Wait, this was in the Outside tour? Man, I so wanted to go. Was going to be at the Masquerade for the final concert, but had a needy girlfriend and chose her instead. Of course the relationship didn’t last, but I’m more heartbroken about missing that concert.Overheard at a concert (Bowie was touring with NIN) ...
Why is he covering that Nirvana song?
le sigh......

Yeah, I had Closure when it came out, and got to see clips. Also had a couple of bootlegs. Epic tour.It was that tour!
(And yes, the show was better than the person you were dating.)

"Why do they call it film?"Newscaster: "This just in. Having kids makes you feel old. Film at 11:00."
"Why do they call it film?"
The best is asking young people to mime using their phone. They just put their hands flat on the side of their headHeh. I was doing charades with my five and six year old students and I held up my hands in the “taking a picture with a camera” pose and none of them could get it.
After, I asked them what taking a picture looks like and they all, in unison, held both arms straight out hands about five inches apart like they were holding smartphones.
Most of the kids had never actually seen a camera. And certainly not one you had to look through some sort of view port.
I felt so old.
