The Peak, 01/08/08: Happy Birthday, Thin White Ziggy!
« on: January 08, 2008, 07:37:08 AM »
10 from Bowie to celebrate his birthday.  Some fine takes on "Rebel Rebel" (from 2003) and "Queen Bitch" (from 1976), but most surprising of set is his Trent Reznor collaboration "I'm Afraid of Americans," which I think was his last Top 40 hit.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

Also Robbie Krieger's.  And my cousin Andy's.

The 9:00 pop quiz was a list of events from the birthyears of Graham ('31), Elvis ('35) and Bowie ('47), and you had to answer with the name of the appropriate Rock icon, i.e. "Parker Brothers issued the board game Monopoly" - "Elvis"

Little Steven did his annual salute, tho' he didn't mention Graham. But he did do a set of birthday boy Soupy Sales-related tunes, including "Do the Mouse".
