Rule Britannia
How clever am I? For Day one of Bowie Madness, you get Cher and Bowie. For day two, you get 1973 Bowie singing a Sunny and Cher song with Marianne Faithfull. And god almighty, is this not the craziest video ever? Bowie's got angel wings on backwards and Marianne Faithfull in all her post Jagger-post custody battle-coked out glory, is dressed like...a nun? Is that what that is? I'm sure we can all agree though that the back up singers are the best part. So square, it hurts, they sing and wiggle around...but their wiggle is nothing compared to that of freaky Bowie's. God I love that man.
This was broadcast on NBC by the way, the same year that my Mom was graduating highschool. I can't imagine what my Grandfather must have thought.
England was fucked up in the 70's. I'm thankful for every minute of it.

Hey you!
Give me more Bowie! - I adore what you've found so far.. The medley with Cher is epic!
And I'm having abstinences after a shorter Marianne Faithfull obsession, and living with Bowie-monkey on my back constantly made them a match in heaven!
