It's the time of year
when our thoughts turn to the patron of Halloween...David Bowie.
You may be asking yourself, "David Bowie the patron of Halloween? Is this possible? How did this happen?"
Well, it was partly a process of elimination. He did try the whole Christmas thing, but it wasn't a good fit. And, well, the 4th of July wasn't quite his thing either. (WARNING: Bad language and blasphemious attitude, also terribly catchy. The song title says it all, though; you don't actually have to listen to it if you'd rather not.)
Halloween, though...that's a holiday Bowie can get into. He was a great Goblin King, to be sure.
Of course, if we had a major holiday for the moon landing, he could do that too.

After watching the Christmas link, I couldn't help but think again how interesting it is that you generally can't get a good idea of someone's singing voice from listening to him talk.
Thanks for the post. Happy Halloween!!
