The element of random surprise, I surmise.

Since Bowie often repeats his lyrics, you might as well follow suit.

RIP Mick - one of the all time greats and one of my all time favourites.  I saw a couple of the Ziggy concerts and he was a standout. {#Notworthy}{#Sunny}

Agreed - hope he starts with my coworkers. But then, maybe I'm needing the alien from Rapture for that....

To hell with the children I'm keeping this boogie for myself - they mostly don't get it anyway.  Give'em 10 years and ask again.  Maybe then they can share the boogie.

Art, You have rated as many songs 1,2, or 3 as you have 8,9, or 10. So it appears that most if not at least half of the songs that are played here you dislike immensely.

Maybe it's time to move to another internet radio station?

Out of all the pop songs ever written, these lyrics probably rate at least in the top 50%.  There's some really bad stuff out there!

Bowie's got to cringe whenever this comes on the radio. Sounds like something written by a 13 year old. Beyond terrible.

Honestly that's not the experience I've had with the current 14-20 generation (I'm only 26 myself). The majority of teens I know think 70's and 80's music is retro, and retro means cool.
 
Well, I guess we've progressed somewhat as a musical "society" since I was between the ages of 14-20, because 30+ year-old music at that time included the era of Glenn Miller & The Andrews Sisters, and believe me, we weren't calling that "retro" or cool in 1975!
