Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
David Bowie
Image
I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.
David Bowie

Ground control to Major Tom.
David Bowie
Image
My particular thing is discovering what can be done with media and how it can be used. You can't draw people together like one big huge family, people don't want that. They want isolation or a tribal thing.
David Bowie
Image
I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie
