I think SRV even toured with him until there was a dispute about money. Peter Frampton stepped in and played the tour. |

LAME SONG BY LAME ARTIST. Some decent guitar work, otherwise BLAH! Never understood why David Bowie is considered so good by so many people. I've tried to listen to him with an open mind but it just don't get it.  |

In the early 1980's I bought a Mercedes 450 SEL from an insurance sale in Beckley WV. It was a big gun boat of a car that had been owned first by the governor of WV, then a divorce lawyer, who apparently had a disgruntled spouse firebomb the car. It flashed through and scorched the interior and broke the windshield. I got an interior from a salvage yard in Charlotte, changed it out, and drove that car for years in Tazewell Virginia. It had a cassette player, and a cassette of this album was in it, intact, and we played it to death. This song still reminds me of the golden years of living in the storybook land of Tazewell VA.

Another great song...from the never ending greatness of Sir David Bowie.

Despite what many may want to insist, I do not find the 1980s to be any more "musically tiresome" than any other decade (Phil Collins notwithstanding) - and this song is originally from the 70s, anyhow. I don't find this version tiresome either. |

I'm not a Bowie fan, but he sure knew a stellar guitarist when he heard one. Rock on Mr. Vaughan!

Totally, and when Iggy Pop covered this Bowie-penned song 6 years prior, he was influenced by Kung Fu Panda 3. 1977 was a wild time.

There was no History Channel when Iggy Pop and David Bowie wrote these lyrics. |

Reminds me of my time spent in Japan as a foreign exchange student, this album had just come out and was extremely popular with my fellow students in Higashiura-cho outside of Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture. My thoughts and prayers to the people affected by the horrible earthquakes and tsunami.
