Congestion Before A Period

David Bowie and France

In 77, Bowie is a huge star in England and begins to penetrate the U.S. permanently. Paradoxically, the Thin White Duke is almost unknown in France. So he goes to see Michel Drucker a Sunday afternoon. My God, how beautiful it is, Bowie!

Top 72, England was hit by a revival in the fifties glitz, the glam rock! Slade, Sweet, Gary Glitter are the main representatives with a cut above, Roxy Music and T. Rex and of course, David Bowie in one of his most famous mutations (see the trilogy Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs). The evaporated
Glam, Bowie is taking different paths, but does not in France. He crossed the Atlantic ocean liner - he's afraid of the plane and obtains a much more convincing than successful Roxy or Mac Bolan. Her first real hit is a song co-written with an expatriate Renowned John Lennon. Fame takes first place in the billbooard 75. Master stroke!
Bowie remembers France, he refined man, and there appears Thin White Duke - perhaps not a coincidence - his new avatar for the album Station to Station. A concert is given, its first in France, the La Villette slaughterhouses in 76 (distasteful?). The room is full. It is a challenge because Bowie is a UFO for the French. The Glam Rock was for them something for gays and twinks with Patrick Juvet seized. The shift of soul Young Americans was incomprehensible, the French disregarded black music in Philadelphia. S tion to Station , an album for a chapel.
Heroes, post punk opus combining sophistication and modernism, conquered the French and Michel Drucker (there was even a French version of the title track). Is that a new alchemy is said in France: punk + opening for rock culture media (press, TV and radio). And here, our beautiful David on TV hexagonal plates. Beginning of a love story?
Drucker, not yet 60 years of TV, floundering in her English property and incorrectly calculates the star before him (as there are still two artists who dominated the '70s in the United Kingdom: David Bowie and Elton John.) Drucker oscillates between pro and questions franchouille nice. Bowie is courteous, gentle, almost accessible. It responds like a nice guy without arrogance, and he understands the situation. Her short hair, her lack of makeup and outrageous its apparent simplicity makes it awfully tempting. He has flirted with all limits, all the excesses that accompanied every musical experiences in the seventies as completing know how to do very large: Miles Davis, Picasso ...
After the TV show, Bowie will give two concerts at the Abattoirs ( yes, again!) in 77 as part of the promotional tour for the album Heroes . Unforgettable concerts - a double live Stage , rack soon after (see below).
Then, Bowie will return to France often and he will fly to the sky world stars with "Let's dance."

Rock is dead at 77 (Part 1) Bob Dylan and

Crosby, Stills and Nash Grammy in 1977

This moment is rather curious. Crosby, Stills and Nash, three players against the symbolic culture of the late sixties, have the best album of the year Grammy in 1977.

few years ago, CSN had the finesse to create "protest songs" to the poetic lyrics but sophisticated accessible melodies and catchy. They built their composition four major genres: folk, rock, country and pop. The skillful weaving their voices to different tessitura became their brand image. They succeeded commercially where Dylan has failed. We see here in Tuxedo chapters before doing the showbiz disciplined as children. What happened between Woodstock (69) and this time 77? Their careers are in decline, they live on their image and evoke humor who has not given up, Neil Young.

Equally interesting are the nominated albums:
- Aja Steely Dan of comes after reaching the musical form that Fagen and Becker are at 10 years: a sophisticated groove rock seen by a monocle ... jazzy Intelligence not hurting anyone.
- JT of James Taylor caressing the last of the U.S. charts with the hit opportunistic "Your Smiling Face" last throw of the kidneys before dark.
- Hotel California Eagles of the big box of the year, what would have become CSN, variety dylanienne that flatters the American way of life.
- Rumors of Fleetwood Mac, album iconic music Californian also huge cardboard, produced by an English blues band that has crossed the Rubicon.
And music from the movie Star Wars - it was also true that year!

To touch briefly the context of this period, both sides of the Atlantic are buffeted by the wave punk past two years (Clash, Sex Pistols, Damned, Jam ... on English Television, Richard Hell, the Heartbreakers, Ramones, Talking Heads, Mink Deville ... U.S. side), epiphenomenon in financial terms, earthquake ideological Rick Wakeman says that after punk, it became impossible to continue what had been done before. End of term for many groups: Yes, ELP, Jethro Tull ... orientation or popular variety Santana, Chicago ... But here, we do not care. The protection seems thick.

Everyone knows there is a time when the musical art ceases to be a tool of protest, a subversive appeal, decrypting a look, a light to the soul. The music becomes a commodity calibrated reflected more concern about the perception of the broadcast. It calls it Pop.

There was rock history in this passage where those who embodied the subversion allowed themselves heavily seduced by the songs of the facility, the fabricated variety rock and destroyed hope. 77 is the final course, the point of no return, it is also the name of the first album the Talking Heads.
