GUEST REVIEW by Madeline Bocaro
| We could be Heroes just for one day Just one classic Bowie line, besides ‘I am gay’ For so long he has been away So many years with nothing to say Then he went to sleep one night It took a long time to see the light Awakening after 30 years with a beard He finds that he is still quite weird The same old questions are still on his mind Where Are We Now? and Who am I? Such beautiful weirdness What goes on in his mind? Visconti & Slick and some cool bits of sax And at last, Queen Bitch is back Every great Bowie era is mixed together Raw as nerves and plush as leather All of his best voices are back in the cast Bursts of newness and blasts from the past Rock N’ Roll Suicide in Heartbreak Hotel Five Years, end of the world and Droogs as well Weird tempos and sounds – not sure what he’s saying The perils of fame and cities decaying The boy keeps swinging Our ears keep ringing He’s got something to say In his own cryptic way What’s he talking about? We don’t know Mishima did not have a dog And peacocks don’t like snow His life has flashed before his eyes Not quite dying and no disguise Not much has changed Bowie is still strange And for what it’s all worth He is still here on Earth Welcome back David Hope you’re here to stay Wishing you the best for the next, and another day! |
