It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

That is my essential David Bowie wish list, totaled at (an estimated) $1200. But, I don't suppose that matters, since it is only my materialistic view of David, and he is multi-faceted in all his trendsetting glory. If you want to know when I started "worshipping" this glam rock god, let us rewind the tape to my 15th birthday:

It was a typical September day and I invited the usual crowd, cut the usual chocolate cake, and blew out another set of candles. What was extraordinarily unusual was the gift that my best mate, Ashley, gave me: The Labyrinth DVD. I watched that movie inside and out, memorizing every word and dancing to every song. What caught my attention the most was Jareth, the ultra sexy Goblin King.

I asked Ashley if she knew who this man was, and she casually told me to look him up in the credits. So, I did and "David Bowie" popped up. I researched and found the most wonderfully complex profile of the perfect man/rock star/glam rock god. No, seriously, if somebody held a contest in search for the world's most perfect man, he would win it hands down.

His music is the purest form of art that I have ever seen in my life, and I thank him for that. Without his music, I might have gone mad in this reality. It has kept me sane, if you know what I mean..
