    This has to be the most idiotic music/video I have ever seen when it first came out on MTV. I can’t imagine two great performers dancing like children less than 10 years old. Even when I worked at a retail grocery store, MUZAK played this song, (at low volume, thank god) and me and my Customer Service girl both laughed at poked fun at it. Two legendary rock stars stooped down to this.

    Hard to believe David Bowie has been gone for 10 years. Seems like all my childhood favs are dying. I still have my Diamond Dog albums. If my parents had seen that album jacket it would have been confiscated and I would have been grounded. I kept it hidden I was 14 when that album released. When I moved out at 18, I no longer had to hide it. I’m 67 and still love my 70’s music.
