"LET'S DANCE...WITH DEATH!" Bowie A Big Hit

The Morbid the Merrier!

Nostalgic 50 and 60-somethings who tossed their vinyl years ago, are buying those old old Bowie albums again as downloads on iTunes. Yawwwwwn.

Millennials, you can be sure, are mostly just downloading the shit FREEEE from TORRRRENTS.

Oh yeah. "Let's Dance." Forgot about that piece of tripe. It's a real work of genius, just maybe a little below other sell-out disco craploads like "Miss You" by Bowie's ex-bed mate, and "Superman" by Ray "I Was Influenced into Becoming an Androgyne by Bowie, Too" Davies.

I remember DECADES ago, when I could get free promo copies of ANYTHING, ordering up a bunch of Bowie albums, just to try and check what I'd never found too compelling.

I ended up tossing 'em. I tried. They just didn't interest me. I sat there thinking, "No, these aren't profound concept albums. No, I am wasting my time with this stuff."

And the new material on his latest record label? Like "Let's Dance?" This didn't strike me as genius. "Putting Out Fire with Gasoline?" I admit, I had it on my Walkman workout tape at the gym, but I also had "Stand in the Fire" by Peter Antisemitic Gabriel and, fer Chrissake, "Workin' Up a Sweat" by Alice Cooper.

And if you want to claim the Bowzer's Ziggy stuff was concept album genius, then what was Jethro Tull's "Aqualung," the fuckin' Einstein of rock? You want to place "Atom Heart Mother" on Mount Olympus? Do we go to a mosque and find the Koran replaced by an 8-track of "Tea for the Tillerman?"
