yeah, was the beginning of the end of his epic run of releases, Blue Jean is a great song tho and didn't realize all the Iggy songs and involvement
Have you heard the demos?
As well as acknowledging that Tonight was not one of his stronger efforts, Bowie would later distance himself from his 1984–1987 period
In 1989 when working with Tin Machine, he described both Tonight and Never Let Me Down as "great material that got simmered down to product level. I really should have not done it quite so studio-ly. I think some of it was a waste of really good songs. You should hear the demos from those two albums. It's night and day by comparison with the finished tracks. There's stuff that I could really kick myself about. When I listen to those demos it's, 'How did it turn out like that?' You should hear "Loving the Alien" on demo. It's wonderful on demo. I promise you! (laughs). But on the album, it's not as wonderful."
