Copacabana

The wisdom of Bowie

I saw this crazy character a few years back in Atlanta and it was an experience. As much as he gets lauded as brilliant, I still think he's vastly underrated. Been listening to this song lately from Hunky Dory:

But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

~Life on Mars, David Bowie
