A night with Bowie
Q-factor ponders an evening with David Bowie. Oddly enough, it’s about how I’d imagine an evening with Bowie. That’s why I guess I’ve never really gone out of my way to meet the guy. I’m sure he gets tired of the David/Ziggy/Space Oddity/Aladdin/Thin White Duke/etc. etc. etc.. comparisons. And, I’d know that. So, I would imagine it would be the two of us just chatting idly about raising kids and some silly things we’ve done through life. So, until that happens, I’ll keep the interesting stuff going here as long as I can.

David Bowie M&M’s
The author of the Blog of Eternal Stench had a thought…..
What would Bowie look like as an M&M?
Well, not being content to simply ponder the idea. SHE made it happen! ( My apologies! )
Perfect.
Quickie update: I was very curious as to how someone could to Bowie albums and totally skip the most important Bowie album he ever did. Well, Cristin informed me she didn’t skip it, it just wasn’t one of her favorites. So, follow this link to see it ( and all of them less one ).

Michael Oberman’s nature shots
I have been toying with Flickr a lot lately. I like it. It’s a vibrant community that shares most of its personna and thoughts through pictures. It’s also a wealth of history through the eye of a lens. I was recently pointed to Michael Oberman’s pics on Flickr. For the most part it has lot of pictures of birds, flowers, and other nature stuff. In the middle of all that, it has this shot:
That’s Michael, his brother, and a very young David Bowie sitting on Oberman’s mom’s couch. It was Bowie’s first night in the United States, sometime in January, 1971. He was here to promote his newest album, The Man Who Sold the World, as well as pushing his yet to be released album, Hunky Dory. His first US performance was in Washington DC. While here, he started working on his next album. It would be Ziggy Stardust. The first time he came to the US, he had to shack up in someone’s mom’s house. The next time he came back, a year later, he was a star.
To think it all started on Michael’s mom’s couch in Silver Spring.

Glass Action
This is just too cool. Carey Gustafson in Detroit does some incredible things with stained glass. And apparently has a liking for Bowie as well. The result?
Although it might terrify the little boy, I think I’m gonna get me one for the new house!
