Elvis Presley

David Bowie

They were born on the same day, the same month, twelve years apart. It could be just a coincidence that two of the most important cultural figures of the last hundred years share the same birthday, but we like to think it has to be a deliberate plan of the gods. To celebrate the birthday of Elvis and David, we talk with Helen Ma, the President of The International Elvis Presley Fan Club in Hong Kong. Journalist and author, Gillian Gaar will share crucial details from her excellent book, 100 Things Elvis Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die. Chris O’Leary, who wrote, Rebel Rebel the definitive book on Bowie songs (volume one), will give his critical opinion of Blackstar. Plus, Norman B will share moments from a rare intimate conversation with David Bowie. In the program, you’ll hear mention of “Polari”  and Norman mentions the British actor and comedian Kenneth Williams. To hear “Polari ” as used by Williams, we suggest you visit Round The Horn.
