“The left wing’s broken, The right’s insane”
Before we say goodbye to May 2020, it’s worth marking the 30th anniversary of an oft-overlooked single, released sometime in May 1990.
Issued ahead of the Adrian Belew album, Young Lions, from whence it came, Pretty Pink Rose was a Bowie composition billed as a duet and performed practically every night on the 1990 Sound + Vision Tour.
The song does seem to divide fans, but perhaps not quite as much as the video featuring Bowie, Belew and Julie T. Wallace. Make up your own mind about that, here.
FOOTNOTE: The closing track on Young Lions was a Belew/Bowie composition sung by Bowie, called Gunman.
