Once upon a time, every month, one girl was looking forward to get a new issue of her monthly English magazine from her English teacher at school to read who was the person of the month in her favourite column Rock Passport. ๐๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐๐๐
And then he appeared in the new issue, with one blue eye and one brown one. ๐๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐๐๐
These two I remember from the 90ies when I first saw him and knew about him, and these tunes and videos remained my favourite ones.
David Bowie - Let's Dance (1983) ๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐๐๐
David Bowie - China Girl (1983) ๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐๐๐
Those April and May issues were the last two I got.
And then the curtain fell on us.
And all import was blocked.
The date is amazing.๐ฒ
I loved the Snoopy comic on the back cover too. ๐
This one looks like the holiday in 2020 and this year. ๐
Now & Then ⏳
I checked Eli's issues today, no Rock Passport in A Tot of English any more. That's bad.
Now it's People something. ๐
People, why People? Could you bring back Rock Passport and David Bowie, please? ๐ ๐๐๐
On the coldest day of the year enjoying listening to the Brits and their beautiful accent I adore. ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ธ๐น I would like to move to the UK. ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ธ๐น

The first Serbian band (introduced by Paul King as the band from the former Yugoslavia in the middle of the war at the time) ever broadcast on MTV was Obojeni program (translated as Coloured Program) in 1994.๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต
That was soooo cool, and sounded soooo good from the mouth of Paul King, VJ on MTV at the time, on MTV the Institution at the time. ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต
This is still my favourite song of this band whose fan I have always been. ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต
That intro, I would still listen to it for days!๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต

This is eternal. ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต
Kebra and Paul, the heroes of my childhood! ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต
I think that The Strokes are the biggest band of '00. ๐ต๐ต๐ต
And I think that all fans of indie rock think the same. ๐ต๐ต๐ต
However, it's Jules' solo from 2009 that is in my top 10 albums of all time. It struck me more than any other album of the band for some reason. Maybe it's because of maturity, a kind of catharsis, enlightenment, saying exactly what I can feel, something like that. ๐ต๐ต๐ต
Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young (2009)๐ต๐ต๐ต
4 Chords of the Apocalypse ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต
Out Of The Blue ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต
....this is soooo perfectly perfect! ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต
I can't believe I cannot find on YT his epic appearance I remember, maybe they removed that video with Jules kind of smartly dressed for that occasion in a big shiny studio, I think it was a French afternoon TV show, and now I cannot find that.๐ Hell no!
Beside the fact that he is the most beautiful person in the world ever born and that he has the most beautiful voice in the world of all singers of all time, I've always liked him so much for his being such an INTROVERT! ๐๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต Love, love, love!๐๐๐
What a beautiful essay did I write about the Strokes and Jules, wonderful, miraculous, spectacular...๐๐๐
