DAVID BOWIE 'INTHESTUDIO' FOR LET'S DANCE 30TH ANNIVERSARY:
Dallas, TX - MARCH 26, 2013. North American syndicated Rock radio show and website InTheStudio: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands "puts on its red shoes and dances the blues" this week with the ever-changing chameleon of rock, David Bowie.
Far from David Bowie's first "comeback", thirty years ago he emerged
from a protracted period of self-imposed exile in Berlin where he had
virtually singlehandedly co-opted the best elements of Kraut Rock
(Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Can, Amon Duul) into a series of critically
lauded if not best-selling albums Low, Lodger, Heroes, and Scary
Monsters, whose influence can now be seen in full bloom in today's
wildly popular Electronica movement. When Bowie's Let's Dance
emerged in Spring 1983 with songs "Modern Love", "China Girl", "Cat
People" (with young unheralded Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray
Vaughan), Metro's "Critical World", and the seven minute title strut, it
put David back in heavy rotation on North American rock radio where he
had been MIA since his previous "comeback" to rock, 1976's #1 seller
Station to Station. In this week's InTheStudio program with host
Redbeard, Bowie explains the difference between rock music as change
agent versus popular music.
"It's very important for an art form to be the way that only a
certain group of people think. That's when it's still an incendiary
device. But then when it just becomes the way that we ALL think, it's
popular music. We all love popular music. Access to it is so easy. It's
everywhere."
