What music are you listening to right now?

[Cannonball]

Scott Weiland?

I was kind of thinking in terms of MEGA-ICONS. Weiland was great, but he was a blip in music history compared to the legends of Bowie and Lemmy.

Agreed, Weiland was more of a blip.

In thinking of Scott, he probably took more from the book of Bowie than anyone. With constantly reinventing his look which at times bordered on the androgynous like David. Similar ways of expression.

Bassist - Gail Ann Dorsey lives down the street from me in Woodstock NY...

Bowie also bought property near there.. Never saw him - but friends did...

Some may argue that Lemmy wasn't a MEGA-ICON...

I know it's crazy - but not everyone knows Motorhead.. But those that do love the fukc out of them...

She's always amazing. But I especially love her in that live Heroes performance. She holds back so much...but yet gives it everything it needs.

Yup. Such a Bummer. RIP Glenn .


(although it continues to make me realize how much of a separate category Bowie is in. He just doesn't have peers. Not a critique of others... It's just different)

This song is actually based on a scene from the movie "leon: the professional"... kind of a weird place to find songwriting inspiration if you ask me...
