Phil Manzanera, Paul Simonon and Tony Allen form new 'supergroup'

Phil Manzanera and Paul Simonon have teamed up with Tony Allen and a number of other musicians to perform at an Italian music festival.
Manzanera, Simonon and Allen will be joined by Italian musician Ligabue, Columbian singer Andrea Echeverri and London-based violinist Anna Phoebe for a performance at the La Notte della Taranta, taking place in Salento in the south of Italy on August 22.
Manzanera serves as the festival’s Maestro Concertatore this year.
“I’m delighted that La Notte della Taranta has attracted such wonderful artists,” says Manzanera. “And it’s a tribute to the fine local muscians and dancers that they want to be part of this incredible concert. I’m hoping that this year, all of us performing can ensure that one of Italy’s best kept secrets, reaches a wider international audience.”

This is the London that I remember

I moved down to London from Glasgow in 1977 and left in March 1984 with a one way ticket to Amsterdam and twenty quid in my pocket. I had no idea where I was going and what I was going to do. I do just remember that London was just depressingly grey and that I could no longer live under Thatcher. Having just celebrated my 29th year in Melbourne I have to say it was the best move I ever made

Bowie: Nazi Salute Or Not? (1976)

NME

While the video above shows Bowie just waving do bear in mind that he had form in this department having said in 1974:

'Britain is ready for a fascist leader… I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After all, fascism is really nationalism… I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership…'

And in the September 1976 Playboy issue carried this quote:

BOWIE: Rock stars are fascists. Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars.
PLAYBOY: How so?
BOWIE: Think about it. Look at some of his films and see how he moved. I think he was quite as good as Jagger. It’s astounding. And boy, when he hit that stage, he worked an audience. Good God! He was no politician. He was a media artist. He used politics and theatrics and created this thing that governed and controlled the show for 12 years. The world will never see his like again. He staged a country […] People aren’t very bright, you know? They say they want freedom, but when they get the chance, they pass up Nietzsche and choose Hitler because he would march into a room to speak and music and lights would come on at strategic moments. It was rather like a rock ‘n roll concert. The kids would get very excited – girls got hot and sweaty and guys wished it was them up there. That, for me, is the rock ‘n roll experience.

It is interesting that most people will just shrug Bowie's 'salute' off and blame it (if indeed it happened) on his excessive use of cocaine at the time.
Clapton's drunken onstage racist monologue from the same year is (rightly in my opinion) never really blamed on the alcohol though
