Even though they called it Glam Rock, I still bought that album

Great album for sure. And produced by Bowie.
I still listen to it and I love the Sweet Jane cover.

Oh! For the longest time, I thought this song was done by Bowie. Now I know why?

I'm with you, love that entire album. Ian Hunter has such a great voice.

Bowie used to perform All The Young Dudes live frequently. It's on one of his live albums and it's very good.

Well Bowie wrote All The Young Dudes (as well as producing the album), and there is a Bowie recording of it somewhere - he just felt the song was better for Hunter.

Mildly interesting factoid: the song "Once Bitten Twice Shy" was written by Ian Hunter, but is perhaps best remembered as a cover (the version by Great White).

I was 1. Okay, I was 2 for the last few of 1975, but let's not get too picky about it.

9/9/1956 Elvis first time on Ed Sullivan Show.

This performance is cemented in the annals of rock music history because of the censors' decision to shoot Elvis only from the waist up.

Death of the legendary "Chairman Of The Boards" Moses Malone at 60.

To me, his nickname will always be "Fo', fo', fo'."

 

[Kolchak357]

Met Moses back in 1983. I was about 13 yrs old at the time. I will never forget how big a man he was. He was very nice to me and my bother and took the time to shake our hands and have a few words with us. Lived in northeast Philly as kid and grew up loving all the Philly teams. When he came to the Sixers it was like a guarenteed championship. Such a dominating rebounder I had never seen before.
