So David M. is considering doing his "small salute" to David Bowie, a 35 minute set, as a busked, pre-show addition to the night at the Rickshaw Bowie Tribute Night, tonight. All proceeds will go to the charity in question, it's not about money. I've seen the set and it's great. Not sure if it's going to happen or not, but it might be worth showing up a bit early - say, at 6:10 - in case it goes ahead... if not, you can always go get some Chinese food or somethin'...Of course, the event has drawn some controversy on Facebook, a whiff of which was below - one band has had a problem with sharing a bill with burlesque performers. But that seems to have settled down, with the controversial post disappearing sometime overnight, and with the alleged web manager of davidbowie.com weighing in on the side of the burlesque performers... it was nasty, it was interesting, and it was very, very Vancouver.
Apologies to Tom Charity, but I don't think I'm going to be at The Reflecting Skin tonight...
The "small David Bowie salute" happened at around 6:40, under the Rickshaw marquee, in a Vancouver drizzle. Ozzy was there, completely naked. It was a kind of David Bowie sidewalk burlesque, only much much sexier than humanly possible, and now it's over. Anything for a thrill!
