Cover art for Gunman lyrics by Adrian Belew

It's about children enthralled by celebrities and fictional characters -- especially action heroes -- to the exclusion of their parents and other real adults in their lives. Oh, just a remark. Belew hands the vocal reigns to none other than the greatest and most enchanting male rock star who ever lived. The Gentleman. Mr. B. The Thin White EMPEROR. A fellow named David Robert Jones. That's right. David Bowie himself
