Rock Town Hall Votes Jagger - Bowie Vid Rock Crime of the Century; YouTube Pulls Video

In it's roll as industry watchdog, popular rock music discussion blog, Rock Town Hall, via a democratic member poll, has declared the Mick Jagger - David Bowie (Ja-Bo) Dancing in the Streets video (1985) as The Rock Crime of the Century.

"Over the course of the video, the duo manage to offend and betray all sense of cool rock decorum, from the first ass-kissing geographical shoutouts and Jagger's matching Day-Glo green sneaks and blouse to both men's Zuba pants and Bowie's longcoat - not to mention dance moves out of a Dr. Pepper ad", stated blog Moderator and Founder, Jim Slade, "All that was cool about Jagger and Bowie headed straight for the dumper; to this day, their greatest works are tarnished by memories of this collaboration."

For their discussion on the crime, an embedded YouTube link of the video was used as "evidence". Shortly after posting the link and generating a number of hits, YouTube took the video down.

"Every effort must be made to guard against these crimes and to stem the spread of countless bad imitators", said Slade, "We salute YouTube for disposing of the video and doing their part to ease the pain."

Currently under indictment are Sting, Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams for their 1993 collaboration All For Love from the Three Muskateers soundtrack.

ABOUT ROCK TOWN HALL - Rock Town Hall was founded to carry on and expand late-night turntable debates on self-important issues in rock. In 2002, they convened as a private discussion list among a baker's dozen of opinionated, music-loving friends. In time "RTH" grew to a virtual Who the Hell Does He Think He Is? among rock musicians, journalists, DJs, record collectors, and assorted rock nerds.

The Rock Town Hall blog was created and produced by longtime Philadelphia rock scenester Jim Slade and college chum and former FOX network development executive, Jason Sikes.
