The Man Who Sold The World [and Bought the White House]
"We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long, long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long, long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world"
David Bowie, 1970.

Postscript: #ReevesGabrels was playing slide #guitar in “country-pop” band #RubberRodeo after their 1986 release produced by #DavidBowie collaborator Ken Scott (#music engineer on #SpaceOddity & #TheManWhoSoldTheWorld, producer on #HunkyDory, #ZiggyStardust, #AladdinSane).
So a different and less-#1980s-bombast version of #Bowie’s #NeverLetMeDown could have happened then!
Maybe critics wouldn’t have panned it so hard; maybe he wouldn’t have reacted with five years of #TinMachine. Maybe, maybe…
"It will also have a 'devastating' effect on astronomy research and stargazing worldwide, Lawler said.
"There shouldn't have to be a choice between good internet and being able to see the night sky at night to see the stars," said Lawler.
"She added that solar power networks and fibre optic expansions could be other options to improve connectivity.
"Besides light pollution, the authors of the paper note that the launch of these satellites contributes to atmospheric pollution, both on launch and re-entry, and increase the risk of more #satellite collisions in space."
When you are listening to a David Bowie playlist and think why is it playing Nirvana all of the sudden?
