Mulligan Stew Jan 8th 2022- Happy Birthday Elvis and David Bowie! (Special Guest-David Bowie)
hello
When you think about the history of popular music – especially Rock & Roll, the names of Elvis Presley and David Bowie are always at the top of the list. Amazingly, they were born on the same day Jan 8 – Elvis in 1935 and David Bowie 1947.
I thought it was time to have a listen to artists influenced by both.
Everyone has a little Elvis in them. From The Clash to Bruce Springsteen. Bowie’s influence wasn’t just with words and music. David showed that you could write and become a character. Then change that character every several years. Elvis stayed Elvis right up to the end. Bowie was constantly changing and bringing his fans along with him.
The feature includes artists influenced by both.
For Elvis – Paul Simon, Ry Cooder, Billy Cowsill, Clapton, Norah Jones (Little Willies), and Bob Dylan.
For David Bowie – Queen, Mott the Hoople, Peter Gabriel, Natalie Merchant, Rickie Lee Jones.
PLUS
And I found a small portion of a much longer interview I did with David Bowie many years ago. (Thanks to Duke for the audio save)
Bowie talks about leaving his characters behind, his first impressions of touring the USA, and whether his fans have followed him through his various personas.
The Mulligan Stew Podcast is Brent Butt…who has hit the stand-up road again.
Jan 20 in Canmore and the 21st at the Arden.
