David Bowie - The Jean Genie (Live 1978)
"The Jean Genie" was the first "Aladdin Sane" song off the starting-blocks, written during the early days of Bowie's 1972 US tour, recorded at RCA's New York studios on Sixth Avenue on 6 October, and mixed in Nashville the following month.
The story goes that the song started life as "Bussin", an impromptu jam on the tour's chartered Greyhound between the first two concerts in Cleveland and Memphis, when Mick Ronson began picking out the chugging Bo Diddley style riff on his new Les Paul guitar.
Thirty years later, Bowie would describe "The Jean Genie" as a "smorgasbord of imagined Americana" and "my first New York song", revealing that he wrote the lyric to entertain Cyrinda Foxe, a key fi...

    I lost my dad yesterday after a 3 year battle with cancer, Bowie has always been a source of guidance for me and so I came here, this interview was something me and my dad would watch often. Although tragic, his death was peaceful and beautiful, I’d like to share the thoughts I wrote this morning; I’m not sure why… perhaps as a form of coping and also in the hope of someone else needs to see it. Big love to all. “I’m writing this paragraph, sitting in my front room the morning after my dad passed away. Me and Dave are watching some bullshit on TV, teetering back and forth between reminiscing on the old times but being too emotional to discuss them and silently just supporting one another. There’s a million thoughts running through my mind, Dave just cracked a joke and I’m laughing, which feels refreshing and a little bit guilty. Should I even be writing at a time like this? Could I not maybe leave it a week? Writing has always been a great way for me to rationalise my thoughts, in the good times and the bad, maybe some of this makes it into the book, maybe I think it’s all a bit too much and these thoughts are confined to the trash section of the notes app. Dad died peacefully, in the end. After his three years of fighting and battling relentlessly, prolonging his time by twice what he was told he had. Everything was as fine as it could’ve been, he’d been texting us all, annoying us as the usual, although we’d just released a song and he was sharing the shit out of that, like he always did, in fact, he constantly played my music, volume off, on repeat, thinking it helped with our streaming numbers. There was a sudden turn, ambulance was called and a few hours later we were told that nothing could be done. They say moments like this in life are impossible to deal with due to how heart-breaking-ly sad they are but dad’s passing was so heart-breaking-ly beautiful, that’s what’s so overwhelming, I guess if he had to die, I find peace in knowing he did so gracefully and surrounded by those he loved. I found out from Mum later on that day that during their last conversation, he said he knew that this was the time; which means a lot to me as he’d often express the wish to be able to face death full-on and accept it before it happened, he shared that overall he had no regrets and said “we got a lot wrong, but we got a hell of a lot right”. I’m eternally grateful we all arrived in time. We all said our goodbyes, Dad was conscious; managing to crack inside family jokes, his eyes had become a little blood-shot so he was adamant he wanted his sunglasses on, to him, style was everything. So there he was, shades on, cigarette in hand, playing bowie in the background, in his final act of strength, he lifted the oxygen mask off his face unassisted to grab us all to give us a kiss. My dad had his flaws, of course he did, we all do and the child-adoration of viewing your parents as flawless people had long passed through years of bemoaning the state of my room and the tattoos on my body. My dad stood for for choosing to live life. With compassion, excitement and fun. Most days were spent with sarcasm, satire and sponge-Bob quotes. With his illness he was brave; always choosing to worry about how we were dealing with his condition than how he was. It’s a funny thing, death, cause it just sort of happens doesn’t it? It’s an impossible thing to imagine and then there you are, continuing to live, even though the whole world has stopped. If there was one positive that came out of his illness, it allowed a window into having conversations that you’d never normally have. It takes a cancer diagnosis to make you speak about death, dreams and everything in-between. The conversations we had will stick with me forever and have given me a closure and a peace, knowing where he was at and how he felt; those parts, I will keep between us. I’ll take everything my dad stood for forward with me; the gratitude for our relationship and the memories of these first twenty-three years on this planet we shared will stay with me for however long I get on this floating rock, making sure while I can, to live a full life, which is maybe why I’m writing this now. So why am I sharing this? Well, more than anything I suppose the lesson my dad taught me was that life is for the living… in this ridiculous, crazy world, it is our responsibility to ourselves to fill our life with purpose and adventure, regardless of what’s going on, it’s in our hands to crack a joke, light a cigarette and play some hard-rock tunes around the ones we love, in the end, that’s what makes life special. “We’re not here forever, so don’t chase ghosts of the future, enjoy your todays as your tomorrows will take care of themselves”. - Stephen Abrams”

    I don’t get the praise. For someone who is reading a lot, especially philosophy lit, Bowie’s thinking is very plain. He didn’t say anything new or complicated here. I mean, haven’t you thought about life not having a purpose and stuff at least once in your life? And the rest of his rant was ideas of other people from the books. Where’s the intellect and wisdom yall talking about? Fans will be fans.

    I dip in and out of Bowie clips and interviews, and the more I see, the more I'm certain I really would have liked to have known him, although I'm not all certain I could've actually kept up. He reminds me of the very few people I've know that I've been friendly with, almost friends, but for the fact that I never got past the feeling of being somewhat awestruck. A very bright shining object, not quite within reach.
