Two completely opposite people. Age. Sensibilities. Style. But Bing's daughter liked David Bowie, and told her dad to put him on the Christmas show, so he'd be more hip. Bowie wanted no part, but his mom loved Bing, so he did it for her. Hated Little Drummer Boy, so they wrote him a counterpoint song on the set, while everybody waited around. Somehow it just came together perfectly, the acting, humor, just the feel of it. The result: GOLD
And of course, success breeds imitation. Brilliant too.

Song for Bob Dylan
by David Bowie
Oh, hear this Robert Zimmerman
I wrote a song for you
About a strange young man called Dylan
With a voice like sand and glue
Some words had truthful vengeance
That could pin us to the floor
Brought a few more people on
And put the fear in a whole lot more

i may have been sworn to secrecy but i don't think so for this story. in the last century i worked for a company with a contract from the cdc to call people about kid's vaccinations (whether they had any etc). i became a "refusal converter", i didn't have to follow a script i just had to get the info from people whose numbers had been totally randomly generated by computer. so i tried a number a couple x and then a guy answered and i said we r calling about your kid's under 4 vaccinations. the guy said-"ma'am, we don't have any kid's under 4 here." i said---------------------r u johnny cash?  ?? he said "yes i am" and i said thank you very much for your time sir. |

wow--I had never seen or heard that one, Bev..you might be the winner!
Frank looks and sounds terrible---the u2 guy is maybe too cool
Still the one below made me really miss Sam's Dave, and should be a crowning embarrasment to every white person involved---there is soul somewhere?
