Thin White Rebel Alien

Feeling a bit better this morning - I’d say only 90% of humanity is horrible, as opposed to the 95% poll numbers taken last night in my angry mind. Oh, there was genuine Italian Nutella on the table this morning, so, 89%, factoring in Italians who make Nutella.

Anyways, David Bowie turned 65, and even though I should despise him for still being better-looking than I’ll ever be, I don’t. His work is extraordinary. The lyrics to Life On Mars are as good as anything Bob Dylan ever wrote, and I’d stand on your coffee table to tell you so. If I were gay, I’d try to go out with him, even though that is seriously punching over my weight class, and then, even though we’d have lovely conversations about art and cinema and music, he’d find out I was a sports fan, and we’d get to that you’re-really-great-but-we’re-not-compatible bit. Sigh.

So Spotify made a playlist to celebrate, but it’s a retread of his greatest hits, which any shaved monkey with access to Wikipedia can make. The link above is to my list, comprised of tracks not usually heard on a Triple Play Tuesday. Enjoy. (The isolated vocal and cello track to Space Oddity is especially lovely)
