RE: Music Alphabet - A - Alabama Song
Good start! I prefer the Bowie version - he did a whole EP of Brecht songs from 'Baal', waay back when.
The Ziggy Stardust band plays a Jaque Brel song on the movie - 'My Death' - which has nothing to do with Brecht, but I started typing before I checked my facts...
I keep meaning to check more of Brecht's work (& Brel's); there's something about the rhythms in their work that appeals.
Thank you!
Bowie was in Berlin in that period. It's interesting though that the Doors made it in the US, maybe it is a good example how ant-war culture was present in certain circles there.
