I don’t want David Bowie to be afraid of me. I’m nice. Mostly.

Off-topic, but: David Bowie has a Dorian Gray painting in a closet somewhere, doesn’t he?

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.
