Oh, and although people often say he should go back on them, we could add drugs to the list of things that have undermined Bowie's clarity and coherence.

Of course, I also like the nonsense style. 'Blackout' off "Heroes" makes no sense, but is fantastic expressionist poetry.

Ned, stop rescuing damsels in distress!

You're always ruining my fun! *cries*

I was just looking for a thread to proclaim the obvious, i.e. that "Oh You Pretty Things" is a fucking perfect song. So why aren't there a lot of covers of it? Because, like another of my favorite songs, "What a Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers, it's relatively challenging to play and sing well.

He was a good songwriter imo. That B.E.F./Billy Mackenzie cover is wild.
