On Sunday The Kaiser Chiefs played The Who's "Pinball Wizard, introducing a short tribute to David Bowie and the British Fashion salute. In what might be otherwise a strange montage, it all fit together for the 80,000 fans attending the closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics. The early lives stream byBBC gave viewers an eyeful of modelling beauty and great music.
Pinball Wizard was a great acknowledgement to the best of British Invasion of rock music in America. The short tribute to David Bowie highlighted a couple of his great songs, bringing some nostalgic memories to the viewers. Bowie's song, "Fashion" set the mood.
The highlight of the segment was the British Models and the tribute to the designers. A giant poster of what was said to be Victoria Beckham was carried in by several men. Twiggy a historical British model was not mentioned. As the names were called out the models sashayed down the catwalk. Burberry, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell were the names mentioned by the announcers. Models joined together to wear gold in an Olympic statement. " The Art Of Fashion" played in the background. Kate Moss wore Alexander McQueen.
The Olympics closing ceremonies will be memorable. Check NBC for video clips. During the coming weeks many of the entertainers will be coming to late night talk shows.
