David Bowie: (Spaceboy)
The alien who swapped faces like clothes-elf one year, duke the next. Ziggy, Aladdin, Hallo Spaceboy, Thin White, every persona a glitter bomb. Wrote All the Young Dudes, gave Lou Reed Transformer, dressed Roxy in synths, then vanished. Voice like glass and velvet. Posts multiplying faster than his personas.
