David Bowie with Blue Jean. Album Tonight (1984).
A single loosely inspired by Eddie Cochran, the fifties rockabilly legend who died in a traffic accident in the UK at the unseemingly young age of 21.
Ké with Strange World. From his 1995 debut album I am.
FYI, this dude, real name Kevin Grivois, has, unlike Fauxcahontas, real Cherokee blood in his veins. French father, Cherokee mother.
Slaap wel. I am very sorry for the light substandard bloggin' lately, but company chores are greatly hampering me.

RECOMMENDED READS: RICK MORAN'S "GOODBYE, 'BOY SCOUTS', HELLO, 'SCOUTS BSA'."
Over at American Thinker, Rick Moran nails it re the latest chapter in the demise of that once great institution accompanying and counseling American boys to adulthood, the Boy Scouts:
Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh said many possibilities were considered during lengthy and "incredibly fun" deliberations before the new name was chosen.
"We wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward," he said. "We're trying to find the right way to say we're here for both young men and young women."
I'm sure it was a lot of fun destroying an institution set up to help boys become men – sort of like pulling the wings off flies, only not as messy.
The organization has already started admitting girls into the Cub Scouts, and Scouts BSA begins accepting girls next year.
Surbaugh predicted that both boys and girls in Scouts BSA would refer to themselves simply as scouts, rather than adding "boy" or "girl" as a modifier.
The program for the older boys and girls will largely be divided along gender-lines, with single-sex units pursuing the same types of activities, earning the same array of merit badges and potentially having the same pathway to the coveted Eagle Scout award.
Surbaugh said that having separate units for boys and girls should alleviate concerns that girls joining the BSA for the first time might be at a disadvantage in seeking leadership opportunities.
So far, more than 3,000 girls have joined roughly 170 Cub Scout packs participating in the first phase of the new policy, and the pace will intensify this summer under a nationwide multimedia recruitment campaign titled "Scout Me In."
The name change comes amid strained relations between the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of America.
Girl Scout leaders said they were blindsided by the move, and they are gearing up an aggressive campaign to recruit and retain girls as members.
Three cheers for the Girl Scouts. At least they're willing to fight this nonsense. And while the Boy Scouts spout off about "inclusiveness," maybe they should think of what they are excluding.
They are excluding the idea that boys are different from girls and that the path to adulthood each sex takes diverges from the other's. This fundamental fact is due not to culture as much as biology. We should applaud a changing world that gives girls the same opportunities as boys in many areas. But the sexes are not interchangeable, and to pretend they are is ludicrous..."
What sheer and utter nonsense. Here's some good advice to Americans with sons in the former Boy Scouts: PULL THEM OUT ASAP, and write a letter to that loser Sourbaugh telling him in no uncertain terms that you will NOT go along in this umpteenth cultural marxist scheme.
You might add he grow a set of balls.

"Were you ever a Boy Scout? Why, you misogynistic creep! The very name drips of anti-women venom.Associated Press:
Never mind. The Boy Scouts of America have changed all that. From now on, the iconic name "Boy Scouts" will be replaced with the more gender-neutral "Scouts BSA."

SCANDAL: AUSTRIAN POLICE RAIDS IDENTITAERE BEWEGUNG OFFICES, SELLNER APARTMENT.
If you think Austria is on the right path now that Wunderwuzzi is Chancellor, think again.
Martin Sellner, leader of Austria's Identitaeren, had his offices and apartment raided by the Austrian police:
Hat tip our friends from Gates of Vienna.
Transcript:
Email the Austrian Ambassador in your country and tell him or her it's a SCANDAL of the first order that Mr Sellner and his organization, who are true Austrian patriots and in essence the only real hope for the future of this Alpine country, are treated as if they were the very vermin that's actually aiming to destroy Austria - and by extension, Europe.

Martin Sellner, leader of Austria's Identitaeren, had his offices and apartment raided by the Austrian police:
Hat tip our friends from Gates of Vienna.
Transcript:
00:00 Dear Austrians, I’m turning to you today, not from my office
00:05 and also not from my apartment, for a sad reason: because early this morning there was
00:10 a nationwide police raid by the police state against our movement, in which
00:15 all offices were searched and private apartments…
00:20 There were data stores seized, computers, documents, maps, all the materials that we urgently
00:25 need for political activism. This is a scandal!
00:30 This is intolerable — the state of this country: I think you are as angry about it as I am.
00:35 The reason for this is that the state prosecutor thinks that we, the Identitaire Movement,
00:40 are a criminal association. We were put on the same level as the real
00:45 Islamic terrorists and mafias, because we dared
00:50 to exercise our basic right of free expression in this country using peaceful activism to bring
00:55 attention to the abuses. Precisely the abuses that are being perpetrated everywhere in Austria:
01:00 political Islam in the mosques, extreme-left terror, which, armed with an iron chain,
01:03 attacked our activists, which torches cars. And what is
01:07 the justice system doing? The justice system, which
01:10 freed presumed rapists in Tulln, who then disappeared. The justice system
01:15 is attacking the patriots. This state of affairs — it’s truly not the country we want. I believe
01:21 that millions of Austrians think exactly the same way. Therefore
01:24 we now need your help. We guarantee that we won’t let go. And I find it symbolic that I’m
01:27 standing again on the street as when it all started. And we will bring to the streets
01:30 the protests and our displeasure against this… this “political justice”
01:33 and we will proceed — following the rule of law —
01:36 against those intolerable home searches and oppose the actions against the patriots.
01:41 And we ask you to help us with it. Help us make our voices loud.
01:46 Because everyone who remains silent becomes complicit. Use #Heimatliebeistkeinverbrechen
01:51 [love of homeland is no crime] and spread the video, spread the information about this act of
01:56 of political injustice again patriotic activists in Austria on all social media,
02:01 and I would have asked for donations, since we are expecting court expenses, but
02:06 last night even our Hungarian bank account was closed, presumably as a result of pressure.
02:11 Therefore if you want you can donate to the IBD [German Identitaire],
02:14 our German sister organization. You’ll find the account number
02:17 and the designated recipient at the end of the video. But above all I’m asking you not to be silent.
02:21 Because it has to be possible in this country to exercise peaceful patriotic activism.
02:26 It has to be possible to criticise political Islam. It has to become clear
02:29 that love of homeland is not a crime.
Email the Austrian Ambassador in your country and tell him or her it's a SCANDAL of the first order that Mr Sellner and his organization, who are true Austrian patriots and in essence the only real hope for the future of this Alpine country, are treated as if they were the very vermin that's actually aiming to destroy Austria - and by extension, Europe.
