Mon Idée Fixe=My obsessions. Professional author, writer, blogger, ghost writer, mother, wife, and lunatic. I write about what I want not what I must. If something catches my fancy I'll write about it here & hope it catches yours too! I have a wide range of interests & write about about it all! I hope you enjoy my blog and stop by often!
No, I'm not referring to myself (though I'll fully admit I am a Queen Bitch when need be) I'm referring to the David Bowie song. This song keeps coming up -- on a film advertisement (no clue which one, I get too excited hearing the song and jump up and dance when it comes on), on Pandora Radio (it was decided that a "bippity boppity hat" is quite desirable!), and the talk of "Queens" (immediately making me think of this song) on Wendy Brandes' Blog. Considering the inundation of the song, I figured maybe I should post a video. So here is a "Nostalgic Music" post for you to enjoy!
If you like live rehearsal video, this is a fantastic clip of "Queen Bitch" and my personal fav "Rebel, Rebel" ("naughty, naughty, naughty!) The Thin White Duke tour also features an acquaintance!
Recently one of the IFB projects was "Independence" and while I thought about it -- was it my first car? My first grown-up clothes I bought myself? Of course I missed the deadline. Then last night it came to me. My independence came because of music. Music set me free, I could be who I wanted, when I wanted and didn't give a fig what anyone thought. I could dress any way that pleased me going from style to style with ease and a sense of curiosity and happiness. I lived a rock n' roll lifestyle (guess I still do to a degree) and wish I could tell you all the fantastic things I saw and did! And I rebelled at every chance I could, usually in the name of all of the injustice in the world.
One song in particular really resonated with me. "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie. I was a teen when it came out and pronounced to everyone that it was MY song! Below is a clip (sorry if I posted before) of Bowie during his Halloween Jack phase singing the song.
A few years back he redid the song, entitling it "Rebel Never Gets Old" which is the honest truth. Once a rebel always a rebel, and I'm here to prove it! Note the appearance of the Union Jack jacket made by Alexander McQueen makes an appearance.
