I'm a huge Bowie fan and all, but that was a little... off.

(I'm also afraid of Americans.)

Wonder when we're going to turn 9/11 into a national holiday...like Memorial Day, etc.

Hehe. My last green was Simon and Garfunkel with an inspiring performance of "America" in Central Park.

I really love the Yes version, too.

STFU. If it weren't for us, you'd all be speaking GERMAN now.

Funny. Stevie Riks covered this as David Bowie (check him out on YouTube. He's awesome.) and I didn't realize at the time that Bowie had actually covered this song.

Here's the Stevie Riks version, as Bowie, Here (new window)

Oh, and I also recommend this link for more of Stevie Riks' Bowie impression: Through the years. (new window)
