    Went to see him on tour back in the day and had the time of my life! Thanks for adding on the songs from back then was a hoot listening to it!

    Glad you enjoyed it. Where did you see Bowie play on that tour?

    Wait, is that Joey Ramone? Bowie and Joey?

    ... Technically, it's Boo-ee and Joo-ee.
  • DwDunphy · 8 months ago
    ...More technically, it's Joey and Jones. Of course, Davy Jones might have bones with that revelation.

    Isn't Bowie's son named Joey?

    That's Joey and Dee Dee Ramone in that picture, plus Vera, Dee Dee's wife, on the far right, and Linda Stein between Joey and Bowie.

    I think Bowie changed his name to "Bowie" because of Davy Jones already being popular through the Monkees, right?

    About two years ago, I was watching a re-run of American Bandstand and Dick Clark said "And here's the latest from David Boo-ee ... Fame." I always thought people said it that way because of the Bowie knife.

    What do you call one of those things that bobs up and down in the water? Or, rather, how do you spell that thing?

    Ha! That's a buoy.

    Yes! Thank you. I was drawing a blank.

    Thanks, Todd. I did notice you'd already posted this bootleg. I'm more than happy to be scooped.

    It's not my site, just one I check regularly. Someone codenamed "cygnet" does an incredible job with the site.

    Just clicked on the link re: the punk rock Quincy episode. TI also remember a TJ Hooker episode where Shatner & Zmed argue about music (Zmed, "Pat Benatar?" Shatner, "Who's he?"), but then they chase a suspect into a recording studio where upon hearing the band Zmed exclaims, " I never said I like punk rock." I would love to see that Quincy episode...

    I saw most of "Next Stop, Nowhere" last summer on Me TV, a station in Chicago that features nothing but old sitcoms and dramas, after seeing it in sections on YouTube the summer before. It's worth if if you can find it. As one YouTube commenter said, "These '80s punks sound more like Hollywood's idea of sinister '60s hippies when they speak."
