I'm quite fond of anything from the 80s being born in 1981, but I sometimes wonder if the 'new romantic's movement's responsible for wussifying men, with songs like "Don't you want me baby", but I don't think David Bowie's responsible (don't think he's a "new romantic") Last edited by brendannz; 11-28-2009 at 10:46 AM. | |

Actually Bowie didn't sing many songs about "love". He didn't sing many songs about anything because he would write tons of poetry, cut up the lines with scissors, rearrange the lines from other lines that had been cut out from previous poems, and then get his lyrics from that (shown here, at the end of the first video): YouTube - David Bowie: Cracked Actor Part 2/5 YouTube - David Bowie: Cracked Actor Part 3/5 He definitely blurred the boundaries of androgyny, but he could have just about any woman he wanted, just by being himself. Not by begging. Of course, by the time "Let's Dance" came around, he completely changed because he was tired of not having number 1 hits, so he started following the crowd instead of leading, and most people think Let's Dance was his last significant album, mostly downhill from there, with the exception of a few interesting songs and projects. As far as the new romantics in general, it's hit or miss. Some of the songs are wussified, some aren't. All I can think of, is the guys singing those songs were sleeping with multiple women around the clock, so maybe the lyrical content isn't all that genuine (to them). In that case, I appreciate the song's production and pretend the lyrics are different.  Whether other people take it at face value, is another story. Maybe that's more info than you wanted but I can't help myself. Last edited by cylon; 11-28-2009 at 07:56 PM. | |

Chris Thile is one of my favorite musicians. He's a mandolin player who's a master in pretty much every musical area. Check out these clips... Amazing! Classical: YouTube - Chris Thile, E Major Prelude - Michael Lawrence Films Bach Project Bluegrass/Celtic: YouTube - Fisher's Hornpipe - Mike Marshall & Chris Thile |

I think music branches in two directions the singer songwriter or bands writing thier own songs where the audience feels a part of themselves in the band on stage or the dance / disco / techno / pop direction where the focus is more on the community and everyone being their own star, where the lyrical focus is less important. Like I think Boy George said Karma Cameleon was just a good beat but the lyrics are meaningless garbage... I guess the two directions can mix and match Quote:

Bowie distanced himself from that in a 1983 interview with Rolling Stone, saying his earlier declaration of bisexuality was "the biggest mistake I ever made".[83] In 1993, he made the claim that he had always been a "closet heterosexual", and that his interest in homosexual and bisexual culture was more a product of the times and situation than his own feelings. Bowie stated, "It wasn't something I was comfortable with at all."[84] --that's from wikipedia. So he might have been bi. He's married to Iman, and has a kid with her, so if he's gay he sure snagged a good beard. Quote:
If you're talking about straight-up rave music, sure there is some fluff in there, like anything else. A lot of that is manufactured quickly to be disposed of quickly, like the Jonas Brothers or Brittney Spears. Last edited by cylon; 11-29-2009 at 07:40 PM. | ||

I think John Lennon was a trysexual, and it was thought that he experimented with the Beatles' gay manager, (though not known) Last edited by brendannz; 11-29-2009 at 11:44 PM. | |
