You can't plan a success and these records by the cult musicians in search of one prove this point. However, some actually achieved the goal with Let's Dance by Bowie being one of the most obvious cases here. A debate continues to rage on – how much did he sell out on the disc? He liked to claim at one point the disc was a natural progression for him and I would agree with him, but there need to some caveats. While Bowie cosplayed as a pop musician on Let's Dance, we must recall this reflects his modus operandi.  Still, he always transformed the idioms he inhabited into his own way, yet Let's Dance feels at times as him cashing out. Then again, would he be the consequent Bowie superstar persona without this LP? Think of that.

Forty years. Fucking hell, where did the time go.
1983 was a brilliant year to be a Bowie fan. The release of Let’s Dance heralded a fantastic summer of music. Let’s Dance (the album), the Serious Moonlight tour, The Hunger, Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, and Bowie seemed to be everywhere that summer. Every time you turned on the telly. Every time you turned on the radio. For me personally, as a mere slip of a lad of 21 it was a summer of love, music, friendship, sunshine, spliff and Bowie.
The single Let’s Dance came out on this day in 1983, and I loved it from the first few seconds. Still do. Forty years on, it’s still a brilliant album, maybe not among his best but super special for the vibe it still evokes, and the memories attached to it.
The nadir that followed it isn’t important now. Let’s Dance is. If you’re as old as me (which I very much doubt) you’ll remember how amazing the summer of ‘83 was for a Bowie fan, and a fan of music in general. Music was all, and Bowie was the biggest presence of all. We lived it, and we lived it in the moment.
Jane H, Jane S, Paula, Traci, Jug, Rodney, Dawn, Claire and Scat shared it with me. Ryuichi Sakamoto, Susan Sarandon, Nile Rodgers, Takeshi, Tom Conti, Catherine Deneuve, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nagisa Oshima and David Bowie provided the collective spark.
Long live Let’s Dance!

PAUL: "No, I don't particularly admire him as a writer, because he hasn't done much. I admire Stevie Wonder more. And Stephen Sondheim. Probably one of the best."
PLAYBOY: "Sondheim? You mean as in Broadway musicals?"
PAUL: "Sure. You know, when we started with the Lennon-McCartney thing, you know, 50-50 with a handshake, it was like a Rodgers and Hammerstein trip. For me it was, anyway. That romantic image of collaboration, all those films about. New York songwriters plugging away at the piano... 'We'll call it Alligator Symphony; what a great idea!' – and they all go to California and get drunk. That always appealed to me, that image. Lennon and McCartney were to become the Rodgers and Hammerstein of the Sixties; that's the way that dream went."
PLAYBOY: "Then is there a part of you that's still looking for a new partner – someone you can write with the way you did with John?"
PAUL: "I'm not looking... I'm not, because I didn't look for John, either. But I think if I happened to fall into a situation where I felt comfortable writing with someone, I definitely wouldn't say no to it. I like collaboration, but the collaboration I had with John... it's difficult to imagine anyone else coming up to that standard. Because he was no slouch, that boy. He was pretty hot stuff, you know. I mean, I can't imagine anybody being there when I go," (sings) "'It's getting better all the time.' I just can't imagine anybody who could chime in," (sings) "'It couldn't get much worse.'"
— Playboy Interview with Paul and Linda McCartney, Interviewed by Joan Goodman (1984)

Happy Birthday our longest running comic, first published on July 30th 1938 the Beano is 85 years old today!
An ostrich called Big Eggo was the front page star, and the comic only cost 2d. The central composition was also different. While the modern Beano is entirely based on comic strips, the early Beano had stories told with pictures with text beneath explaining what was going on, and stories told only with text. It also lacked many of the characters that are synonymous with it now, Dennis, Rodger and Minnie only arriving in the golden years of the 1950s.
A few months before The Beano came its sister paper, The Dandy, and a year after another sister, The Magic comic. Due to the Second World War however, only two of these were to survive. The war meant that comics had to use fewer pages, by printed in lesser numbers and less often. This meant that the Beano and Dandy were made smaller, only available to those who pre-ordered them, and were only printed on alternate weeks. They provided a vital service in the war, warning children to leave alone things like mines on beaches and printing stories to outline the difference between Nazis and normal Germans and so teaching children not to demonize people based on nationality. They also pictured the enemy leaders as bungling fools, such as in The Beano strip, Musso the Wop and in the many times that Lord Snooty and pals went to give the Fuhrer a piece of their mind.
The 1950s is thought to be the golden age of The Beano as so many of the most popular and long running characters were created then, such as Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, Rodger the Dodger and the characters that would eventually become known as The Bash Street Kids, whose original incarnation was a basically identical story called When The Bell Rings.
As well as it’s regular characters, the Beano also had it’s supply of irregulars, who popped in every so often for one off-stories. These were usually less cartoony, the characters looking more realistic and detailed, and the stories themselves were often more serious. These stories included General Jumbo and The Iron Fish. A more recent example would be Billy The Cat.
Of course being a Scottish publication there were some characters who were based here, most notable were two from the 1970's Wee Ben Nevis T\and he McTickles., the latter involved Chief Jock and his highland clan fought a comic war of attrition against their rivals the McNasties, while avoiding the pranks played on them by the "McHaggises", small round animals with a similar shape to a haggis and with long noses and thistles for ears. Some McHaggises had legs of different length on opposite sides of their bodies, allowing them to remain horizontal while walking around the sides of mountains.
More recently The Beano has been moving with the times n recent years there have been a number of tweaks and changes made to some of the principal characters and now, to mark the publication’s 85th anniversary, five new characters have been added to the Bash Street Kids: Harsha, Mandi, Khadija, Mahira and Stevie Starr to better reflect 21st Century life.
One of the new characters suffers from anxiety while another wears a hijab and they have already been scrutinised by some sections of the media. Beano bosses are prepared for accusations of ‘wokery’ and yet another so-called politically correct assault on our heritage, but insist that we all have to move with the times and that, prior to the changes, all ten of the original Bash Street Kids were white and nine were boys.
This outdated picture, they quite rightly argue, doesn’t reflect the society that today’s Beano readers inhabit and, if they want to retain existing readers, not to mention attract new ones, they need to move with the times. It was the same motivation which prompted management at the comic to rename key characters Fatty and Spotty, Freddy and Scotty a couple of years ago.
While Freddy still looks like someone who wouldn’t ever say no to extra chips, there is no need for his old, outdated nickname, which quite frankly, has been outlawed in playgrounds across the land for the past three decades at least
Of course there will be thosde who disagree with the newer characters and name changes, but I wonder how many of these folk have actually picked up a copy of The Beano since the 1970's?
If being respectful of others’ beliefs and feelings makes me woke then I’m guilty as charged and, quite frankly, I would be worried if I wasn’t considered to be as such.
Tens of thousands of copies of The Beano are sold every week which, in this digital age, is very impressive and is testament to its enduring relevance. We live in different times to those of our grandparents and recognising that fact is a strength rather than a weakness.

I remember asking this on the old blog, but it didn't get answered, so let me send again here:
How the boys react to their MC (when they are already in love with MC) giving them a piece of jewlerey the MC values greatly and never takes off? As a symbol of love and to have something to remember MC by if something ever happens to them.
I wrote vignettes as an apology for taking so long to answer this. (Part 1/2)
---STEVIE ST. CLOUD---
Stevie looks down at the necklace you had laid in the palm of his hand. His dark brows are furrowed, his eyes narrowed in confusion.
"Nope." Stevie says as he shakes his head, his dark hair bouncing with the movement. "No, I don't want this... this is yours." With shaking hands he moves to clasp it back around your neck.
Stevie looks into your eyes. He's clearly upset and if you look closely you can tell that tears have begun to pool in his, threatening to spill with every second he allows himself to overthink.
"The only reason someone gives shit like this away... is that they're dying... or think they're going to die." He lets out a harsh sigh. "You ain't goin' anywhere, so... I don't need this. I'd sell my soul all over again for you, alright?"
He reaches out to you, grasping your face in his hands. His fingertips brush lightly against your cheeks, rough with callouses from playing guitar. "I... I fuckin' love you, and I ain't goin' let you die... not before me. I don't need shit to remember you by, I've got you. So, keep your damn necklace."
---EZRA RODGERS---
Ezra takes the ring from you, examining it as if he'd never truly seen it before. He looks from it to you, his dark eyes searching yours for answers.
"This is important to you, right?" He'd never seen you without it on your finger, Ezra had always assumed it meant something to you. That it was a family heirloom or something.
"Why would you give me this?" He waits for your answer, turning the ring in-between his fingers. When he hears your response. That you love him, that he deserves something to remember you by, just in case... he almost drops the ring to the ground.
"You know I love you too... but," He looks to his feet, almost as if he's ashamed. "I... don't have anything to give you in return. I've never had anything important enough to keep... except for you."
He slips the ring into his pocket, freeing his hands so that he can pull you in for an embrace. "I'll take the ring, hold onto it for you... until this is all over... But, I'm not handing you over, not to anyone... I'm keeping you."
---VINNY FRATELLI---
Vinny laughs when you clasp your bracelet around his wrist, jingling it around and listening to the sound of the charms hitting against each other.
His laughter is cut short when he looks up and sees the look in your eyes, the way the lighting makes it look like you're about to cry. "What're you talkin' about?" He asks, his accent thickening as his chest tightens.
"Somethin' to remember you by? Why would I need that?" His hand drops to his side, his attention pulled from the bracelet and completely focusing on you. "What's wrong? Do I gotta kill someone?"
His brows furrow and as you explain yourself to him his look of concern shifts to sorrow. "I... look," he reaches up and drags a large hand through his blond hair. "If there's no you... there ain't no more me... okay? So, I don't need nothin' to remember you by. I'll keep it, 'cause you're the one who gave it to me... but I ain't gonna look at it like that."
"I love you... and I'll be even more damned than I already am if I've ever gotta live without you."
