Honestly, I really did not know that Soupy Sales sons were musicians until they became part of Tin Machine and until just this week, I did not know they had been musicians since the 1960s and I had heard them on several things prior to that.

I knew somehow Iggy Pop was involved with Bowie eventually doing the Tin Machine thing with the Sales brothers, but did not know they were the rhythm section on Pop's Lust for Life record, which Bowie produced, so he had known them for more than a decade before Tin Machine happened. 

I read an article about Hunt Sales the other day and only just discovered a bunch of things about his history. I guess he knew Will Sexton and that would seem to be how he ended up playing with David, our David here, not Bowie. 

Also, I discovered reading an interview with Hunt that he had a 40 year issue with drugs, and so I probably would not have made the comment I did above, intended as a joke, had I known he had gone through those struggles. I was not trying to be flippant, I just thought Hunt, hair bleached blonde, reminded me of Stewart Copeland and seemed to play with a lot of attitude. Not Copeland in style but Copeland in spirit. 

I liked Tin Machine back then, I recall that many Bowie fans did not and I think I read one review back then that called the project "A complete waste of time." which I did not agree with. 

I also read that the roadies that worked on the Tin Machine tour wore t-shirts that said "Fuck you, I like Tin Machine!" which I believe was a reaction to the bad press and some Bowie fan hostility. 

Anyway, Hunt has had a hell of a career. Respect to the man for enduring.
