Bowiesongs (C. O'Leary): revising the "Station to Station" entry in the book and have to incorporate this performance---its bizarre epilogue, a cosmic death curse from 2016, which I still can't quite believe happened sometimes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6WS...

"Station to Station" by the RNC House Band featuring GE Smithwww.youtube.com

The repeated "It's too late!" is something I'd roll my eyes at for laying it on a touch too thick in a movie.

completely gobsmacked.

Veep - What the fuckwww.youtube.com

i remember when it happened El & I were tweeting at each other essentially that

i did not know this happened!!! i am saying it right this moment!

I think about this so often. I keep meaning to pitch an oral history on it. I wonder if Smith would talk.

been meaning to find out who the singer was----he looks like he's at a funeral and the way his voice hiccups on the "cocaine" is like he'd just heard the original recording & is trying to replicate it all

None of it makes any sense though, does it? Why that song??? My favourite Bowie song, but an obscure one, and a perverse one, especially in those circumstances. Proper end-of-times weirdness.

i would be curious what Smith would say---was an intentional statement? just picked a song that the band could groove on for 10 minutes?

That's the thing - I wouldn't expect Smith to be honest or open about it. I'd wanna know why he took the gig, too!

See, if you would all just switch to being Peter Hammill fans, you wouldn't have problems like these.
