Released on this day in 1982; The Dreaming by Kate Bush. Probably her least commercial and most experimental album. Only in 1981 could the advance single from the album, Sat in your lap have done quite so well in a singles chart.
The unpopularity of the album at the time though probably caused a retreat into more control,own studio and a more careful experimentation in future for Ms Bush.

It’s David Bowie’s birthday and he would have been 77. I still feel very raw over his death, probably because of things that had been going on in my own life, and those dark January days.
Anyway, let’s focus on his life and music. I’ve been listening to The Stars Are Out Tonight quite a bit, and it strikes me as being quite similar to China Girl in parts. The video is excellent: https://youtu.be/gH7dMBcg-gE?si=9kDfI4h6U82r8aJ1

Of my many older attempts to draw The Beatles, I was quite happy with this one just because of how Paul turned out. I know Ringo in particular is not great.

I’ve not drawn anything new and posted it here in an age, but out of a combination of self-care and trying not to lose my union card, see below a very quick, scrappy attempt at a hairy Beatle.
This is John in 1969, when he was only 28 or 29 years old. He was murdered not long after he turned 40, and would have been 83 years old on 9 October.
