Reno, 1960’s (via Roadsidepictures)
I saw this performance of DB on the Dick Cavett show in 1974 a couple of days ago, and I can’t stop thinking about it. From the outfit, to the song, the hair, it’s perfection. A brilliant performance of supreme confidence and ability to wield the imagery of the stage. But what I find equally fascinating is the disconnection between the clip posted here, and the interview that took place afterward. Not a moment later Bowie seems uncomfortable, really high, and unsure of himself. It could be part of the act, who knows, but it’s an entirely different person sitting in that seat. Oh, and Dick Cavett is a retard. That’s all, carry on, I’ve got a plane to catch anyway.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s has been Tweeting for almost a year now and it’s only still just at the scene of the party at Holly’s place where Fred ‘Baby’ is beginning to fall in love with her but Holly is only interested in the rich suitors that keep showing up. In this Tweet, Holly is reassuring her friend (who she finds a total bore) Mag Wildwood that it was perfectly fine that she brought the very odd and unattractive, but very rich, Rusty Trawler to her party.

davidlook: I wish I could attend this, but I can’t. But just because I won’t be there, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go.

Clocks strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I’ve done alright up ‘til now
It’s the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls loneliness calls
Chorus:
Oh! Wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah! Wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I’ve been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Soon or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who’ll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
