HOW BOWIE WAVED BYE BYE TO THE 70S ON SNL “And now he is a puppet dancer...” Last month Rolling Stone voted David Bowie’s 1979 appearance on Saturday Night Live, #1 of The 50 Best ‘Saturday Night Live’ Musical Performances. And deservedly so. It was forty-five years ago today that a whole new persuasion of young Americans was converted to the cause by that very broadcast. For it was on 15th December 1979 that the live broadcast in New York had a similarly persuasive effect on a receptive group of US youngsters as Starman on TOTPs in 1972 and the BBC’s Cracked Actor documentary had on UK teenagers in 1975. Of course, the TV-viewing youth of America looking for something new had already had their hearts and minds captured by broadcasts of both The 1980 Floor Show and The Ziggy Stardust Motion Picture more than half a decade earlier, but the SNL appearance helped to cast the net further. Bowie performed The Man Who Sold The World, TVC 15 and Boys Keep Swinging, with Klaus Nomi, Joey Arias and a toy pink poodle/TV monitor all making extraordinary guest appearances. The show was hosted by actor Martin Sheen. For The Man Who Sold The World Bowie was lifted and positioned in front of the microphone by Klaus and Joey in a costume designed by Mark Ravitz and Bowie, inspired by Sonia Delaunay’s designs for Tristan Tzara’s 1923 play Le Cœur à gaz (The Gas Heart). The skirt suit that David wore for TVC 15 was designed by Brooks Van Horn costume house, New York. The song also showcased aforementioned pink TV poodle. For Boys Keep Swinging DB operated a puppet while utilising green-screen technology to hilarious effect. In an absurd move the show’s producers blanked the line “Other boys check you out” but seemingly missed the puppet’s obvious excitement at the climax of the song. Words cannot do Bowie’s SNL appearance justice, suffice to say, it remains among the most surreal television performances broadcast anywhere, ever. If you've never seen this piece of TV history, prepare to be captivated by all three songs courtesy of a full @NachosVideos remaster here: video.wixstatic.com/video/8c4f6c_7… While you’re there, read his own notes regarding the broadcast and associated credits. #BowieSaturdayNigthLive #BowieSNL #Bowie1979 #NachoBowie
Wow!! What a capture from @DynamicScotland 🤩 📸 On Friday night he could clearly see the milky way with the naked eye over the #Glencoe mountains - incredible!
NEW: Tommy Robinson has spread disinformation about a stabbing in Stirling, claiming the attacker was an "alleged Muslim". On Sunday, Police Scotland confirmed a white man local to the area had been arrested in connection with the crime.

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore. The BBC say the documentary only makes people angry. The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are. So do you care? Feel free to RT to show that you do.

I'm married to a very 'careful' Yorkshire man who put the heating on for 10 minutes to take the chill out of the house for my mum. We've just come in 4 hours later with my 85 year old mother on top of her quilt, sweating and all the windows open. He's fucking devastated.
The vast majority of new oil & gas will be exported abroad & sold at global prices. It won't improve our energy security, and it won't make our energy bills cheaper either. What it will do is wreck our climate - and Rishi Sunak is complicit in its damage. Spot on @ZackPolanski 👇

This is a brilliant overview of how the use of the private sector fundamentally undermines the NHS by @DrAmirKhanGP #SaveOurNHS
The govt has announced greater involvement of the private sector in the NHS, supposedly to tackle waiting lists @DrAmirKhanGP provides an excellent explanation about why using the private sector undermines the NHS still further (and hastens its demise)
