The man who sold the world?



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

1. I love the Nirvana version of that
And Bowie is kinda looking Cobain-ish in that picture, haha.

3. Bowie never changes
In my opinion, he is endless.

5. Dude, I remember MMS broadcast the first Bowie concert at
Music Hall live....

About thirty of us gathered down at Cedar Point hill in the Rocky river reservation, rolled up some major dubbage and grooved to the androgynous rock start who had all our parent worried we would all end up queer.....

8. The cool thing I learned of life is
If we miss a few minutes, there are many more hours left to look at. Being 10 or 50 is just a matter of taste and age is just a happening that we live through but we don't need to score or calculate, it's a matter of mind and not a sure thing.

10. It's not about being buzzed
I think what I think in any condition.

Life is easy, you just have to breathe. The rest of it takes care of itself. Too many people mindfuck themselves into thinking that they are too important and if they have a tough time at living, it will ruin the world. It won't.

11. You are right....
I spent a whole lot of time living under that delusion...

Since I found a way to look at life and try to live it to the fullest, well, things have gotten a lot easier.....
