Interview of Annie Lennox (1984)

Eurythmics on fame, image, and Bowie

Mid-1980s television catches Annie Lennox of Eurythmics after Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) is already a hit on MTV. She talks about fame, image, and how close David Bowie’s stage look sits to her own sharp androgyny. Dave Stewart’s guitar and synth parts stay just off-camera in the conversation.

This is not a soft promo spot. Lennox treats the orange crop and the direct stare as tools for the work, not as costume jokes. The clip still shows how a duo could look larger on a television screen than a full band.
