GregP Feb 2021 1:27pm, 19 Feb 2021 125,306 posts	0 GregP My view and only that is he's a better album artist than a singles machine. A bunch of big singles sound weird to me out of 'context' as it were. Tiny Dancer not being followed by Levon is just wrong. Levon without TD before it ditto.

Diogenes Feb 2021 2:51pm, 19 Feb 2021 57,723 posts	0 Diogenes RM a good song? Let’s take a closer look. “She packed my bags last night pre-flight” <I>Bags? This isn’t an intergalactic cruise on the Starship Titanic.</I> Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids <I>Who said anything about kids?</I> In fact it's cold as hell <I>True, but if we can get you and your kids there, I’m sure we can sort out some heating.</I> And there's no one there to raise them If you did <I>If you did? If you did what? Assuming you mean raise your kids, then by your own admission there must be.</I> And all this science I don't understand <I>Don’t you think you ought to make a bit of an effort? I get the impression that you’re not the right person for this mission.</I> It's just my job five days a week <I>Now I know you haven’t a clue. This isn’t a 9 to 5 job, you don’t get to go home evenings and weekends.</I> The thing is David Bowie had already covered this subject and better in Space Oddity. Reg & Bernie were just jumping on the spacerace bandwagon.

GregP Feb 2021 2:53pm, 19 Feb 2021 125,323 posts	0 GregP RM (ITIGTBALLT) is so much the better song. Jeepers. God save me from revisionist believers in 'Bowie was a rock god who could do no wrong and John was a pop star with a couple of pretty songs'. ~cancels Rolling Stones deathmatch~
