When I fell in love
The Man Who Sold The World, David Bowie (1971)
Here we have the unrequited love stage of my life. We’ve all been there. I couldn’t tell this boy that I loved him because he was involved with someone else, and I can’t tell you who he is because I still see him and he still doesn’t know. I met him in London the other day, in fact. Anyway, this song makes me think of him, and you’re talking to a girl who didn’t even know who David Bowie was until five years ago. Now I’m obsessed with him. This is a great concept for a song, and it has one of the best bass lines of all time.

Finally, in an item about taxation not being cool anymore over at
A paragraph later he recognised who that title really belongs to: “Of course, we shouldn?t be too hard on him. Nobody?s perfectly cool all the time except for maybe David Bowie, and he?s technically not a human being.”
Not sure about the caveat at the end there. But, in fairness to Elliott Kalan, Thomas Jerome Newton was a pretty feckin’ cool non human being.
*Sorry Duffy, but DB has had to put up with ever-ch ch ch ch changing chameleon for years, so it’s time you kids got used to a few cliched labels of your own!
