Quite possibly one of my favorite moments of all time in Rock N’ Roll history. Hunter and Bowie on stage with Mick Ronson from the Freddy Mercury tribute concert. Btw, in case you don’t know, Bowie wrote this anthem for Mott just as they were about to implode.
Long before they were soundtrack fodder for teenage pregnancy tales, Mott The Hoople was one hell of a band. There is just so much more than All The Young Dudes to explore for the uninitiated.
I found this dandy little documentary that brightened my very bleary eyes this morning.
Klassic British Rawk.
Btw, Ian Hunter wrote Once Bitten, Twice Shy. Not that worthless hair metal band that took it’s name from a fish.

Rawk Royalty! In 1982, Ian Hunter stroked my curly hair (he is my twin,) at the Royal Oak Music Theatre. Saint Mick Ronson…you were too pure for this world. Nice site, DKNY…

I saw Ian Hunter play at BB Kings last year. He still rocks.
