"HEROES"

Der Schauspieler und Sänger #AlexanderScheer geht mit dieser David #Bowie-Hommage auf eine literarisch-musikalische Spurensuche. Beste Unterhaltung - großartig gesungen...

Der Live-Comic-Zeichner #ReinhardKleist - Schöpfer der Graphic Novel STARMAN - DAVID BOWIE’S ZIGGY STARDUST YEARS - ist auch dabei.

Allen, die Berlin und David Bowie lieben sei dieser Abend sehrsehrsehr empfohlen.

The prompt is Utopia


#DavidBowie, “Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed”
from Bowie’s second album issued as “David Bowie” in the UK, “Man of Words/Man of Music David Bowie” in the States, 1969

(The single “Space Oddity” wasn’t an instant hit but in 1972 it followed Ziggy Stardust back to radio, prompting the album's rerelease as “Space Oddity.”)

Lyric:
I'm the cream
Of the great Utopia dream
And you're the gleam
In the depths of your banker's spleen

Bowie's “Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed” seems to critique society's class structure, via a lot of hippy-dippy weirdness - but the ringing 12-string is lovely, the chord progression sets the drama building, and there’s a freedom to the vocals from this fresh-faced flouncy-haired lad, so endearing though so soon supplanted with the switch of the eponymous album’s cover headshot to the coiffed and glittered spaceman of #SpaceOddity's cover.
