Happy Birthday David Bowie!

Posted at 9:33 AM on January 8, 2010 by Jim McGuinn (1 Comments)

While we don't (yet) have the power to grant Worldwide Holiday Status to the birthdays of our favorite artists, in an ideal world, today would be Bowieday - a festive day in which everyone is encouraged to dress up in their favorite Bowie persona/outfit, and forge the ultimate career path, bouncing from style to style chameleon-like, going from innovator to sellout to elder hipster. Instead, we'll be featuring music all day today from the Thin White Duke's career, and to get you fired up, here's a smattering of vids from over the years.

check out this early version of Space Oddity (hello, Liam Gallagher's sunglasses)

At his peak - just before Ziggy exploded -

Our favorite bizarro holiday classic -

ok... how about David Bowie singing a duet with - Cher?

From the innovative "Berlin" period with Eno -

PS - oh, and it's some other guy named Elvis' birthday today too. He was pretty good for a while, although like Bowie, his movies? Not usually so good...
