David Bowie, the ultimate complex human form.

Upvote for "David Bowie's locker"

I was introduced to the song by Bowie via Pinups. But this is the ultimate cover of the tune.

If the second coming of Jesus happened tomorrow and it turned out it had been David Bowie all along and he was wearing a leprechaun costume I would still not give 45% chance of a unified Ireland.

Great overview, but i think the specifics are a little academic (as in not based on first hand experience).

Agreed, but there are more appropriate ones... \m/


Anyway, aside from how I feel about them trying to cash in on Bowie's death, I just don't actually like that cover. It reminds me of Republicans wanting to use "Born in the USA" as a campaign song....

My first instrument was the drums and I would rather listen to my neighbor's dog bark all day then hear most drum solos. She's competent and has done her homework but it's still as formulaic and predictable as most drum solos are.

Now THIS is a drum solo, Dennis Davis was Bowie's drummer for a number of years and I still crank this 8 minute solo 40 years after it was recorded in 1976. I have yet to hear any musician top this solo on any instrument, for my money.

I'm sill rockin out to "Ma car is dirty". That was originally a Bowie track, right?

BTW, I'd forgive a lot of the asshatery at the end given the adrenaline injection you get in tornadoes.

I only saw the Bowie perform live with nails so all I have is video reference and the stories.

It's a decent tribute.

And I'm okay with the Lady Gaga...she is more talented than Spears was.

Your video, Canada misses Bowie, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I love that movie as well. I last watched it, sheesh, probably 10 years ago now. It was the first time I'd watched it since I was a kid, and from then until forever I associate this film with the phrase "David Bowie's Codpiece".
Still an awesome movie!

Oh shit! I just saw the thumbnail and thought Jeff Bridges died too! DUDE!
Bowie quit being The Starman in the 70's. I wish it wasn't all people remember about him.

Because David Bowie
