⚡️David Bowie with Aboriginal dancer Joelene King while filming Let's Dance in 1983.. ⚡️ Every year on this day we post the same photograph.. this year is no different.. 🖤☀️❤️ Here's some insight into Bowies video for Let's Dance: "In the 1983 video of Let's Dance, a young Aboriginal couple dances in the typical, smoke-filled outback pub of Carinda NSW while Bowie famously sings "put on your red shoes and dance the blues". To Bowie, Carinda – then with a population of 40 – had a "frankly brute character". "As much as I love this country," he told Rolling Stone magazine in 1983, "it's probably one of the most racially intolerant in the world, well in line with South Africa. I mean, in the north, there's unbelievable intolerance." Those red dancing shoes were more than a scarlet innuendo..."
