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
I guess this must be Reggie Love’s rendition of 0b0z0 and the SC judges.
Played on a fast-pitch softball team called the Diamond Dogs...a few years ago!!
So...
Not...
Right...
