I was taken back to here that Bowie had just turned 65.BBC 6 music devoted an entire day to the great man on his birthday. What is it that continues to fascinate I wonmder. For me Bowie has always been about mutability. The possiblity of changing into something else. Not surprising then in our world where change and reinvention are demanded of us that Bowie still seems to be relevant. I can still remember exactly where I was when I heard this song. I was standing (not by the wall!) but in the Blue Note club in Derby (perhps 1978) talking to Dawn Clarke when I think a live version of this song came on...amazing.
