Nine Inch Nails - I’m Afraid of Americans (David Bowie) - Robert Smith’s Meltdown 2018

Nine Inch Nails - I’m Afraid of Americans - 2018 Meltdown Robert Smith curated the UK’s longest-running artist-curated music festival in its 25th year. Smith is the lead singer and principal songwriter of The Cure, and its only constant member since the group formed in 1978. Nine Inch Nails- I’m Afraid of Americans “I’m Afraid of Americans“ is a single by David Bowie from the 1997 album Earthling. The song, co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno, was originally written during Bowie’s studio sessions for the 1995 album Outside[1] but was not released until a rough mix appeared on the soundtrack to the film Showgirls, and was subsequently remade for Earthling. A top 20 hit in Canada, the rework also peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 16 weeks on that chart. This was the theme song of the TV drama show Berlin Station and the final Bowie single which charted on the Hot 100 until “Blackstar“ and “Lazarus“ following his death.
