"In this unexpected year of Bowie a song of ‘70s memory. Curled up with Young Americans, staring at the sleeve, wondering how to make my hair redder, wavier? How to smoke a cigarette like that? Of twisting hands into the Die Brücke-inspired shapes thrown on the cover of “Heroes”. Of miming to ‘Boys Keep Swinging’ in yr Mama’s earrings. Dressing up to go out. Glamour, Glitter, Fashion, Fame. Our outlandish, urgent, queer youth. So, thank you very much for being out there for us in the ‘70s, David. It was a scream."
