Song of the Day: Andy Warhol from David Bowie


Today’s song of the day comes from David Bowie and it’s about Bowie’s fascination with Andy Warhol.  Warhol himself apparently didn’t care for this song but Bowie meant it as a tribute.

This song came out in 1971.  25 years later, Bowie would play Andy Warhol in Basquiat.

Song of the Day: One Headlight by The Wallflowers

Some songs just get stuck in your head and I think this is definitely one of them.  This is also a song that always used to play in the background at one of my favorite used bookstores.  I associate One Headlight with searching through old books and learning about history.

Tear down that wall!

Song of the Day: My Country, ‘Tis Of Thee, interpreted by Hans Zimmer


This version of My Country, ‘Tis of Thee was composed by Hans Zimmer for 2000’s The Patriot.

I don’t care what anyone else says.  The fact that we took the British national anthem and turned into a pro-American song is really badass.
