  1. Postscript: #ReevesGabrels was playing slide #guitar in “country-pop” band #RubberRodeo after their 1986 release produced by #DavidBowie collaborator Ken Scott (#music engineer on #SpaceOddity & #TheManWhoSoldTheWorld, producer on #HunkyDory, #ZiggyStardust, #AladdinSane).

    So a different and less-#1980s-bombast version of #Bowie’s #NeverLetMeDown could have happened then!

    Maybe critics wouldn’t have panned it so hard; maybe he wouldn’t have reacted with five years of #TinMachine. Maybe, maybe…

  2. In an alternate reality, #guitarist #ReevesGabrels was put in touch with #DavidBowie a year earlier. #Bowie scrapped further #guitar recording sessions with #PeterFrampton, stopped returning multi-instrumentalist #ErdalKızılçay’s calls, and wisely chose #LaurieAnderson’s spoken words over actor #MickeyRourke’s attempt at rap.

    The result might have been this version of 1987’s #NeverLetMeDown album, posthumously re-recorded in our universe’s 2018: songsha.re/open/aa012c83ba3c41
