Way out ahead of everyone... this is what great artists do isn't it? His Berlin era is scary and dark and fantastic. 1977...i can only dimly imagine him and the musicians working on this. This record freaks me out in a way even more now than it did when it came out.
Listen to Joe The Lion. Listen to it loud on an old school stereo with real speakers turned up very loud.
That song references artist Chris Burden! Check him out. Hes famous/infamous for one rather wild scene where he had a friend shoot him in the arm. Yeah. And there's a lot more than that though. Worth a look. How many people get sung about by David Bowie? :)
