David Bowie: Rebel Rebel - Seconds
"most"
but still, it's always nice to see some Don Dixon love.
His transmutation of blues tropes was even more explicit in the opening of "Moonage Daydream", when he claims "I'm an alligator", then transcends gender by becoming "a mama-papa coming for you", until lift off is achieved and this world can no longer contain his imperial bluesness and he turns into a "space invader" and a "rock'n'roll bitch for you". Yep. He's Blind Laughing Gnome, Thames Delta Bluesman extraordinaire.
Not sure the "Born to Run" analogy is too valid, but overall I enjoyed this article.
