Ashes to ashes. Oh how I do love that song.
Yesterday wasn't only Tommy Mullane's birthday, it was David Bowie's birthday as well. David Bowie = 62 years young.
Huh?
And so a little David Bowie youtube time. Is that so wrong?
What is the effect of time on music? What is the effect of time on the musician? What is the effect of time on the musicians hair? I aint got not money and I aint got no hair... Can we learn anything about the effects of time on David Bowie and the song "Ashes to Ashes" vis a vis "our" culture in general?
Do "we" even have a culture anymore?
yes yes, the usual lamentations. Seems like the more things change, the more they stay the same. Hands up, who wants to go to Pioneer Square, sing God Bless America and have a good cry?
