In the Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy documentary, Hunky Dory took a bit of a slagging as a so-so effort pre-Ziggy. That seemed pretty harsh to me, although I knew a couple of blokes who were so ridiculously into it in the late 70's, when London was spawning a new band every month, that I got turned against it somewhat. It's a really good album, even if the next few he was involved in were better (IMO).

A stepping stone to Ziggy and all that came thereof.

If you assess it as if it is the only LP ever made by Bowie,
Hunky Dory is miles above the collective content produced
by many artists over a long career.
 
It's my Birthday today, clue is in the song , I used to listen to the lyrics of My Generation by the Who , "hope I die before I get old " naa I'll settle for another 25 years at least

Or we could move onto 81 and marvel at the beauty of these songs that unbelievably were hits 40 years ago!

Neil Young has sold his song rights for....$150m.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55557633

It's a bit of an upgrade on Dave selling his jacket and recently, a signed copy of 'Ain't No Sanity Clause' on ebay for £330...

Just before Christmas, The Damned roadies sold off a load of new, old stock gig T shirts, just to get some income. We bought a number of them, including a glow in the dark 'Loco-A-Go-Go' beauty for me to replace a dying one. That has to be 20, at least, just for me, I reckon..and the same again for Mrs B. Probably time to do a count up...
