BING CROSBY - Merry Ole Christmas - WHOLE SHOW - 11 September 1977 (David Bowie) YouTube video by Tanaferry

As #StanleyBaxter leaves us, here he is playing a cast of supporting characters for Bing Crosby’s tv special. A great reminder of a fabulously gifted performer.

Better do something a bit more useful than just getting ‘pissed’. And I don’t mean take up arms either.

Criminally underrated and largely ignored by those db superfans who struggle to notice that his musical output extended beyond 1980. 🙄 #bowieforever

30 seconds to make a small donation to an entirely volunteer operated and donations funded organisation.

Today of all days it’s a small but important thing to consider doing.

A rather dangerous one too.

An hour of greatness, in the company of the truly legendary #RobertPlant, at Kingston’s Circuit earlier tonight.

Huge thanks to #BanquetRecords for arranging yet another outstanding promo gig.

Samaritans facing volunteer exodus over proposed branch closures Opponents fear plans to close more than100 branches could put the charity’s ability to answer calls in doubt.

It’s as if the #Samaritans has been acquired by Private Equity…

Utterly tone deaf leadership at the charity whose very purpose is to listen…😔

David Bowie's final project was a musical set in London Shortly before his death, the star wrote dozens of notes for a musical set in 18th Century London.

Of course the idea has been explored by others….

Is this the city that people are terrified to visit (the one with the overwhelming majority of friendly, helpful citizens, proud, law-abiding and respectful of others)? #London

Rappers and musicians upsetting mum and dad again this weekend. Some disagreeable stuff for sure, but pop acts have always found ways to nake mischief for publicity…

Trump’s casino rococo White House and the politics of ornamentation The President’s addition of gold flourishes is a cliché of a rich person’s home — and raises questions about decoration in the age of $1 Chinese swag

@financialtimes.com’s Edwin Heathcote peels the backing off El Presidente’s stultifyingly tacky White House makeover.

Opinion | America’s least American president Donald Trump isn’t making America great again. He’s making it into something else entirely.

“He wants to do to America what Musk did to Twitter: turn it into something different, that serves his political allies and is subject to the arbitrary power of an autocrat.”

This is one of the many reasons why 19th Century free traders like Winston Churchill hated tariffs.

It all decays into deeply corrupt, hidden, capricious deal making between the executive & powerful interests.

or maybe, instead of solving a decades-old medical mystery in just a few months, they’ll fabricate something that makes the Q’ers swoon and endangers vaccine access. so if there’s anything you or your family needs, do it now.

Trump Close to Winning Concessions From More Law Firms Four or five firms could soon agree to deals that would be unveiled as a package, in an escalation of the president’s crackdown on an industry that has drawn his ire.

Fools and cowards, every one.

Exactly, fraudulent asshole.

The idiotic fawning over DJT’s feeble climb down tonight is almost peak #TrumpDerangementSyndrome.

Still further to go no doubt, as his sharkskin suited & expensively coiffed acolytes continue demeaning themselves intellectually & morally.

God bless America, it certainly needs a helping hand. 🤦🏼‍♂️

He’s no Brandreth

Utterly deranged.

I’m guessing Greenlanders also love the “concept of Greenland” 😬

My dad took me to watch him perform one evening in the 70s. I was too young to really appreciate what I was seeing/hearing, but decades later so grateful to the old man for that bit of musical education.

The best of humanity right there 🐕 🐾 🍲 🤗

So there we have it…now and openly without question, Putin owns the White House.
