63 today. Holy crap. That makes me … much older than I’d like. Rock on, David. Some Friday music.
In the heat of the morning
Lady grinning soul
Always crashing in the same car
Cat people (putting out fire)
Bonus link: Georgio Moroder remix
I’m afraid of Americans
Who the fuck is that dinosaur?
63 eh, who’d a thought he would have made it this far? Especially after that Tin Machine thing… [shudder]
still, fair play to the lad he’s done well. He’s no Morrissey but fair play to the Duke all the same.
He’s no Morrissey
No, he’s good!
Frank, how dare you
Elvis would have been 75 today
Is Bowie gay?
Overrated twat – Mick Ronson was the true talent…..
no, he’s ambidextrous
Mrs Bowie, Peadar.
Ronson was ace, Dessie, but David was the man.
Had a suspicion that Twenty might be a Bowie fan … and the real ones always refer to ‘Low’.
Nice one. That ‘I’m afraid of Americans’ is a good vid too…
It’s also R. Kelly’s birthday but does he get so much as a mention?
Ridiculous.
I think people forgot R’s birthday because he’s trapped in the closet, Grover.
R’s more likely to be trapped in a 14 year old…
Hey, I was going to marry him.
So it’s Bowie’s birthday, huh? First piece of good news I’ve heard in weeks.
Goddam – is this Omar from The Wire?

Happy birthday to Bowie, one of the few things I can listen to any amount of without getting remotely sick of it, unlike Morrissey who wore me out years ago with his sameiness. Plus, when he eats out, no-one at the table is allowed to eat meat and he orders creamy pasta with peas and carrots.
The real talent there was Johnny Marr, guitar god, maybe the smiths would still be together if Morrissey had stopped trying to nob him.
It IS Omar! Zounds!! Between him and Mrs white Clay today I am befuddled.
Got invited to the private World Tour warm-up gig for that ‘Earthling’ album he did several years back, down at the old Factory studios on Barrow Street. Maybe 400 people present.
A hand-picked audience of cunts and liggers.
Wasn’t a Bowie fan beforehand, but man, what a band, what a gig. Gail Anne Dorsey on bass, Reeves Gabrel on guitars, Wix on the boards, and that afro-haired dude who played on ‘Love Shack’ with the B52′s on drums.
Saw him again in Seinäjoki in 2004 when I played with a band at Provinssi Rock.
The excellent Gerry Leonard (from Dublin) was leading Bowies band.
Monster gig, especially the cover of ‘No-one Ever Called Picasso An Asshole’..
Well I’d say he definitely swings both ways. The wife is gorgeous alright
Fuck. That IS Omar. Fuck, motherfucker. Fucking fuck.
The only thing I never understood was why he couldn’t come up with something other than dry to rhyme with dry in Kooks
hah, never noticed that before, Magoo.
HM – I suppose we’ve all got to make a living.
Greatest album after Cream ” Wheels of Fire ” and Rory Gallagher ” Irish Tour 74 ” – ” The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars”
Greatest Single ever after Warren Zevon “Werewolves of London ” and Rod/Python Lee Jackson “In a Broken Dream” – “The Laughing Gnome”.

Bah!
We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib on which I banged my thigh
Twenty, Do you share the same Birthday as Bowie?
Good news for a change
If there is no presidential veto, the first gay marriage ceremonies could take place in April – a month before Pope Benedict XVI is due on an official visit to Portugal.

No, HM. Mine’s much later in the year
25th December ?
God ? Gwan ye big poof.
On that Omar clip, over 2 and a half million dickheads watched it. Including me!
Bowie takes it up the Gary Glitter
Bowie is the best. Xxx
Outside is my favourite album of all time
Regret to inform Twenty, but Tom Waits is God.
Bowie is a disciple.
God? hmmm.
Sacreliciously, I’m one of those that doesn’t gel with his 70′s work. 1.outside is his greatest album, even if he doesn’t like it himself. Earthling is also great. The “comeback” album critically acclaimed after the supposed “mistake” that was earthling? Meh. Big Meh.
Bowie is the original Hotness.
The old man still makes me swoon.
Loved Bowie’s early stuff from being a kid. Went to the’Glass Spider’ tour, what a load of shite.
Oh, and I have a case of Guinness Foreign Extra that I am lashing into me tonight. 24 bottles for 7.99, want some?
Bowie had a thing with thing with Iggy.
Bowie don’t do it for me I’m afraid. He’s in the Reggae corner hanging out with that other cunt Jonathon Ross.
Iggy Pop – Funhouse
god is whoever can hold the 6 counties together this year. god doesn’t exist. But if he does he could be a woman. What if Iris had an epiphany?
If god is a rock star he is either Neil Young, Lou Reed or Kurt Cobain.

Neil Young, Tom Waits, Bowie..there can be more than one rock god, they’re all bloody amazing.
The ones I don’t get at all are Bob Dylan and Van Morrisson,but each to their own I suppose

young gods.
£50,000, to ride Mrs Robinson, I’d do it for it,even tho she is a Protestant.
She tried to end it all by chocking on a Queers Cock, and worst of all the queer is still queer.
Iris or Katy Ruane or Babs ? No contest!

“He’s kind of old-school, y’know. His attitude is, you don’t spend a lot of time making records. You don’t do millions of takes. You don’t overdub until the cows come home. You just get the song ready, you go in there, you play it, there it is. If someone makes a mistake, fuck it.”
Cheers maggot but, nah, great music, just that buhbuhbuh voice does me head in.
Love t’other one
Fuck me, you’re motherfucking 63? I always had you as an angsty 17 year old pseudo intellectual cunt who reads Dostoyevsky novels and considers Michael McDowel et al as “legendary”. Is the hyper-liberal use of the word “cunt” in Irish blogs the best that your legacy can offer?
He’s 197 kitteh, the Irish Gagool.
Awesome…

Great vid.
Saw him at Slane in 1987 when i was 15 on the Glass Spider Tour. Two big arse bottles of Lindle village Cider and Bowie hits all night. Tried to swim home to Drogheda afterward, a feat up there with the best of my stupid nights. Oh, how we laughed as they pulled us out of the Boyne…Who backed him up that night? I keep mixing it up with Queen the year before?
So… *still* no new blog posts? It must be a great life, not having a real job.
Twenty, he’s one of the new UK post stamps (classic albums). Look it up on the Royal Mail site.
Happy birthday you old goat(capricorn)! I hope you “put on your red shoes and danced the blues.”
Bowie is the best ever, and I’ve been a fan since I was a kid.
I’ll never forget the first time I saw him on the telly, I thought he looked like Frankenstein, with the big boots, tight trousers, make-up, and mad head on him!
May he live forever!
