I would love to read the treatment for the China Girl video.

They must have been doing some crazy peyotes during the whole process.

let’s dance was considered by many a betrayal & sell-out by bowie – formerly the waaay out there ziggy stardust, this was … well … a dance album, watered down for the radio market. among his most hated albums, but still the songs are great. you probably remember “let’s dance”: “put on your red shoes and dance the blues:”

Just listened — knew every note and could sing along with the sax solo :) Video was not as obnoxious as most 80s videos. Think he could have any more effects on his voice? heheh.

I never heard the other two songs before. Guess my crappy radio station 690am “The Mighty Six-Ninety” didn’t play them.

Still rock and roll to me! I remember when that played on the radio every five minutes! Haven’t thought of it since. :) Can’t wait to watch the video. “how about a pair of cheap sidewinders and a bright orange pair of pants? you could really be a Beau Brummel baby if something something something…” (I think that’s how it goes)
