David Bowie

Reports are sunny regarding David Bowie’s newest album, Reality. It’s a good thing. The Thin White Duke’s career (gawd, we always hated that sobriquet; gawd, we hate that word, “sobriquet”) has been marked by long lazy periods where his butt was comfortably installed on its nest of laurels. But once a decade or so, he gets up and proves he’s still got the goods. Yet, in the parallel universe of performance, his roadshow has always been a spectacle to behold. Put this one down in the category of concerts you’ve got to stop telling yourself you’ll see next time he comes to town. Bowie’s old enough now that there may not be a next time. Besides, you don’t want to be one of those dorks who waited until the guy was knighted before you saw him onstage. Target Center, 600 First Ave. N., (612) 673-0900, www.targetcenter.com
