The David Bowie Appreciation Thread

I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!

Tonight, I just decided to turn off my TV and just listen to David Bowie songs for an hour or so on my computer.

Rather than list all my favorites, I'll just list what I played so far:

Time
Something in the Air
China Girl
Sorrow
Space Oddity
Breaking Glass
Modern Love
Drive in Saturday

I first started digging David Bowie after Labyrinth....the songs (to me, a seven year old) were dope....the very next music I got after the Labrinth soundtrack was the Sound & Vision boxed set. Then, the Tin Machine album.

(I can't believe I listened to all this in elementary school!)

I adore David Bowie. Sound+Vision disc 2 is sheer perfection.

I love David Bowie too.

And I had a crush on him during the "Let's Dance" days, even though he is, technically, old enough to be my father.

David Bowie got really good fashion sense.

Changes
-David Bowie

I still down know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seems the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Don't have to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a better man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days flow through my eyes
But the days still seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consolations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change them
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Look out you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

LOVE David Bowie. I saw the Glass Spider concert twice when I was a junior in high school.... He is amazing live & has an awesome voice! (Oh, and I loved Labyrinth too).

I like the one from "A Knight's Tale." I think it's called Golden Years?

That's what's seriously missing from my music collection!! I *heart* David Bowie.

I, too, loved Labyrinth. I bet I watched it over 50 times (we had a pirated copy from the video store until a "friend" borrowed it and never returned it!!! (bitch).

You remind me of the babe
what babe
the babe with the power
what power
the power of voodoo
who do
you do
do what
remind me of the babe

Random fact that I learned from the DVD:

Gates McFadden, who played "Dr. Beverly Crusher" on Star Trek: The Next Generation, was a choreographer for Labyrinth. I beleive she not only choreographed the ballroom scene, but also several fights during the attack on the Goblin City.

Oh, that's so cool! I didn't not know that. I'm a big Star Trek fan too.

I know, I know...I'm a big geek!

Labrynth is full of gratuitous shots of David Bowie's crotch.
