David Bowie (1947-2016)
"You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on ...
Hot tramp, I love you so!"
(From Rebel Rebel)
When it comes to rock 'n' roll expression, David Bowie didn't flinch. I can't think of Bowie and his "be wild child" mantra and not think of a pal who died too young. Doug Marshall (1955-1976). He adored Bowie and his music with the sweet clarity of a thousand glittering lights.
Bowie, too, died too young. But what a Force he was !
