American composer Philip Glass recently performed with orchestra in the strife-torn city of Belfast. Appropriately enough, the main piece of the evening was Glass' haunting 'Heroes Symphony,' an adaptation of the Bowie/Eno classic compositional album
'Heroes'.

With the BowieNet Chat-room event queue growing (and more to be announced soon), David had some thoughts on the posting of chat transcripts.
Just a reminder: Thursday, December 10th at 7:00 p.m. EST live chat with Gail Ann Dorsey. (that's tomorrow)
"I've had a word with the guys at ULTRASTAR and we've arrived at the notion that 'IT'S OK' by us for you to post complete transcripts of the Guest Chat Nights. I think Tina was getting a bit sulky because two or three sites were posting it faster than US!! Well, in my book, that's Site-Life. So, the race is on, I guess. Try it! Just go ahead.

Public Enemy has been made to remove their songs (available for free download in the MP3 format) from their website as, apparently they forgot to inform their record company that they intended to do this!!
Chuck D said posting the free songs was an act against the entire record industry. On Tuesday, PolyGram, threatened legal action unless the songs were removed from the Web site. Public Enemy took the songs off the site, as requested.
