When I heard this song the first time, I was a pre-teen, and a pal was jamming with my sister and I in his back porch; he on guitar, I was playing his brother's bass, and my sister was banging on the drum set. Anyway, this song comes on, and in my head I'm thinking wow, and I started playing along. After it was over, and we were jamming again, I took what I thought I was hearing in that song, and started playing some riffs we had been writing, but playing them backwards, like notes in reverse order, and then tuned the bass down so it was a little out of tune. Of course this isn't what happens in the song, but it's what I heard and it was inspiring. We wrote a couple songs that afternoon with these reversed riffs. Anyway here's that dude's cousin on bass in this song:
I’m embarrassed to say i never appreciated the magnitude of Bowie genius until music basically became free and then discovered the countless magnificent Bowie songs that never got a whiff of airplay… fear of the ambiguous sexuality? There’s sooooo many bangers by that dude that were a bit too risky for radio or MTV rotation…
Same, I had always "heard of" Bowie, but never ever heard his music because it was never played (I grew up mostly in 80s). Totally was the final taboo of gays and ambiguously gay gays, the last one to fall in the 80s and 90s. Everyone talked about this awesome musician Bowie, but no one wanted to be the one to give him airtime. I have him in my Pandora rotation and when I really want a deep dive into non-traditional musician driven songs, like sitting in my car in a Wawa parking lot before an AMP session, he's on the list!
Speaking of sitting in a Wawa parking lot before a session, here's what's making 50 people stop and stare at old Vlad right now:

Yea dude! Nancy fucking Wilson... even though she's SEVENTY, she's still number one on my list of famous persons I'd pay everything to DATYO once. I met her many times, but at party after their HOF induction I spent almost an hour with her and her road manager, a mutual friend with my old school roomie. The whole time all I could think of was DATYO DATYO DATYO DATYO! And she was SIXTY then! I'd cash in all my chips today to DATYO her while she's tearing it up playing this jam ....
