there's no business like show business #3







like Drake she became a star by singing about stardom

now stars in the umpteenth remake of A Star Is Born

with the orrible Bradley Cooper, who at least appears in this character to be toning down his irrepressible male energy

there's no business like show business #2



from Circus, the follow-up to self-reflexive metapop digi-glam frightmare spectacular Blackout


but still discussing fame and its costs






this song apparently incorporates "glam-rave" elements






then she became the queen of Vegas, the world capital of show biz



her life is a cabaret

"Bowie damage" and the art-glam / new wave + postpunk nexus

 I didn't know the music journalist and author  Mark Spitz   - who has died tragically young  - very well, but I always enjoyed chatting...
