Worth A Million In Prizes
According to Iggy Pop, Bowie's celebrated riff on "Lust for Life" was inspired by the Morse code opening to the American Forces Network News in Berlin. At various points in the song the melody is doubled by the entire band; in Carlos Alomar's words, "You can’t play a counter-rhythm to that, you just had to follow".
Just wanted to share. Goodnight.
