The Thin White Duke
by thoughtsonthedead
I’ll let the professionals eulogize the man, and explain him to us; enough to listen to what he thought, I always believed.
This is from his Berlin years: he was primarily composed of cocaine and advance copies of Vogue. Plus, he was living with Iggy Pop and weighed 94 pounds.
He still looked better than you.
(Also, the band he has here is an absolute Murder’s Row featuring the angular Adrian Belew playing the impossible parts. There is also a Brecht/Weill cover and a violinist in aviator shades. Again: cocaine.)
Thoughts on the Dead 
Big fan of Adrian Belew. Talking Heads, Zappa, King Crimson, Bowie…….
Check this set out: Belew’s a killer and the rest of the band is nuts
I will, this video is new to me!
Simon House (violin) played with Hawkwind(Lemmy).
Mr. Bowie’s personal assistant on this tour was “Mr. Coco Schwab.”
Can’t make it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolar_II_%E2%80%93_The_1978_World_Tour
Corry, that’s Miss Coco Schwab third from left
Adrian lived in Ohio in the 80’s, (maybe he still does)
He did this little Popish thing called the Bears, played really small and smaller places, it was both neat to see him play in tiny venues, but it made you wonder what the heck was up with that, but then again it was 1985/86 folks where into Duran Duran or something, I dunno.
Man this show is good, thanks..
