Destination Planet Earth Dept.
Did you miss this two-night concert review of David Bowie at LA's Wiltern Theatre? You shouldn't have, this is how concert reviews should be written -- with joy and fear of falling into the abyss and trepidation and an honest sense of awe when the band is right.
Bowie: Night One
Bowie: Night Two
[comment added to text 02-17-04 because I'm having problems with the comments boxes again and I don't want to lose this lovely response which I forwarded on to the author of the concert reviews, the Princess of the Verbal Punch, Ms. Margaret Cho. Besides if it's posted here, you might just read it. Maybe I'll do this with all the comments fit to print, because that's what blog experts recommend and, well, look at the title, it is my blog afterall.]

I really enjoyed reading your review on David Bowie's performances. I got to say your review was less of a "review" than it was, at one point, a poignant poetic verse paying homage to a great man's exisitence.
If it is true that God is within us and that we are all a reflection of God's creation, then David Jones is the greatest example of God on earth in that he expresses that inexhaustible creative life force within us so exquisitely and powerfully; making life worth living for him, and I'm certain, for a great many Others.
I saw him -front row-at the Wiltern on Saturday, and though I am still grieving the fact that he did not take the rose that I kept on trying to hand to him (what the hell was I thinking anyhow), I experienced God in the most amazing way I believe one is supposed to: through the inexhaustible life force of music and song, and David Bowie.
