Diamond Dogs is one weird album. I think Aladdin Sane hints more at the whole rape thing, though.
“The shutters lifted in inches on Temperance Hill, as red mutant eyes gazed on Hunger City, no more big wheels.”
“Fleas the size of rats, sucked on rats the size of cats”
—Future Legend, Diamond Dogs
Weird stuff.
Of course, Bowie might get a pass from the feminist crowd because:
“You’ve got your mother in a whirl, cause she’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl.”
—Rebel, Rebel; Diamond Dogs
Uh oh.
Don’t be shocked if Shibumi comes by to elaborate on the meaning of the entire Bowie catalog...;D
