Glam Rock: David Bowie’s Oh, You Pretty Things
A Videos entry from Tuesday, September 18, 2007One of my favorite Bowie performances. Someone had been watching the Hey Jude video.
Thematically, the song has been seen as reflecting the influence of occultist Aleister Crowley and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, and heralding “the impending obsolescence of the human race in favor of an alliance between arriving aliens and the youth of the present society”. (via Wikipedia.)
