"At the age of eight, I was an obedient good boy. But at 15-16, he started playing pranks. I even managed to go to jail because of a public insult. I was fighting, and my passion for rock music allowed me to vent my aggression. I can say that in our music we are much more aggressive than street punks. I finally have the opportunity to speak out. The authorities do not have such an opportunity." Bon Scott on the beginning of the rock and roll lifestyle.

After the first trip, David Bowie came to the USSR (Russia) twice more. In 1976, together with Iggy Pop, on the birthday of the latter, they decided to fly from Zurich to Moscow in between shows, and celebrate the holiday there.

Celebrating Iggy Pop's 29th birthday

Bowie's second visit to the USSR was in the spring of '76 - and already in the company of Iggy Pop, photographer Andrew Kent and tour manager Pat Gibbons. During the 7 hours they spent in Moscow, they managed to eat caviar, walk around Red Square and take pictures against the backdrop of the Mausoleum before heading to Helsinki (we believe, again by train).

And in 1996, David Bowie came to Moscow on his own, with a concert that took place at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. Unfortunately, according to Bowie himself, this concert turned out to be almost the most unsuccessful in his entire career. And it wasn't just the wrong venue, bad sound and very expensive tickets.

The performer was very upset by the audience, who came not to listen to his songs, but to look at the foreign star as at a strange animal in a cage. And no matter how hard Bowie tried to stir people up, he failed. The artist was so disappointed in the Russian audience that he promised never to come to Russia again. Well, he kept his word...

See you in the next article!

Someday you'll realize that there are people who never betray… But to do this, you will have to go through a lot of betrayals.

Someday you will realize that the outer brilliance is nothing compared to the inner beauty. Because everything outside is before the first rain... and what's inside is always on fire! Even if it has faded to barely visible embers. But, it's enough to put your lips together and blow gently — the fire will gradually flare up and warm you up.

Someday you will realize that many formulas and aphorisms that you have picked up in the world around you are empty, albeit beautiful, sets of words — nothing more. Only the truths that you have reached are important.

Someday you will understand that kindness, tenderness, affection and care are manifestations of inner strength, not weakness.

Steve Morgan

An electronic composer who, in our opinion, creates not only music that is unusual in its beauty, but also uses incredibly beautiful videos in his clips.

His music is fantastic and unforgettable, everyone will find something of their own here, the variety and breadth of themes are simply amazing.

On April 26, 1993, the single "Walking In My Shoes" by the English band Depeche Mode was released

The version of "Walking in My Shoes" featured on the single differs from the album version in slightly altered sound and an abbreviated intro.

The "B" side is occupied by "My Joy", a rock song in the spirit of "I Feel You" and "Halo".

youtube

The video for "Walking in My Shoes" was directed by Anton Corbijn. The video has two versions — the original one (present on the DVD compilations The Videos 86>98 and The Best of Videos) and censored by American MTV (the insert present at the beginning of the second verse, in which the band members sit on stools with naked girls on their knees, was removed).

"Anything Anytime Anyplace For No Reason At All"

Information is not knowledge.

Knowledge is not wisdom.

Wisdom is not truth.

Truth is not beauty.

Beauty is not love.

Love is not music.

Music is THE BEST.

Frank Zappa, The Real Frank Zappa Book (1989)

Grackles – Grackles (2024)

📀 🔊 🎧 🎶 🔥 💣

country-alt | alt-folk | blues | americana psychedelic | austin

Wow, what starlings have arrived!�� 🔥 💣

a chic, but somewhere gloomy blues rumba with country-murder ballads from the pillars of Austin Americana. a valuable find;))

a good album, in one go.

The Grackles are a group of music industry veterans who have seen everything the music industry has to offer – Paxson, for example, played drums for Beyonce and Nancy Sinatra – so if the fact that they did decide to get together and create something new should in itself make you want to pay attention to them.

Andrea Van Cleef - Horse Latitudes (2024)

perhaps one of the most notable figures of country folk blues from the Appennines.

I joined him in the 21st after getting acquainted with his joint release with Diego Deadman Potron

... again, nothing has been printed with horses for a long time;)))

How David Bowie traveled the entire USSR in a compartment of an ordinary train.

During his more than half a century-long career, British rock musician David Bowie toured almost the whole world, and almost everywhere he was greeted by crowds of fans mad with delight, and concerts were held only at the best urban venues.

One of such inhospitable countries for foreign artists was the Soviet Union, where Bowie's songs were simply banned. Therefore, when rumors appeared in the press that David Bowie had secretly visited the Soviet Union in the early 70s, all public attention turned to this extremely curious story.

It later became known that the trip was not such a secret, because along with Bowie, the USSR was also crossed by journalist Robert Musel, who later wrote an article about the musician's journey, friend and colleague of the singer Jeff McCormack, who published an entire book about the artist, and photographer Lee Childers, who recorded all the details of the trip.

David Bowie and Jeff McCormack in the dining car

In April 1973, when David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust Tour, dedicated to the promotion of two albums by the artist ("The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" and "Aladdin Sane"), was already coming to its logical conclusion, the entire David Bowie team was counting on a short vacation, because The next concert in London was scheduled for mid-May only. In general, it is an ideal situation to stay at home and relax for a while. However, Bowie had completely different plans in this regard...

David Bowie during the "Ziggy Stardust Tour"

. . . And all because in the distant 70s, David Bowie suffered from terrible aerophobia, the cause of which was a very nervous flight from Cyprus during a storm for the performer. Looking ahead, I note that over time Bowie still managed to overcome his fear of flying, but until then he tried to move between concert venues using land or water transport. And this, as you know, required much more time than flying by plane.

In general, David Bowie planned to spend all his free time on the road before the concert in London. At first, the artist and his team had to travel for two days on the ship Felix Dzerzhinsky, en route from Yokohama to Nakhodka. Most of the passengers on board were ordinary tourists, but this did not bother the rock musicians in any way: they drank and had fun all the way, and Bowie even played an unplanned acoustic set, performing his main hits.

The audience of this spontaneous concert liked the version of the song "Amsterdam" the most Jacques Brel, which was performed by the artist. On the stage after the concert, Bowie talked with the Russian sailors for several more hours, telling them about Western culture.

When the steamer finally arrived at the port of Nakhodka, all passengers, including musicians, were escorted to the train, which Bowie liked very much - a big and, unfortunately, forced fan of railway travel

At the same time, all foreign tourists were given a book "On Scientific Communism" by Marx, Engels and Lenin, as well as memos explaining what can and cannot be photographed in the USSR. However, the funniest "gift", according to the musicians, was a brochure in which the authors stated their point of view that the animated series "Tom and Jerry" contributes to the mental degradation of children.

The train that the musicians boarded took them only to Khabarovsk in three days, where foreign guests had to switch to a much more modest Trans-Siberian Express - the most ordinary train, similar to thousands of other trains that still run between Russian regions.

In addition, the "ordinariness" of this train was also in the contingent traveling in it, consisting of ordinary Soviet citizens, for whom David Bowie seemed like some kind of alien. It is understandable: the actor had red hair, he was dressed in bright outerwear - shiny T-shirts, wide trousers, caps and platform shoes, and on the train he even wore a kimono.

The journey from Khabarovsk to Moscow lasted six days, during which David Bowie and his team not only listened to the unflattering statements of the Soviet middle class, but also did more pleasant things - they communicated with the guides and even sang their songs to them, for which, in addition to ovations, they received additional portions of tea and products that the guides They bought it during stops.

In addition, the "ordinariness" of this train was also in the contingent traveling in it, consisting of ordinary Soviet citizens, for whom David Bowie seemed like some kind of alien. It is understandable: the actor had red hair, he was dressed in bright outerwear - shiny T-shirts, wide trousers, caps and platform shoes, and on the train he even wore a kimono.

The musicians looked out the window for a long time and thought a lot. Bowie, for example, was very struck by the poverty of the Soviet people, and he could not understand how they survived the harsh Siberian winters in wooden houses. He was also surprised by Soviet women who, regardless of age, performed hard physical work. And, of course, the musician admired nature, because in addition to picturesque landscapes, he often saw wild animals from the train window.

The Trans-Siberian Express arrived in Moscow on April 30, and Bowie and his team spent three days in the capital. Of course, they went to Red Square and looked into GUM, but Bowie didn't like it there. He noted that they did not even manage to have a delicious lunch in GUM. Well, on May 1, the musicians witnessed a large-scale festive parade, which they watched from the windows of the Intourist hotel on Tverskaya Street (now The Ritz-Carlton is located there).

Bowie was frankly amazed not only by the size of the crowd, but also by the fact that each participant in the parade was holding a red flag and singing patriotic songs. This sight remained in the musician's memory for a long time and became his last great impression from a long journey through the Soviet Union. The next day, the musicians boarded a train and, passing Warsaw, Berlin and Paris, headed for London.

After this trip, David Bowie came to the USSR (Russia) twice more. In 1976, together with Iggy Pop, on the birthday of the latter, they decided to fly from Zurich to Moscow in between shows, and celebrate the holiday there.

But, this is the next story.... to be continued...

“As a group, we were united. That's the only thing that can be said about us: we were really close-knit friends. We could argue a lot among ourselves, but we were very, very close to each other, and in the company of other people or in other situations we always stuck together.”

– George Harrison
