Heroes and the Glass Spider
One of my favorite performances of ‘Heroes’ was during Glass Spider. Now, a lot of critics panned the tour. I am however, biased. I was there. It was what I expected of Bowie. A little glam, some bizarre choreography, and great tunes performed to perfection. It was his second “happy” tour, featuring a lot of his recent hits at the time. However, he threw in some staples, and, some off-beat stuff such as Sons of the Silent Age. However, the song that got me absolutely over the edge was the same song that always got me pumped:
Immediately after ‘Heroes’ was over, and I was still enthralled with the entire effect of the sound and vision, my date asked me when he was going to perform White Wedding or Rebel Yell. That was her last concert with me.

Who’ll love a lad insane?
One of the main reasons I decided to blog on Bowie was not so much just Bowie himself, but the rather curious world he created around him. From pretty much the beginning, he just tended to, whether he meant to or not, attract the oddities. Some became rather famous, some remained rather obscure. This guy never became famous that I’m aware of. In fact, I doubt he ever left the mental hospital:
Kinda makes me wonder why this guy and I have one thing in common? I gotta admit tho, he recites Aladdin Sane
