David Bowie's Rock and Roll Suicide

This is my favorite David Bowie song so imagine my delight when I found this video. David Bowie and... puppets. Wonderful!

My husband and I have a theory that the best songs are often ones by legendary artists that are not typically played incessantly. Like the best Beatles songs are "Norwegian Wood" and "Here, There and Everywhere," not "Revolution" or "Hey Jude" mainly because they're less common and therefore more precious. This is absolutely true for David Bowie. When I hear "Fame" on the radio, I race to turn the station. "Changes" is similarly boring, and don't even get me started on his 1980's ouevre. But "Rock and Roll Suicide" is amazing. From the opening guitar riff to the buildup in the middle to (you're not alone... give me your hands...) to the ending chorus of "Wonderfuls," this is Bowie at his best.
