MUSIC WAS BETTER WHEN
IT HAD COMPANY
Ziggy was sailing beyond the atmosphere. Must be interesting
being driven by solar winds, irradiated by plasma and gamma rays, the disorientation
of not correctly navigating. Now I know why Starman was waiting in the sky—he was
lost and all the glam kids were using the opportunity to blow their minds to
find him.

Friday again! One of these weeks I will actually write one
of these on Thursday (even though that seems like cheating) and link this 55
word Odyssey to ziGgy Man before mid-day Friday.
Children of The Revolution Lyrics
Yeah
Well, you can bump and grind, it is good for your mind
Well, you can twist and shout, let it all hang out
Well, you can twist and shout, let it all hang out
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no no
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no no
Well, you can tear a plane in the falling rain
I drive a Rolls Royce 'cause it's good for my voice
I drive a Rolls Royce 'cause it's good for my voice
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no no, yeah
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no no, yeah
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution, no way, yeah, wow
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution, no way, yeah, wow

ReplyDeleteCharles--you know musicians
DeleteSounds like a good excuse to me.
ReplyDeleteIt was for me Alice.
DeleteNow that's a psychedelic trip.
ReplyDeleteYes Vanessa, granny dresses (commando) and paisley shirts.
DeleteFunny, because the children of the revolution grew up and their children seem so easily and completely fooled.
ReplyDeletePicked up on that did ya Talon. I just wonder how we let them not learn objective discrimination.
DeleteThe Revolution will not be televised.
ReplyDeleteKick out the jams, M***F***-r!
Aloha

Thanks for playing, thanks for your great support, and have a Kick ...er Bang a Gong Week-End

Delete'don't bogart that joint, my friend...'
ReplyDeleteAlways willing to share (for medicinal purposes of course Tony)
Deleteno this revolution has been on the iPod & Pad, no need to televise and all have been enslaved, thats for sure...tech is the new drug...jack in...ha...pretty cool song....
ReplyDeleteThere was an in between time of Boom Boxes and hip huggers Brian--it was called Disco.
DeleteOh my....I was a child of the revolution hippie style in the 60's. Love the trip your words took me on.
ReplyDeleteHold on a sec Susie were your parents hippies or were you genT Rex kid? I miss LSD, Peyote,Yellow Belladonna and flannel shirts in July.
DeletePerfect video of an iconic song by the awesomest of them all--my Main Man, so to speak. I vibe on your prose too, tho I think the starman held some distance because he was afraid of being sued in the voodoo courts by the wizard himself. If there was one artist today of Bolan's grandeur this world she might be saved. Look at the way he mocks the proceedings as the mind control they are without once breaking character as the dandy of total squalor, total decadence, total cool.
ReplyDeleteI'd daffinately like to hear your thesis on why Lady Stardust is Mr. Bolan, but I can't be greedy at such a gift of music and sight.
