As the World Falls Down

So I was on my run, and this came on the ipod. I've shared my love for this track with other David Bowie enthusiasts and they seem to think it's one of his worst moments, but these same enthusiasts knew nothing of his "Peter and the Wolf" narration, and thought very little of his "Little Drummer Boy" performance with Bing Crosby.

Just as a matter of interest: this is Bing performing "Just a Gigalo" and here is Bowie IN "Just a Gigalo"

Connecting the dots... la la la la... connecting the dots...

Fully and completely, I would like nothing more then to be at a masquerade with David Bowie crooning me.... as much as I would love him reading me a bedtime story... and having him over for a Christmas gathering... again... crooning me. So I suppose it's only natural, being female, that I like the bits of Bowie that I do. It's one of Bowie's amazing qualities that he is able to speak to, and appeal to such a diverse audience.

Bowie is ambiguous; David is a husband and father.

I admit it, I like his conservative side. I like thinking that someone as outlandish as Bowie can be so.... ordinary. I think he liked that bit too. I think he was a Old Romantic at heart... an old soul. Did I mention that I read "David Bowie: The Complete Narrative"? Well I did, and it was great. So yes, I know things.

Did I also mention I am obsessed with him? No?
Yeah... I wasn't aware of that either, but now that I think of it, I have never been so fascinated with anyone as much as Bowie. hmmmmm. It's weird though, because I'll forget about it, and then all the sudden... BOWIE. He comforts me.

For sure he will be in my dream tonight. Speaking of which... I can remember one in particular... holly hail marry... it was hoooooot. oi.

yeah. who knew?
