í beg nobody's pardon for the insertion of a little Bowie/Canine/Herb Ritts Frink...

The only serious rival to Morrissey's position as Greatest Male Hairdo in the World in the years 1988~1991 was the Dame.

And here is Bowie striking an Elvis pose, by Herb Ritts again, Los Angeles, CA, 1987 ~

agree. But we both know why he likes it, and that’s good enough for me.

How if next tour he does a bit of Ganglord that segues into In The Ghetto?

:pray::)
I blame Priscilla.

He did a short a capella bit of Wooden Heart in Cologne last March, except he sang "wooden head" instead. :lbf:

And it's intentional, right? There's no way anyone can forget the lyrics accidentally. :lbf:
Yes, definitely intentional. The way he emphasised the "head" made that very clear.
 
Some Moz/Bowie cross-over-pollination Frink ~

Alas, Smith & Jones...

I'd never seen this!


It really would have made perfect sense in a way and he was into the idea for quite a while. I know I keep going on about it but I really believe that his Eurovision obsession (which peaked in 2006/07) has influenced him a lot, especially on World Peace.

It's probably still a good thing he never competed, he would have been disappointed that it's not like this anymore:

I'd agree - there's a definite Euro-ballad feel to a lot of the tracks on World Peace.

I love that almost-mohawk-cut he had going on in '84.

I predict a mullet-mohawk combo
for the 2021 shows. It’s the only move that would make sense these days.


:pray:
The Mozhawk - the only thing that can save us in 2021. :pray:
