David Bowie: the man who lived his music career from others (aka, lifting ideas from people he was impressed by)
Unoriginal, questionable politics and very pretentious - yay!!
(although heroes is an amazing song)

He was one of the first artists in the mainstream to publicly announce being bisexual. Quaint as it may seem today, in 1970 or so, it was a very big deal -- particularly in Great Britain where homosexuality was something that could get you thrown in prison for years until 1967. Gays in Britain were typically institutionalized and given shock treatment.

It's worth seeing the 1961 film "Victim" for a window into the mindset of contemporaries of the Victorian laws that were still in effect at the time.

David Bowie is my vocal guru, if you listen to him, he will (hardly) ever sing the same on each song twice. He's like a vocal actor. Great stuff!

I agree with munchkin

I like tacos
I am American
I am afraid of David Bowie
I am NOT God...
but I still like tacos...

and David Bowie -- in ALL his different iterations
even his *crap* stuff blows the doors off much of the pap that makes it to the airwaves today.

Who doesnt like tacos? NO ONE that's who!

I liked Gish and siamese Dream, but apart from 1979, they went firmly up their own arses afterwards.

Odd. The only album thiers i actually like is Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (what a f**king emo title, eh?). My fav's off of it are "bodies", "An Ode to No One", and "Cupid de Locke" and like 6 others. Great album, imo.

I'd say it's more sarcastic than metaphorical. Even if it's literal, there are many cases of cults here claiming to possess the second coming of Christ so you can't call him a liar. Can anyone say Waco?

I can say taco!
did I mention I like them?

Someone Explain David Bowie to me
