could have been filed under any number of threads...but really, is ther anyone on tentfort who is sad to see this one pop up again?

in this article reviewing the release of david bowie's (quite embarrassing - "the laughing gnome"?) 60s work, before he transformed himself into ziggy, major tom, the thin white duke, etc....

personally i could give a fuck if bowie spent the 60s recording polkas...he's still bowie, and that's more than enough for anybody. two of my favorite quotes from this article:

"...he became the most important artist since the Beatles and somehow made four of the greatest albums ever [ziggy stardust and spiders from mars, space oddity, the man who sold the world and hunky dory for those of you playing at home] while so maddened by cocaine he allegedly stored his own urine in the fridge in case a wizard stole it"
[thus explaining the use of this thread]

and this, which just as a general statement about the world i find to be pitch perfect...

"anything requiring that much special pleading must be rubbish."

did i mention that how bowie spent the sixties is utterly irrelevant because in the end he became bowie? just wanted to make sure we had that clear...

it's just a simple trick!

can't believe they even went there; is this really information that needs to get out (unlike cindy mccain's tax information)? but, i dutifully pass it along to close the circle on what has become a grimmer and grimmer thread.
Please

that's just pointless (and disgusting) vandalism, with none of my usual social commentary.

Did like the part about the kid barfing on his dinner plate when confronted, however.
That's the first

this is right up the alley of a certain wizardly prankmoney and his young liege named squisshy ... the only question is, who is the third guy?

Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by

(cue heavy Sabbath riff, wailing harmonica, and tasteful cowbell - "dink")
oh, he's a wizard all right ..

with the ladies! he used to throw months-long parties in SF where all the males were systematically identified and removed from the premises (then presumably offed in wizardly fashion) so he could work his wiles on the remaining females ...
