practicality: (Rufus // Fallen Prince)
So, Ben and I were watching VH1's 'Top 40 Freakiest Concert Moments' because there's nothing else good on TV at midnight and we were bored. And one of them was David Bowie getting hit in the eye with a lolipop thrown by someone in the crowd. And as I was watching this, I realized that while I don't really like his music ('The Man Who Sold the World' is the only song I can think of that I like. Well, and 'Under Pressure', but that's Queen, too. And it's the 'Ice Ice Baby' song), and I don't find him really that attractive - not bad looking, but not really my thing - but I really, really like his hair. A quick Google image-search revealed that the reason for this is that I am a sucker for long bangs on guys - see Asher, Leon, Rufus, Isaac, etc. And David Bowie had that long-bang, side-part flippy-thing going on in the video clip, and it makes me melt into a puddle of happy goo.

Some day, my hair will be that beautifully awesome. This is my new goal. (And I suppose I should mention that I also find that style of haircut really hot on girls, too...). And some day, I will get around to actually posting about worthwhile things instead of how enamoured I am with David Bowie's hair. And I dunno, actually get something accomplished. Maybe.

Hehe, I'd do David Bowie.

...I would somewhat grudgingly agree, I think. I suspect I would like him more than I do if my ex-girlfriend hadn't been _totally and utterly obsessed_ with him - hearing how 'OMGhot!' he was got really, really annoying. But man, does he have nice hair.

Under Pressure is not "the Ice Ice Baby" song. :/ d00000d...

Under Pressure came first, and if you ask Vanilla Ice (I believe this has been done in interviews) he apparently will tell you there is a subtle difference between the bass lines. :(

Queen + David Bowie >> crappy white rap (with the exception of "GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!")

yeah, the 'subtle difference' is that he added a tiny beat

No, I know which came first XD; But I'm always amused that it's the song that got ripped off to make Ice Ice Baby, which amuses the _hell_ out of me.

Freddie Mercury died a little that day.

...and then he died of AIDS a year later. XD

VH1 was making their way through 'Queen's Greatest Hits' for the background music of that particular countdown, and Ben went 'Stupid Freddie Mercury...why'd he have to go and get AIDS?' XD;

Hahahahaha, so true. :/ Makes me sad every time I think about all the people Freddie Mercury collaborated with, and how David Bowie and Elton John are still around, but he isn't. ;_______; *cry*

I think David Bowie is one of those artists, like U2, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Rolling Stones, that will never age or die and just hang around for decades and decades. They're aliens from another planet or something.

David Bowie looks like a grungy dyke you might meet at a leather bar. Really, I spent the first half of Labyrinth believing he was a woman.

I...haven't even seen all of Labyrinth. Much to most of my friends' dismay. He does look kind of like a woman at times, though, yse.

Until you saw his package. XD

It was a moment of most distressing revelation for me, yes. XD
