@[georgy:50573] agreed. Although in nostalgic retrospect, it's hard for me to imagine wanting to stop the world and get off as you sat and wrote this , the summer after I graduated from high school. Especially considering how the world is now. It's even harder to imagine it in '71. Literally as I was not yet born. Figuratively because I've always imagined that if I could time travel to a different time, it would be the early 70s. 2024 blows. Social media blows. Or is it that I'm becoming increasingly jaded? If I'm still around in my very early 60s, maybe this page will still be here and Gen Z can tell me. Although I will probably just have to ask my kids since technology has progressed so much in the past 22 years that I'm sure in another 22 years if the world is still even here and not some post apocalyptic wasteland... I'll likely have no idea how to use it anymore. Barely do now and I haven't hit 40 quite yet. Damn I miss 2002 internet. Met my husband back in those "wild west" days of the "here" My God I need to go to bed and quit reading song analyses... Okay, um... Gonna awkwardly leave now. |

| @[TheWildabeast:50572] I don't think he put that much thought into .I don't mean that he put little thought into it, just not the amount described in your comment. That's one of the biggest reasons I love music so much, though. The way most artists are cool with letting us put whatever meaning speaks to our hearts onto their work is so special and it's obvious from his music that Bowie was very cool with it. Your interpretation was really enjoyable to read and made a lot of sense. | |
