Description
Visual artist Rowan Harrison joins me to put on our red shoes and dance the blues to David Bowie’s 1983 post-disco, new wave, funk-pop masterpiece, Let’s Dance.
From Bowie's desire to make a solid dance record to his use of music videos as social commentary, we chat all about the album's infectious rhythms and massive success that led to Bowie's "Phil Collins years" that followed.
Sharp suits and pompadours are not required, but they're definitely encouraged as we discuss an artist's evolution, the struggle to stay relevant, the challenges of innovation, and how we define mainstream in hindsight.
