David Bowie releases new song!

This guy is a musical genius! He turned 66 yesterday and released this new song! The lyrics are outstanding and deep. So far better than the 10 words in a techno dance beat song crap we are forced to listen to on the radio today. Music of today should be made to study the greats like Bowie. I have included some of my favorite Bowie songs underneath the new one. Enjoy. If you don’t like Bowie then jeesh I don’t know what to say…He has had something to say in every decade since the 60’s! Will Justin Bieber or Miley Cryus be able to do that? I think not.

David Bowie: Where Are We Now?
Now on to more Bowie!
From 1969 Space Oddity
Heroes
Ashes to ashes (One I personally love!)
Modern Love
Under Pressure with QUEEN (another great freaking song!) Why can’t we give love one more chance????
And even though not all of Bowie’s great work is represented here, I will leave you with this one.
My very personal favorite….I could loop this song and pass away happy to it…
Life on Mars

Check out the following video below. Never since the days of Milli Vanilli has this been so true. These days so many “singers” aren’t great or even good professional singers on the world’s stage and hell they are selling millions of albums and every teeny bopper kid is addicted to buying their swag. Now we even have teeny girls supposedly cutting themselves because Justin Bieber is smoking pot. Hello kids…Your parents probably smoked pot so get over it. No need to get all cut up about it. (yea you can thank me for the cutting reference joke). But back to this video. It’s so true. Most singers today can’t carry a pitch much less sing at all with autotunes and pitch correction devices we have today. But I would suspect that the singers and artists of your parents time were singers and not faking it with all the life saving vocal crap today. A recording studio could probably make s mute person sound like Cher.
