Lou Reed wrote this with John Cale years before he met Bowie.
Bowie was an early fan of the Velvet Underground.

I think Crazytree has a good point. Bowie using the artificial way to convert his performance but he's quite good at making it look effortlessly. It's because he's a big coker and he is cool out there.

Bowie is the man!
-
Don't know why but I hate when this song is sang waiting for THE man instead of waiting for MY man. Not in a gay way, but it makes it impersonal when saying he's my man, like my main man, that's what makes the song really. THE man is the government, my man is my buddy.

@c8udyp good one!
-
@crazytree yes we all know about the cocaine problems in the mid-70's w/ bowie, but on stage, he wasn't ever coked up.

Brilliant. Simple really.

the complete opposite of Lou Reed, pretentious, rehearsed and artificial.

Your skill of categorization is just on very low level.
Reality is not only white and black.
They've just tooking other drugs.
Reed was heroinist, Bowie was cocainist.
It very sad for me in every case, because they are a greats.
