This is one of my all time favorite songs. I don't hear it on the radio enough. Course I've got Hunky Dory and all the great Bowie albums of the 70's. I find it disturbing that I never see a David Bowie T-shirt at Hot Topic, Spencers, etc... By all rights Bowie should be as popular to teenagers today as Led Zeppelin is. He is one of (if not, theee) most influential artists of the 70's. In an odd way he is sort of underrated, even though he is a superstar and one of the most prolific, dynamic artists ever. He's kind of famous for his less ambitious era: the 80's (not unlike the band Genesis). I recently mentioned Bowie to a 20 something cousin of mine. He said, "David Bowie? Isn't he the guy who did that song Let's Dance?" I responded, "No, he's the guy who is responsible for inventing several musical genres and having one of the most amazingly diverse careers in all of music history. But yeah he did do the song Let's dance."
@nuttinbutnate For some reason Bowie has always had a sort of cult following, which i think makes him that much more interesting. It's amazing how influential he is and all most people know him for is "Let's Dance" and "Labyrinth". Which are awesome in their own right, but he is so much more and it's sad people don't realize that.
