David Bowie rocks. I was lucky enough to work one of his concerts a few years back (I sold t-shirts at a concert venue for a few summers) and he frigging rocked the place. It was some Moby festival, and he was on second-to-last. Had it not been an outdoor venue, he would have blown the doors off the place. And then Moby came up and was solidly "Meh."

Lets not forget the David Bowie and Bing Crosbey team up for the little drummer boy.
Who would Trent Reznor team up with for a christmas song? I would like to hear NIN do frosty, because well thats my fav.,
Whats this song imply anyways that Trent Reznors the new Bowie?
Remember that movie velvet goldmine, was that based on David Bowie?

In regards to Bowie's apparent immortality -- that video is ~10 years old; he was merely 50 at the time.

How about, "I'm afraid of Trent Reznor?"
Seriously. Dude's hot and all, but I get the feeling he'd get clingy and codependent real fast and maybe give me a rash, and then once I dumped him he'd trash me in a song that sold like ten billion copies.

I can't believe that out of all possible videos on the net Maryann picked this one. Awesome, completely awesome.

Are you suggesting that I am not generally awesome, completelu awesome, MBI?

Yes, this has been one of my favourite music videos for years and years now; the actual CD is weird though, just a half-dozen (if I recall) different versions of the song, and the version that's used for the video is the best one anyways. Then again I haven't listened to any of the other versions in a long time; whenever I feel like it I just pop in the music video, when I finally got an mp3 player that could play video files a few years ago it was one of the first videos I re-encoded and put on it :)
RE: Trent being clingy, I think at the time ya might've been right, but in the decade since he's managed to sober up and get all self-empowered :) Still might trash ya in a song, but other than Courtney Love he's never really publicly trashed an Ex, and even then he's been tight-lipped about whether any songs have been about her (not that one can't suspect).
And sorry, MaryAnn, you're only awesome 95% of the time :P
