That's Ziggy Stardust and I think he came from that planet!🤔

My second-favorite Bowie song. 🙂🎶🎼🎵

Another great song from the same album, as it was used for the end credits of the hilarious Wes Anderson film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
(which is both a parody of and homage to Jacques Cousteau)

@LilMissAnonyMOUSE thankfully Bowie seems to have been an anti-Hemingway when it comes to respect for animals other than humans 🐘
I thought maybe Anderson was just simply going with arguably one of the most recognizable Brazilian names of all time, for his Brazilian character, but it does in fact seem to be the case that he is actually a futebol fan.
It would've been interesting to see what would've happened had Bowie not chosen a path in his other artistic endeavors. It's all the more remarkable with how history transpired though, with him truly being a bit of a modern Renaissance man ☺

@BlueGreenGrey I was just reminded of Mr.Rollins' tale about the thin white duke-

@dubkebab wow Bowie covered Laurie Anderson ... but then I guess that's not so strange, since he was friends with her husband (there was actually a restaurant here in Charleston called the Hominy Grill (which closed back in 2019) that had an autographed photo of both Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed dining at one of their tables ... I remembered being surprised to see the photo on the wall (this was either 2008 or 2009 ... apparently around the time they both got married, incidentally)
For some reason around the time the restaurant was closing for good, the chef posted a pic of the blank space on the wall where the pic had been (grrrr a pic of the pic would be more helpful, don't taunt me 🤣

It's pretty cool that Bowie knew of Henry, even reading interviews with him, and really followed through on getting Reed to call Henry!
Thanks for sharing this, this was awesome!
edit:
This is a pretty damn intriguing cover, even though he seems to only be handling some of the vocals:
