Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
*<Russell if that wayward gif above looks like it is gonna get loose and eat the site, delete it if you need to – it was better behaved on the linked site might be a frame size issue or somesuch>
Ha ha! It is pretty wayward, isn't it? I think it'll be all right.

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Peter Darlington,
possibly with Bowie inspired by EC of course.
Yes, that seems to be the case.

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Peter Darlington,
Some excellent music nerdy for you Pete: how Bowie fathered the Sleng Teng rhythm and the Sex Pistols' 'God Save the Queen'.

Noelle interviewed Hugh Lynn, who toured Bowie here three times, on RNZ earlier this morning. He made passing mention of Bowie's stage rider and she moved him on and I was all Noelle, ask him what was on the rider!!
And then I remembered that I knew, because there had been a news report about it. If I recall correctly, Bowie's rider called for sushi.
We eat it at the mall now of course, but back then it made him seem impossibly exotic and sophisticated.

George Kay's interview with Bowie for Rip It Up in Christchurch in 1978, before the show. Pics by Laurence Aberhart.

A photograph from another day. Jordan Luck's sister Miranda posted this pic of the (then) Dance Exponents meeting the man before playing support for Bowie at Western Springs in 1983.

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Richard Stewart,
Heard the news on my way to Jamie xx last night, and it coloured my evening somewhat.
But don't you feel lucky to have been there for what happened with 'Let's Dance'? I certainly do. I'll never forget that.

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Simon Bennett,
When Jamie XX played Let’s Dance last night through that stonking sound system it was one of the most moving and exhilarating moments I have known.
Yes. I pretty much lost it. But, then, so did everyone else. It was so joyous.
And that 33 year-old Nile Rodgers production sounded incredible through that big, modern dance music PA.

Holy shit, this is fantastic. Bowie talks about the internet to Jeremy Paxman in 2000.
Paxman's gurning in the cutaways adds the crucial element of comedy.

What's been happening tonight on social media is unprecedented. Tweets that aren't about David Bowie seem a bit rude, frankly.
What I love about it is that it's all of us getting to talk about how art moved and made us. We don't do that often enough.
