  • Mr. Bowie discusses his visual and video image in an interview for the BBC's marathon 'Video Jukebox' documentary, first shown in May 1986. The full version with the promo videos intact got banhammered straight away, so I've edited out as much of the music as possible in an attempt to circumvent the wrath of the narky copyright gods. It sort of ruins the point of the entire exercise, but that's showbiz, folks...

      It is not physical perfection. It MUST be something else. Maybe a mixture of selfconfidence without being arrogant combined with the intellectual? Hard to say.

    Thanks for the upload! A really good interview.
    I thought, ah you've edited the music out, that's good because I've heard them a trillion times and then I read your description. hehe
    In later interviews he famously always said that this era, the 80's, he was least happy with artistically, but he really looks at peace here. He'd earned millions of his last tour, this might've had something to do with it.
    Blue Jean, Loving the Alien, This is Not America are among my personal favorites from the 80's. Not forgetting ofc Let's Dance & China Girl & Time Will Crawl. I could go on and on..
    PS I know Bowie really stood by the eighties stuff because he played them live much later on in his career.

    Thanks for uploading this. I remember watching it as a 15 year old when it was first shown. I've watched a lot of Bowie interviews since then but I still think this is him at his most interesting and charismatic.

    I really love this interview. Him reflecting on his past work from the 70s and how his mind has changed since then, how he feels more comfortable in his own skin as a performer, how he thinks about societal problems in relation to his work... Everything that comes out of his mouth is so thoughtful and insightful... I personally like his hair and outfit in this too... And his laugh at 7:49 is so charming! Thanks for the upload :)

    The man giving the introduction was John Walters. Very funny & entertaining was Mr Walters , a bit like a more gregarious Stephen Smith of Newsnight. Apart from fronting TV progs he was John Peel's producer and ( according to Morrissey) was the one who actually saw the Smiths play live & booked the for a session.

    • @soundhog09
      @soundhog09  5 лет назад +1

      Indeed. Walters did a lot more to shape Peel's shows during the '70s than people might think.

    This is the only hairstyle I don't like on David.....still charisma and magnetism coming out of every orifice even with that ridiculous jumper one of which I had which was very similar to that in the 80s at 17...
