Br When David Bowie released ILet’s Dance/I in 1983, there were fans who felt Ziggy Stardust had sold out, but it was–of course–just another in a long line of stage personae for the Thin White Duke. Unfortunately, it wasn’t his most interesting. This video, from the Vancouver stop on the Serious Moonlight tour, seems a little dull. Aside from a prop or two, some nifty costumes for his band (inspired by a Singapore street scene), and singing one song inside a tube of plastic, there’s little of the visual imagination seen from Bowie in the past. On the other hand, the band is tight (although Earl Slick’s I’m-a-guitar-god moves grow tiresome), the lighting is cool, and Bowie pulls out material from throughout his career (there are only three songs from his then-latest album ILet’s Dance/I). Best of all, he seems to be having fun, and without all the makeup and outrageousness, David Bowie the person comes through more. Maybe it’s just another stage persona, but he seems like a pretty nice bloke. I–Geof Miller/I

Harks back to the comedy legends Micallef worshipped as a child. The only son of Alfred and Judy Micallef, he grew up comfortably in suburban Adelaide, a bookish, clumsy kid who avoided sport in favour of listening to the radio comedy shows of the Marx Brothers, Monty Python, the Goons, and Morecambe and Wise. "I was pretty needy in terms of attention," Micallef recalls. "I was always asking various adults whether I was a good boy, which was rather pathetic and probably the reason I ended up performing, to satisfy that need for approval. I just enjoy doing it now - maybe in some kind of Freudian way, laughter has become a sort of approval. It's an easy way to leave an impression on people without having to meet them and engage with them." As a performer, Micallef usually avoids appearing on television as himself. "If I've got to be myself I'll usually play a character, even if it's one called Shaun Micallef - a smarter or stupider or bigger or smaller version, depending on what the gag is. I have a taste for performing but I don't have a hunger for it. I don't think I'm naturally very funny to be perfectly honest. But I'm a reasonably good technician."Source: The Age
