defrogre: our US tour in October (which I was supposed to be doing a series about, but was too busy with other things to get around to until now):
The tour began in Chicago, which was notable for a few things:
1. Devil Dawgs, which is perfect when yr jetlagged and in need of hot dogs at 1am.
2. The White Palace Grill, which made for a nice brunch thanks to Mr John Meadows.
3. The David Bowie Is exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, which we saw with Mr Rich MF Hall.
It was pretty cool – it’s only part of the full exhibit, but it does a good job of showing how Bowie’s various influences ended up shaping his shift from David Jones to Ziggy Stardust and beyond.
So you get lots of costumes and handwritten lyrics and interactive exhibits playing videos of performances and interviews as you walk up to them and so on. There’s also a section for his film activities, which includes his Goblin King scepter from Labyrinth and a letter from Jim Henson, etc. I confess I was expecting more guitars. But that's a mjnor quibble.
All up, it was well worth the price of admission and the exorbitant parking fees.
Sound + vision,
This is dF
