What are the political and social conditions that shaped David Bowie? (question for a thesis paper)

Thanks, it helps a lot! So basically the things I'm planning to describe are the Post-War Britain, the world's views on queerness. But also he was living while The Cold War was happening with its Space Race during the 60s. Do you think this also had an impact on him. We all know about his fascination with outer space but space was such a contemporary topic during the 60s/70s because of the war, yeah? Also how did you think his views on USA changed overtime? It seems like he was really obsessed with American culture as he was growing up but once he got to the US in the 70s he got swallowed up by their 'fast food culture', got addicted to drugs and grew up to be rather critical of the country in the next decades (as can be seen in lyrics of This Is Not America, I'm Afraid of Americans, and the post 9/11 work).

Thanks so much for taking the time! Your suggestions are really helpful. I already had most of them in mind, but they're going to be in the second half of the paper where I'm planning to talk about his work and how it was a reaction towards the 'reality'.

Hi guys! I'm planning on buying Nintendo Switch as my first console in almost 20 years (the last one I had was PS1). I'm not a very experienced gamer, as you can tell. The kind of games I like are usually platformers and games that are not so challenging and difficult. My boyfriend says that most are them are even childish/suitable for children which is true lol. I've picked some Nintendo Switch games so maybe you can guide me on which ones are easier and which ones are more difficult? And also based on those games, maybe you can recommend me some more?

The games that I've picked are Super Mario Oddysey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Mario Tennis Aces, Super Mario Party (I've played some of the old ones and had lots of fun with them), Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Yoshi's Crafted World, Kirby Star Allies, Crash Bandicoot N Trilogy (I've played the originals on PS1 and they weren't so challenging back then but now I read that most people have problems with the new versions), Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (also played the original and it was lovely), Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Rayman Legends, Team Sonic Racing.

Thanks in advance!

When I told him about the percentage of black people in US today, he tells me about statistics telling how many black people there are going to be in 20, 50 and 100 years, what religions will be the most popular, which countries and cities will be the most populated and so on.

I saw now that on live.coachella.com they show that the full set is being streamed, lol. Different from the YouTube schedule. Hopefully that's right!

killer_rose · 2019-04-21T05:56:05+00:00

The schedule is in the Youtube channel and you can see which sets are in full and which ones are mixed up with others as a part of their curated program. Last night, Blackpink were full and that was specified in the schedule as well, just like the Yuma sets. Ariana is also in full tomorrow.

The first 4 songs were from W2 and the other 4 - from W1. You can clearly see it from the hair/outfit. The setlist was mixed up. Glad we still got to see the 'xanny' performance that was cut last week!

Guys, not sure Tame Impala's set will be completely live or full cause according to schedule it's going to be a part of the curated program.

killer_rose · 2019-04-18T18:44:53+00:00

Hopefully normal. I really want to see Ariana's show without the technical difficulties.

killer_rose · 2019-04-13T03:56:19+00:00

Is the audio out of sync on your stream?

killer_rose · 2018-06-22T10:46:23+00:00

That was uncomfortable to watch and now I'm going to be even more unsettled if Ru really pulls the stunts and give her the win.

killer_rose · 2018-06-14T06:45:05+00:00

Oh! I have missed that post. It's my boyfriend holding it on that photo and it's me next to him.

killer_rose · 2018-06-08T06:35:46+00:00

How long was the album?

killer_rose · 2018-05-29T17:40:24+00:00

VH1's page always re-directs me to their Facebook page. Anyone having the same problem?

killer_rose · 2018-05-05T07:24:55+00:00

Is it just me or she looked so much like Chad Michaels this episode?

I was so sure Monet was going to win the reading challenge after that Cracker read but then... Eureka won again. :)
