Sad jacket post of the day...

[Stand By]

The thing is, Craig actually looks like Mr. Bowie!

But the thing is, we've all become so accustomed to Sloan's avatar (and the high frequency of its appearance here on TFL over the years), that we have come to immediately associate him with Mr. Bowie!

Sloan/Craig, is a bloody great bloke. Don't worry about him. He will be fine.

Whoa! Great pics! That'll be the height of his cocaine period. Very thin, very white.

That outfit would coordinate beautifully with his diet then, too; the red peppers with the sweater, milk and his skin!

"...and this is my Shane Magowan impression..."

Was watching the BBC4 series about music moguls, producers and PRs, and there are some fantastic photos of Bowie wearing the jacket.

Hey, Shane got new teeth man!

Hey, Shane got new teeth man!

He actually did! I think he was wearing dentures for a while (which improved his voice, having heard him live before and after), but last year they did some implants work on him, and he has the equivalent of a full new set of teeth. Follwing in Bowie's footsteps, of course - I think he was one of the ealy Brits to have theirs completely revamped in the US?

^^ Could be - Bowie didn't get as bad as Shane did, so I'm not sure. But my son has been a big Pogues fan for years and I remember him sending me a pic of the new choppers and it was pretty funny. Man, he was in bad shape!
