Happy Anniversary – Love You Till Tuesday
Today is the 48th anniversary of the release of Love You Till Tuesday. It’s still a novelty fave Bowie song of mine. Yes, it’s 60s cheese, and Bowie is doing his best Anthony Newley impersonation – but it’s FUN! And you’ve got to have a giggle :-))

Jim even mentions the Love Song performance from back in the day. But didn’t mention the big yellow man-bag. Lol. Wish Molly had…
