, not
quite on the same category but close, is Stevie Nicks.

Let's hear who are other netters' heroes.

I have also been wondering (after following the "American Pie" discussion)
if people on net.land would be interested in discussing songs (their
meaning, message, cultural value, etc.). I used to (and still do) have
discussions about songs which were quite enjoyable and many times
enlightening. So comon folks, lets talk music.

P.S.: Would anyone care to discuss "Supper's Ready" ?
