Thought I was headed out on errands in the Honda but apparently stumbled into my time machine by mistake. They do look very similar. Oh well, like they say: when in Detroit...

No(I know you were kidding)
It is a reference to his time with Iggy Pop while in Detroit

He played this on the Young Americans tour in 1975 in Springfield. Unforgettable.

Used to listen to this album in car on way to band practice near Chicago in early 80's. Takes me back there instantly. Great song.

"Panic" is not a word I would use to describe my city. At least not today.

I hear both—more Bo than QMS ("Who Do You Love", maybe). 

Love Bowie's scream and descending guitar wails at the end.

Personally, I always thought this tune sounded great, but some variation of the clichéd simile "nails on a chalkboard" probably appears in the comments for almost every song on the RP playlist.  It's often caught, red-handed, shooting itself in the foot by biting the hand that feeds it, while running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  Experts agree that it's use should be avoided like the plague. 
Anyhow, opinions may vary about language and music.  Perhaps there are only a few descriptions of aural discomfort, so the old "nails" phrase may never go away.

Sorry, this commentary is terrible.  I'd rather read the unintelligible keystrokes of a monkey on a keyboard.

One of the great things about RP is Bill's ability to segue music together that really make sense.  However, that means sometimes you really dig what you hear for a while, and sometimes ... well .. not.
