That Time David Bowie Sung “Imagine” In Concert In John Lennon’s Honour
The last show of the Serious Moonlight tour, 8th December, 1983, was the 3rd anniversary of John Lennon’s death, whom David Bowie and guitarist Earl Slick knew. Slick suggested a few days prior to the show that they play “Across the Universe” as a tribute; but Bowie said, “Well if we’re going to do it, we might as well do ‘Imagine’.” They performed the song on the final night of the tour as a tribute to their friend.
Watch David Bowie’s First Film Appearance In The X-Rated “The Image”
The beginnings of Bowie’s acting career predate his commercial breakthrough as a musician. Studying avant-garde theatre and mime under Lindsay Kemp, he was given the role of Cloud in Kemp’s 1967 theatrical production Pierrot in Turquoise (later made into the 1970 television film The Looking Glass Murders). In the black-and-white short The Image from 1969, he played a ghostly boy who emerges from a troubled artist’s painting to haunt him. The film is one of the few short films ever to receive a certified ‘X’ Rating and it gained this rating due to its violent content.
This Farm House Uses 1,000 CDs To Make A New Art Installation
A South Africa-based artist decided to use 1000 recycled discs and give them a new purpose, by incorporating them into his latest art installation – a derelict, abandoned farm house. r1r1r1‘s artwork interacts in connection with the light of the sun. When the sun reflects on the CDs, they re-direct a spectrum of dynamic, neon-like colours that change as one moves position. The CD installation was strategically placed in an open landscape, facing west, to capture the sunlight as it mirrors back a magnificent ‘sound’ of colour. The temporary artwork was installed in one day and dismantled the day after.

Lucinda Williams on the music industry, and artists who don’t work hard enough
What advice would you give your younger self?
There are good people in the music business, but there are a lot of horrible, stupid people, too. In 1984, I had just moved to L.A. I had a meeting with this guy at, I think, Columbia Records. He said, “You have a lot of potential, but you need to work on your songs. None of them have bridges.” After the meeting, I got out my Bob Dylan and Neil Young albums. I said, “These songs don’t have bridges either. So fuck that guy.”
What misperceptions did you have about the business?
I used to think talent was all it took. But now I think it’s 50 percent talent and 50 percent drive. I’ve seen people who were brilliant but don’t want to tour or do whatever it takes. How many times do you read about an artist who had a record deal in the Seventies, and now they’re working as a carpenter somewhere? They’re all bitter and cynical: “Nobody understands my music anymore.” No, it’s because you fucked up your career!

How Living Your Life Is Like Picking The Winning Lottery Numbers
In “The Lottery of Life“, the School of Life explains how most people live in thinking they will one day be successful in their personal and professional lives, regardless of the odds – like a lottery – aren’t always in their favour. We tend to look patronisingly at people convinced they might win the lottery. But we often harbour equally misguided hopes for our romantic and professional lives.
We may not have a sense that we’re playing any kind of luxury and yet we are the lottery of life. We too are clutching tickets of various kinds and setting our sights on statistical near miracles even while we think we’re being utterly sober rational level-headed the crucial place where this lottery like behavior happens is in relation to our hopes of happiness into areas in particular love and work. …Our imagined society is likely to contain many more murders rabid dogs man-eating sharks and beautiful happy people than the real world does. Our mental map of how much contentment is possible defies all the known facts. If we could really see what love and work would be like for most other people, we would be so much less sad about our own situation and attainments. If we could fly across the world and peer into everyone’s lives and minds like an all-seeing angel, we’d perceive how very frequent disappointment is. How much unfulfilled ambition is circulating. How much confusion and uncertainty is being played out in private.
