Not unheard of, or unappreciated, just not the cultural phenomenon I saw out there in the Ziggy Stardust Diamond Dog days.<br /><br />I think Bobo is coming to grip with his culpability in the matter at hand.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-50246005377224535642016-01-11T13:36:20.735-05:002016-01-11T13:36:20.735-05:00Is that what Bowie was about?

But I guess I'm from that older-brother Beatles world, so I wouldn't.<br /><br />Brooks is surely talking about the fantasy Rubio in his head. The real-life Rubio we've been watching since the hasty drink of water in 2013 is as grim and monitory as anybody, trying to look extra serious, with his lips pressed together, and spending all his time prophesying doom, talking as fast as he can as if he fears he hasn't got enough breath to tell you all the terrible things that are happening (really focusing on that because his own policy ideas are so sketchy).Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-29671189185066783082016-01-11T12:21:43.438-05:002016-01-11T12:21:43.438-05:00You can look at our country through half full or h...You can look at our country through half full or half empty glasses. You seem to be the age where realizing that the past is gone forever is just starting to sink in. <br /><br />I see an active, young, diverse and energetic populace that is ready to vote for a Democratic candidate (yeah, I'm an ancient professor). I see old miserable rich people who vote their fears and Republican dying off (just visited my way older brother in Vegas). <br /><br />I see a country that, in eleven years, went from DOMA to gay marriage enshrined in every state. It took 102 years to allow the last minority to get the right to marry legally. The youngsters text, snapchat, friend, and talk to each other constantly. They are better informed, not swayed by big media, and are way more open minded than we ever were. And they all like Obama. I see good times ahead for those of us who still call themselves liberal.Luigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483229810538275725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-17252024475554164152016-01-11T12:01:32.389-05:002016-01-11T12:01:32.389-05:00Absolutely.Absolutely.Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11963290427258439242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-73985090702759439402016-01-11T11:11:00.829-05:002016-01-11T11:11:00.829-05:00Reading this the lines from All the Young Dudes le...Reading this the lines from All the Young Dudes leaps to mind<br />"Well my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones<br />We never got it off on that revolution stuff, <br />What a drag<br />too many snags"<br />Rather summed the feeling up one thinks.Professor Fatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108986924433403691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-59077009244972311402016-01-11T11:03:49.150-05:002016-01-11T11:03:49.150-05:00While I was never a huge Bowie fan, strangely eno...While I was never a huge Bowie fan, strangely enough, I was whistling "Life on Mars" on the way into work -- then I find this out.
