008 | Johnny looks up at the stars — “I’m Afraid of Americans” by David Bowie

from eightone81 — Best Music Video Ever · host Benjamin Light and Marco Sparks

We’re talking David Bowie and Trent Reznor on the pod this week with 1997’s “I’m Afraid of Americans.” A video that feels weirdly prescient about the future American malaise, and also features Bowie in a bizarre suit and Reznor in an unfortunate soul patch-y situation. Plus, the guys talk about their recent experience seeing Fastball, Gin Blossoms, and Collective Soul in concert.
