Amy Winehouse - Free Nelson Mandela

A glowing Amy Winehouse bounced back from her recent health problems to sing at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert in Hyde Park tonight. The 24-year-old singer belted out renditions of her hit songs Valerie and Rehab in front of the 46,664-strong crowd in the capital.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

Stray Cat Blues -- The Rolling Stones

Cool for Cats -- Squeeze

Pussy Galore -- Lee Perry

You Look Like a Jew -- Pussy Galore

Sex Boy -- Free Kitten

Footstompin' -- David Bowie, being a total pro while about five seconds away from a total psychotic break**, and probably making Luther Vandross nervous. Because something appears to be.

**ON EDIT: And WHAT ON EARTH might have been fracturing his mind? No obvious clues in that extremely painful little interview. Poor guy. Oh, well. At least he survived.

Let's watch him put his early training in mime to work in the service of accenting the political implications of Young Americans a little earlier in the show.

Serious mime skills are probably a good thing to acquire early in life, now that I come to think of it. You never know if you might lose your voice while singing "1984" on Dick Cavett and -- still having to get through two more songs and an interview somehow -- find that you actually need to bring the mime. Especially if the cocaine has in all likelihood been preventing you from eating or sleeping for several months.

So it's all good. And I feel much better now. Thanks.

THE DICK CAVETT SHOW
Episode No.1539, Season No.7.
Filmed at the ABC Studios, New York, on 2nd December 1974.


Well, that was a heavy year for Bowie:

"Bowie asked someone for a mezuzah, a talisman against demons used by Qabalists. In April 1974, Angie Bowie received a phone call from her husband in LA, who claimed that he was kidnapped by a magician and his two witches who wanted to steal his sperm. Allegedly, they intended to befather a Baby for Rosemary. Angie Bowie reacted reluctantly: 'Believing he was held captive by a warlock and...he was to inseminate the whatever by All Hallows' Eve. I told him, I said, "why did they bother to hold you captive, they just needed to ask."... I never bought his stories. Never. Flying all the way to Los Angeles for him to invent some hallucination, drug-induced, about witches and warlocks. Please!'"

Quicksand


I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying
Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore

Not the CD that comes with this, irritatingly enough. It's a little early to start calling England, tho.

The Bewlay Brothers

I've always suspected him of secretly being himself on that song, which would just be so, so sad, if true. Painfully sad.

Hedgehoppers Anonymous/Jonathan King - Complete Collection [2001]

Known originally as the Trendsetters, this five piece was discovered by producer Jonathan King just as they changed their name to Hedgehoppers, in reference to the fact that the entire band consisted of Royal Air Force pilots (whose reputation for low flying, or "hedge-hopping," was infamous). King suggested the addition of "Anonymous," and set to recording them. "It's Good News Week" was the first result, a catchy and satirical protest song that turned out to be their one hit (it has since been used, in a different version, for the theme song of an Australian TV comedy). Four other singles were released by the group before the final lineup dissolved. [Allmusic.com]
