Re: David Bowie does an encore
Found this tangentially via Twitter also. Good on MTV for publishing it.
David Bowie has some questions and criticisms about MTV’s lack of videos featuring black artists in this 1983 interview with Mark Goodman.
Some more commentary / annotation on i-D (part of Vice):
"There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't used on MTV," Bowie adds, before Goodman suggests that some areas of the country are "scared to death" of black artists like Prince. "Should it not be a challenge [for MTV to take on] to make the media far more integrated?" Bowie asks. Goodman fobs him off a bit more before asking, "Does that make sense? Is that a valid point?" But Bowie's having none of it: responding, "I understand your point of view," and implying, "But I don't agree with you."

New EP from, yes, David Bowie released today, what would have been his 70th birthday, and two days shy of a year from his death.

Re: Star Wars Rogue One Discussion FULL OF SPOILERS SPOILER THREAD
I enjoyed the movie. The early part of the movie where they're trying to blend in on Jeddhu and the locals ambush a platoon of storm troopers with an IED was pretty believable but pretty much every other major engagement left me wondering just who was running this army? I had a hard time believing that when the shuttle pads started blowing up why they immediately jumped to "Rebel attack!" instead of getting confused and disrupted. Believing themselves under attack, their failure to respond promptly with overwhelming force allowed the situation to get out-of-hand in a hurry. We saw very little of the much-vaunted Star Destroyer weaponry being employed on the Rebel fleet either.

Curious what your thoughts are, i think this is a more plausible, different story it could have been.
