Playing various videos and listening to several concerts (in case you’re interested, one of my all-time Bowie favorites was his concert at the BBC with Garson, Campbell, Dorsey and guitarist Earl Slick).īeside the standout music, the one that that immediately appeared again was the fact that in every performance, he had just the best band possible. I was and remain a huge fan and with the observance of his birth, I decided to have my own Bowie-fest. It was a truely creative experience working with the Thin White Duke.īOWIE’S HOURS - David Bowie would have been 75 last week. Tim Bret-Day had a very unique time working with the image icon that was David Bowie for his album Hours. Affleck’s character btw sports some of the snazziest fashions of the time.Ī gem for sure.
This movie is pretty great: from an array of terrific music (the film starts off with Golden Earring’s 1974 classic “Radar Love”) to the fashion of the times-1972. Great atmosphere, but terribly difficult to follow. It also features just terrific takes from Lily Rabe and Christopher Lloyd.Ĭlooney’s last directorial effort was the somewhat uneventful and somber Midnight Sky it looked superb, but the story was decidedly murky. Moehringer (played by Daniel Ranieri and as a young boy by Tye Sheridan) it’s a coming of age tale growing up in a whirlwind with his mother and grandfather and uncle. THE TENDER BAR -Echoing the sentiments of my fellow TSC-colleague, George Clooney’s The Tender Bar was one terrific ride, with Ben Affleck delivering one of his best-ever performances. While her travails with Phil Spector have been duly noted, they did make some terrific music together. Perhaps not Harrison’s best song-effort ever, but the emotion she brought to the song made it a must-listen. Personally, I loved her take on George Harrison’s “Try Some Buy Some” back in April of 1971. Keith Richards was a huge fan as were The Beatles. Billy Joel’s “Say Goodbye To Hollywood” was inspired by Spector and, when she actually performed the song with Springsteen it was deliriously good. That was perhaps Money’s ultimate performance and having Spector there made it all the more enjoyable. And, that video btw … was just superb with Spector emerging from a cloud of smoke mid-way during the video.
It seems like Sector’s voice has always been in my head from those early classic’s with The Ronettes to her re-emergence on Eddie Money’s “Take me Home Tonight” in 1986. RONNIE SPECTOR RIP - Is “Be My Baby” the best record ever? Well, it’s certainly in my Top 5 and yesterday vocalist Ronnie Spector passed after a brief-cancer battle.
