That whole Ziggy Stardust thing is so damn sexy don't you think? I mean its just nonsense and its brilliant.
If this was made today it would end up on the Starbucks most played song CD. This my friends is the birth of so much, of hipsters and punk rock and art rock this is it…right here. This is the man who created it, tip your hat to Bowie Stardust.
Its funny if someone were to sing this to you, you'd furrow a brow no matter how lovely the singers voice was. You've heard it, you simply cannot place it.
When you listen to Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars this song acts as a butler ushering you in to this abstract world. Leave your coat with it.
Unless your lips are secured on the fine tip of a hose chances are your not solemn enough to 'get it' anyway. Horrible to say isn't it? As if altering your state could give you clarity, in the case of this turning point I have to say yeah, it does.
So from what I gather here is Mr Stardust says Earth has about five years til its done. This apparently came after a dream Bowie once had, or was it a trip? Regardless thats it- you got Five Years so best make the best of it.
Silly Ziggy that was 1972… hmm anything exciting happen in 1977? Well Elvis died… GASP a premonition? Not sure but but my brain hurts alot too.
Great song- Bowie is the master of us all, or was. Lets not forget it.
Unfortunately, I cant embed it here, damn disablers. I can offer you a link to a very thin, very frail and very cool Bowie performing this on Whistle Stop
