well, it's been gosh at least a couple of weeks since i mentioned Bowie here, so here we go. on a prompt from some pictures off of Spiros, look you see, and mostly just a throwback sort of thing to a post from, give or take, a couple of years ago. at least from when this goes "live" rather than just when you read it.
so, a while back, Spiros kindly sent on some images of the celebrated, neo-mythical Relax shirt what Bowie wore in the celebrated Jazzin' For Blue Jean video, or "short film". if for some reasons you would wish to read of musings on that subject, or look at some pics and a bit of video, here you go, here's the link to it.
but that was then, and this is now. with good (yet classified and secretive) reason Spiros just so happened to be near the shirt once more, and sent on some more pics. as sharing such here takes up some quality internet space, here we are.
yes, indeed, as i probably mentioned in the other post (i tend not to read my own writing, for fear of a headache or similar distress), that would be a bootleg shirt. the real, legitimate ones, of course, had Frankie Say Relax on them. and, as Frankie were (very much) a collective rather than a singular, indeed Say was correct. shirts with Frankie Says on were also fake.
no, probably nothing much else to add beyond what i had said before. except, well, yes, Blue Jean is a most excellent pop single, full worthy of equality with the Let's Dance singles from the year before.
quite a more better look at the plaque with the shirt there for you. i don't think, and believe me this is no criticism of Spiros, it was all that easy to see in the previous post. they have paraphrased or condensed the details of the video, but still, the gist of it is correct. rather just watch the video, i think.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
