I think...
... this is one of my favorite Bowie songs. I just think it's beautiful... although obviously political.

However, I feel this is one of the most politically important songs of his... initially - that captivated the general masses:

(BUT THEN, REBEL REBEL is very relevant too, as he sings, your mother is "not sure if you're a girl or a boy"! I love that!! (My mother certainly wasn't sure!)

And then... I like this song - not sure totally why... I think that David used stage presence brilliantly from the "get-go" of his career, and then when MTV and VH1 came along - he really took off so well with it! It showed such a different part of the artist for some music performers. (Remember the "early" MTV videos were just the band standing there and performing. Now, we got to see what "they" meant by their song... or wanted us to think anyway.)

(OK, and another version of David's with this song - way before MTV even began... for the curious and artistic/musically historical of minds.)
