who really cares if he was gay or not really ~? do you think he cares what you think? maybe he just loved to make music ? you gay haters crack me up ~~ you should be out beating your meat ... if you have any ~!! of course he was gay ~~doesn't retract from his genius as a song writer ~!! focus ~~Noobs ~!!
Gus Van Sandt (the video's director) is gay. Bowie was bisexual in the 70's...but married twice to women...I love this video, it's androgyny at its best. It's like Bowie is doing a retrospective of his "70's song, nodding to his "interesting' sexuality, but he's moved on since then...I saw him on his 1990 tour, he was GREAT!
The director was Gus Van Sant. He had directed these movies: * Milk (2008) * Paranoid Park (2007) * The Time Traveler's Wife (2006) * Paris, je t'aime (2005) - Segmento "Le Marais" * Last Days (2005) * Elephant (2003) * Gerry (2002) * Finding Forrester (2000) * Psicose (1998) * Ballad of the Skeletons (1997) * Drugstore Cowboy (1989) * Ken Death Gets Out of Jail (1987) * Five Ways to Kill Yourself (1987) * Mala Noche (1985)
I've always loved Bowie's music...and this one when i was a little girl and my mom would play it..and we would lip sink and dance around.... good memories...
Funny comment but I can imagine Iggy Pop cross-dressing only as an old witch.And by the way ,how did he manage to hide his dick?did he cut it just for the video?
Does anyone else see the similarity between this and Madonna's Hollywood. Fame/Hollywood, the high to low vocal effect("Fame,fame fame... e.t.c/"Push the button, don't push the button,")???
fame, socrates? obviously a rhetorical question. so what would david bowie care about a writer's strike in america? it would be as sub-referenced as dracula 2000, right?
Louise Lecavalier is the dancer...a woman...awesome dancing!

Would you mind posting a vid of the pattern of movements Bowie does at around 1:29 onwards?
I want to learn them, for no particular reason at all... Maybe you could mirror it/slow it down to make it easier?
If it's a big ask just politely decline lol.
