PEOPLE, Page 88Tuneful WonderBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Jeannie Park
In his time, he has assumed many guises: rock star, galactic
alien, fashion dandy, androgynous poseur. Now, with former Iggy
Poppers Tony and Hunt Sales and guitarist Reeves Gabrels, the
multitalented David Bowie has put together a new band called Tin
Machine, which will play its first live gig this week at the
International Rock Awards in New York City. On its premier album,
the songwriter turned social critic grimly assails pop-music idols
("blue-suede tuneless wonders"), lashes out at drug dealers ("may
razors slash your main line"), and warns of a "psycho-time-bomb
planet poised to meet its maker." Tin Machine's new stuff, Bowie
promises, "will float your guppies to the top of the tank."
