# Quicksand (David Bowie song)

"Quicksand" is a song written by the English singer-songwriter David Bowie and released on his 1971 album Hunky Dory.

## Background

"Quicksand" was recorded on 14 July 1971 at Trident Studios in London. This ballad features multi-tracked acoustic guitars and a string arrangement by Mick Ronson. Producer Ken Scott, having recently engineered George Harrison's album All Things Must Pass, attempted to create a similarly powerful acoustic sound with this track.
Bowie said of the song, "The chain reaction of moving around throughout the bliss and then the calamity of America produced this epic of confusion. Anyway with my esoteric problems I could have written it in Plainview or Dulwich" and that it was a mixture of "narrative and surrealism".
Lyrically the song, like much of Bowie's work at this time, was influenced by Buddhism ("You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo"), occultism, and Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the Superman. It refers to the magical society Golden Dawn and name-checks one of its most famous members, Aleister Crowley, as well as Heinrich Himmler, Winston Churchill and Juan Pujol (codename: Garbo).

## Reception

NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have described it as "Bowie in his darkest and most metaphysical mood", while a contemporary review in Rolling Stone remarked on its "superb singing" and "beautiful guitar motif from Mick Ronson".

## Live performances

Bowie performed the song during his 1997 Earthling Tour. A live recording from one show on 20 July 1997, recorded at Long Marston, England during the Phoenix Festival, was released in a live album entitled Look at the Moon! in February 2021. Bowie performed the song occasionally during his 2003-04 A Reality Tour.
Bowie performed the song at his 50th birthday concert in 1997 along with Robert Smith of The Cure.

## Other releases

The song was released as the B-side of the single "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" in April 1974. RCA included the song in the picture disc set Life Time.
An impromptu hotel room performance of the song, recorded in San Francisco in February 1971, was released for the first time in 2022 on the multi-disc box set Divine Symmetry: The Journey to Hunky Dory. A studio demo version of "Quicksand", recorded in London in spring 1971, was first released as a bonus track on the Rykodisc release of Hunky Dory in 1990.
An alternate mix of the song from the mid-July 1971 recording sessions, mixed in late July for a special not-for-sale promotional album (pressed that summer for use by record company contacts and later known as BOWPROMO), received its first official CD release on the Divine Symmetry box set. That set also includes an early, previously unreleased take of "Quicksand" from the mid-July 1971 sessions, mixed in 2021.
A November 1996 tour rehearsal recording of the song, which originally aired on a BBC radio broadcast in 1997, was released in 2020 on the album ChangesNowBowie.

## Restructuring

In the mid-2000s the Patrol Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia underwent a radical transformation. In 2005 Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili fired "the entire traffic police force" of the Georgian National Police due to corruption, numbering around 30,000 police officers.
A new force was built around new recruits. The United States State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law-Enforcement Affairs has provided assistance to the training efforts. Patruli was first introduced in the summer of 2005 replacing the traffic police, which were accused of corruption.
Throughout the reformation, policemen were presented with new Volkswagen cars and navy blue uniforms, with "Police" written on the back. They were armed with Israeli Jericho-941SFL pistols instead of PMs.
The Georgian Immigration Enforcement Training Video Unit (GIETVU) works to improve training methods for immigration enforcement operatives.
In 2009 the U.S. State Department launched U.S. State Department’s International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Program "The Georgia-to-Georgia Exchange Program", providing Georgian policemen with education courses in the State of Georgia. In June, the United States provided $20 million for these courses.

# Les Steers

Lester Steers (June 16, 1917 – January 23, 2003) was an American track and field high jumper. In 1941 he broke the world record for the high-jump three times. His last record stood for 12 years.

## Track career

Steers attended Palo Alto High School, winning the CIF California State Meet three years in a row from 1935 to 1937 and San Mateo Junior College before attending the University of Oregon in 1941, competing for the 'Ducks' in the year of his greatest triumphs.
Steers was a great all-round athlete who competed at the javelin, shot put and high-hurdles for his college athletics team as well as the high jump giving him the aspiration of competing as a decathlete.
It was, however, as a high-jumper that he achieved his greatest success. He was NCAA (United States collegiate) champion (1941)) , 3 times AAU (United States national) champion (1939–41) , and a gold medalist at the World University Games in 1939 (where he also won silver in the javelin and bronze in the pentathlon).
As a jumper, Steers used the 'Belly Roll', a variation of the 'Western Roll'.

## Later life

Steers remained in Oregon reportedly working as a salesman.
He died in 2003, a resident of Richland Washington.

## World records

Steers achieved the following world records during his athletics career:
* 2.10 m (6 ft 10+3⁄4 in) in Seattle on 26 April 1941;
* 2.105 m (6 ft 10+7⁄8 in) in Los Angeles on 24 May 1941;
* 2.11 m (6 ft 11 in) in Los Angeles on 17 June 1941.
Note: only the third was ratified by the sports' governing body, the IAAF.
Steers is also reported to have cleared 7 feet 1/2 inch in an exhibition jump in Eugene on 27 February 1941. The first official clearance of 7 feet was 15 years later by Charles Dumas.

## Accolades and awards

In 1974, Steers was inducted into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame.
In 1992, Steers was inducted into the University of Oregon Hall of Fame.
