i think it is a remarkable song...not least because the backing track was stolen by the bbc as the 'blankety-blank' theme-tune. bowie's vocal is amazing.

@uclrichard yes of course I had forgotten about that.. lol.. thank you for the reminder :-)

[rbidar]

This song may possibly be creepier that Space Oddity.

[racyweb]

@rbidar if you say so... ??

Ohh RACYWEB, but I love you at any time; Persons like you, here, increase the joy of living.

This video, I think, really sums up your purest Essence, which is closely correlated to the more inner and expansive matrix of David (I suppose): carefree, fresh, ironic, iridescent, volcanic.

To smile so free still, in this world, is by Aliens ... LOL

Dear sweet wonderful Fiorella. I am happy you enjoyed my little video and thank you so much for your words of wisdom and deep generosity. I love you all the time, it is always such a pleasure, so THANK YOU so much :-DD

Compared to the sparser first mix, this is the definitive sparkling version.At the time I didn't think much of it,but around '73 everything Bowie was a must.

Love the very last line, totally made it :L

@poetpiet .. try jebcorliss by the way ... and see him

sheer just above ground at 122mph in a flying squirrelsuit. .. Anyhoo, dave

is as narcissist as an atombomb, their planners, makers and deployers love

nothing so much as themselves and therefore can't get even get that right

[poetpiet]

he really was ahead of me and my crowd .... the pizzeria remodelment financing vouchers for future pizzas and all that came later

but as far as right and wrong ... whole earth catalog type schiz, David too is on about leaning on apple trees as easily as leaning back into his rocketcradle .. It seems he can't be bothered or find the time to make up his mind. (ab)using the wood to sell the smoke is what usually happens, with him it seems reflexive.

[poetpiet]

@racyweb i say so too, it foreshadows worrying trends, albeit more mundanely terrestrial ones, not quite loverboy exploitative but certainly stalky type 'offer you can't not be seduced by' vibe.

-- he pioneered performance futures bubbles, securitzed the hell out of his coming appeal ... and here's a first for you, google "bowie bond bubble" and it should lead right back to this very sentence a while. how loopy is that? He has a problem w sustainability. It's his dreamspell karma. 3eagle.
