Did you ever go See Hunt and Tony when they had The Big Nine?

Full on James Brown funk. Badass.

I was eating alone at a Mexican restaurant circa Y2K and a Japanese tourist asked me if I was David Bowie.
The answer was?
(He was very embarrassed)

Got any photos of you around that time, so we can see if there’s a resemblance?

Yes, at the Starwood. Great show. *edit: Although I don't recall if they were calling it the Big Nine at the time, or just the Sales Brothers. But same kind of groove, soul songs, natty suits, etc. Must have been around 1979.

That's where I saw them! '79. Hunt Sales and The Big Nine. I think Snow opened for them. Once again...Dave and Chris standing in the same room.

It was a ridiculously great show. Used a lot of the James Brown tricks...just awesome.

I see Hunt around town every now and then. He's an Austin guy. This is his latest song. He played every instrument. Recorded by Manny Nieto. Very dirty, thick sound. But cool.

The Jeopardy Category is "Famous 1970's Rock Stars"

Hmmm, not sure about pics from that era, pretty fresh off a dope habit but for sure a thin white duke thing was goin on...

Iggy Pop is the Godfather of Punk. Anything he does has punk attitude. And Punk...in my view...is about the attitude. Otherwise it's just rock-'n'-roll with safety pins.

....David Bowie
