Yes Major Tom was good, our family had the Ziggy Stardust album, but outside of that, never liked anything else he did.
I concede he had some talent, but he was not a very good example dressing and acting like a queer etc
I was a big fan of Mott The Hoople though, he apparently was a big help to them, wrote one of their biggest hits...ALL THE YOUNG DUDES
in my opinion he had a limited amount of good music and the vast majority was trash
God Bless his soul
I remember the character that sang the song for Cheech and Chong's "Earache My Eye" was called "Alice Bowie", which obviously was a combination of Alice Cooper and David Bowie:
My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve
My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose
My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team
For wearin' high-heel sneakers and actin' like a queen
The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair
And it don't bother me if people think I'm "funny"
'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money
money, money, money, money, money, money
Ahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
I'm so bloody rich! Ha ha ha ha
I own apartment buildings and shopping centers! Ha ha ha ha
And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha ha
