Indexing due for #davidbowieandromanticism today. Final grades due too :). My eyes are bleeding. I am chained to my desk today, all day. Things went south after an initial warm reception for #neverletmedown, and by that point David Bowie had become sick of being David Bowie. He was sick of the commercialism and the way things were going for reception of his music. So he tossed it all and joined a band, #tinmachine, and a band that was truly run democratically. He wasn’t in charge of this. His new guitar player, one who had maybe the longest continual run in Bowie‘s career, and I think the only one who actually quit on him, #reevesgabrels, joined with rhythm section players #huntsales and #tonysales whom #bowie we had met up with during collaborations with @iggypop to create with Bowie a real rock band. I would say the Tin Machine albums were received even worse than anything else Bowie did in the 80s. But retrospectively, I wish more people would give this #slbum more credit as an early #grunge album, one that was a bit more experimental than most other bands during this period largely due to Gabrels - it almost mixes grunge and industrial, and and this is in #1989. Hardly sold and Bowie fans mostly hated it, but he was doing new music again. Bowie never looked back on this. In any interview I’ve ever read negatively, however. He said it was great for him and absolutely necessary to get him started again, and it certainly did that, because he had a massive creative output in the #1990s. Hunt and Tony sales, by the way, are actually the sons of comedian #soupysales, which means they were both Americans and totally freaking psycho. Bowie loved this energy. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinyljunkie #vinyljunkies #music #classicrock #80s #80smusic #80srock #rock #rocknroll #rockandroll #rockmusic #rockandromanticism #newrock #hardrock #davidbowieandromanticism (at Manatee Cove) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfjj-PKOiuQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
