And I intentionally recommended glam rock when asked for classic rock because I know there's a bunch of music elitists who take genre way too seriously, and I was intending to needle that mentality in a friendly-ish manner.*jocelyn fox voice* GASPI'm sorry, but to me Bowie is like The Beatles & Pink Floyd, "British WIMP Rock" *Surrounds myself with a pink Force Field* :)
"Gorgeous fellow alien. Took me to dinner once. Lovely person."
Nuff said
I bet you had a wonderful time. And let me guess you like his early work best the whole space theme and all.Absolutely, that was inspired! I originally found out about Bowie when I happened to read about the Ziggy Stardust influences on big pop culture hits, such as Lady Gaga's pokerface music video which quite clearly references Ziggy with the lightning pattern makeup. I loved the whole concept of taking music performance to the next level by not only telling a story with ir, but performing it as the character too. But I have equal adoration for later era Bowie and I support constantly developing as an artist, not letting yourself stagnate in the thing that worked out for you at first.

"Classy!" The singer bursts into the pub with a crazy look in his eyes.Oh wow that's great. Thank you very much.
"I must find Classy right tf now."
He shakes his phone as though it had the answer to all the world's mysteries, headphones still attached whipping around.
"I have found the perfect song for Classy."
He takes the headphones off from his phone and puts the volume to max.
