David Bowie: Iggy Pop
built 646 days ago
Bowie, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a Saturday concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment.

After living together for 20 months, David proposed to Iman in Paris, France. David hired a 'rather smart boat', dinner for two and a pianist. As they cruised along the River Seine, he 'popped the question' under the Pont Neuf.

If anyone wanted to argue that this was Bowie's best period, they could build a good case around side 1 of Heroes. Take one cup Bowie, add rubbery disco bass, electrify with brilliant Robert Fripp guitar parts, sprinkle lightly with Briano Eno sound effects, serve with occasional sax, piano, cheesy backup vocals, or whatever you find in the cupboard, and you've got the ingredients for a clever and entertaining record. Fripp's usual virtuoso mania is relatively minimal here, but it's enough to take the sugariness out of Bowie's usual pop pretensions - the longish hit title track and "Joe The Lion" are great examples. The only problem is that Bowie and Eno once again commit most of side 2 to a wordless, meandering, experimental sound collage/atonal jam. As on the last record, it's daring; but this time there just isn't as much musical substance. So when the pop song album closer "Secret Life Of Arabia" comes on, you feel like you're getting a surprise dessert after suffering through a long, bland, overcooked main course.

Bowie is commonly known as the chameleon of pop, predicting trends and adjusting his style and persona, while holding on to his own ideas and creativity. A multi-instrumentalist, he is perhaps most notable for playing guitar, piano, keyboards and saxophones; but ... plays many others, including drums, synthesizers, percussion, violin, cello, harmonica, marimba, congas, koto and, famously, Stylophone.
