The Peak 11/4/09: 1976
« on: November 04, 2009, 07:34:13 AM »
Some good NY-centric selections, like BJ's Angry Young Man, Blondie's X-Offender, Ramones' I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend

Burning Spear's Marcus Garvey was NTM, good political reggae -- that's redundant, right?

Bowie's  TVC15 reminds me of NY, too.  He performed it on SNL with backup singers Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias, two very gender bending NYC performance artists, here looking very alien from outer space.  Bowie always knows how to reinvent himself, using whatever popular trends he could appropriate.
