    I mean, no, I don't have a dog, but I don't see any reason my dog can't be white.

    DJs aren't musicians.

    Speaking of Bowie, seems like GINA is a fan. Every other country is so basic.

    They listen to Chicago in Cuba?!? and Jamaica and Barbados? I mean, sure, Chicago will rule in Uganda, but the Caribbean?

    Putin must be pissed that a band named Queen is "king" in Russia.

    Zimbabwe going rogue by listening to Thin Lizzy.

    I have another reason not to visit Bahrain.

    I guess I need to head to Greenland or Central Africa to escape "classic rock."

    Norway and Namibia finally have something in common - their love for Bruce Springsteen.

    Ironically or not, Bowie & Lennon were big fans of the Uncle Floyd Show. Beaming to your living room at like 13 watts outta Newark on Ch. 68. Bowie even wrote a song about it.

    Not sure what rabbit hole this came from, but William F Buckley's bro James is still with us.

    (Wikipedia)
    James Lane Buckley was born on March 9, 1923, in New York City, New York, to Aloise Steiner and William Frank Buckley Sr., the fourth of ten children to the couple. He is the older brother of the late conservative writer William F. Buckley, Jr. and the uncle of Christopher Taylor Buckley. He is also the uncle of Brent Bozell III and political consultant William F. B. O'Reilly. His mother, from New Orleans, was of Swiss-German, German, and Irish descent, while his paternal grandparents, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, were of Irish ancestry

    Pizza, there was a Black musician named Clarence Carter who did a song by this name before your time. As soon as I saw this, my thought was, Bowie pilfered Carter. But this is apparently his own thing.

    I read a couple of William’s books back in the day. Bit of a privileged rich guy who didn’t know how to reach down to the middle or gawd, not the working classes.
    The rich boys sailing across the Atlantic was interesting to me as a sailor. Sort of deciding which wines they would take with their chefs meals. We went with cheap beer and Dinty Moores. In the Puget Sound that was.

    Loved the Uncle Floyd show. Saw many bands you couldn't see anywhere else on tv in those days. My memory is horrible but Ramones, Joe Jackson, Squeeze etc, were on.

    Holy crap: Their dad was born in Texas. And not only in texas, in "Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas," where the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed. in 1836.

    That almost explains a few things.

    My bro would get home from school & flip it on and my dad hated it. It was so goofy and sophomoric which of course made it awesome to us yoots.

    Occurred to me as children either asked me about or complained to me about my musical choices...

    You have to be pretty damnb young to group the Bee Gees and Aerosmith into the same category, even as they co-existed on the same stations during the same three/four year period in the mid70s.

    Greatest musical decade ever. Say it wif feeling!

    So weird how some people wear their lack of discernment like a badge of honor.
