Change of color

Some chameleon species are able to change their skin colors. Different chameleon species are able to change different colors which can include pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, light blue, yellow and turquoise.[7][8]

Some varieties of chameleon - such as the Smith's dwarf chameleon - use their color-changing ability to blend in with their surroundings, as an effective form of camouflage.[9]

Color change is also used as an expression of the physiological condition of the lizard, and as a social indicator to other chameleons. Some research suggests that social signaling was the primary driving force behind the evolution of color change, and that camouflage evolved as a secondary concern.[10][11]

Chameleons have specialized cells, collectively called chromatophores, that lie in layers under their transparent outer skin. The cells in the upper layer, called xanthophores and erythrophores, contain yellow and red pigments respectively. Below these is another layer of cells called iridophores or guanophores, and they contain the colorless crystalline substance guanine. These are particularly strong reflectors of the blue part of incident light. If the upper layer of itchromatophores appears mainly yellow, the reflected light becomes green (blue plus yellow). A layer of dark melanin contained in melanophores is situated even deeper under the reflective iridophores. The melanophores determine the 'lightness' of the reflected light. These specialized cells are full of pigment granules, which are located in their cytoplasm. Dispersion of the pigment granules in the cell grants the intensity of appropriate color. If the pigment is equally distributed in the cell, the whole cell has the intensive color, which depends on the type of chromatophore cell. If the pigment is located only in the center of the cell, cell appears to be transparent. All these pigment cells can rapidly relocate their pigments, thereby influencing the color of the chameleon.

David Bowie & Cher - Young Americans Medley (1975)

Stormsinger says...

Outside of Cher's wig, I don't see anything bizarre at all. Two of the finest performers of their time, at least one of whom has a reputation for being an incredible chameleon (in his musical styles, not just his appearance). Putting them together for a medley of covers seems like a no-brainer to me.

If you want to talk bizarre, the routine with Bowie and Bing Crosby seemed a much more unusual pairing. And -that- one turned out amazing as well.

Atheists Can't Think For Themselves!

BicycleRepairMan says...

And I must say this is just another pathetic rant from atheism. The way I was brought up, mocking someones faith in this manner is just as wrong as mocking their skin color.(...)people should be allowed to believe whatever the hell they want without being ridiculed.

Really? Do you seriously mean that? From what I've heard, people have, and do, believe some pretty fucked up shit from time to time, and sometimes, ridicule is the most effective form of criticism , sometimes, its the only option. From newspaper comics to the joker in the kings staff, time and again, Humor, sarcasm and satire have frequently been the only allowed channel to speak truth to power.

Your reasoning shows how religion and religious people wants their cake and eat it too, like a chameleon, religion keeps changing to the circumstances, sometimes it pretends to be a free choice with no strings attached, other times it is as unchanging and rigid as skin color. It tries to defend itself as freedom of speech, while telling others they cant really critize it. In fact, again as your reasoning shows, religion goes even further in its opposition to free exchange of ideas, by declaring its ideas to be "sacred", they should not only be exempt from criticism, but even from ridicule. My bullshit detector is going haywire on shit like this.

Truman Capote Explains the Non-Fiction Novel (1966)

JiggaJonson says...

^rougy
Have you never heard of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?
He also wrote another bestseller after "In Cold Blood" based on the same Nonfiction Novel concept called "Music for Chameleons"

I don't know what you're getting at with this crap about "in April in the morning". I would put him up there with Samuel Clemens.

Beck - Cellphone's Dead (directed by Michel Gondry)

David Bowie interviewed by Dick Cavett (1974)

Stormsinger says...

He's always been one of my favorite artists, and not only for his outrageous chameleon-like performances. The man has such a broad range of interests and talents that it blows my mind. He's been an actor, a painter, a singer, a songwriter, and a narrator, and the worst he's been at any of them was competent.
