Mr.C Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Nope, 1978 for me. Got most before and up to 1982 then..... I get a bit lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I was a fan of allot of his earlier stuff, but to be honest this was one i have never seen before, in his mind i suppose it was telling a story from his own weird world. He was way ahead of his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 If I remember correctly,,,, this was asked at that particular time,,,, and it was DB looking peacefully towards his approaching death, and it refers loosely to cancer etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I'm a big fan too, but no. I think as has been suggested it's a nod to mortality but I also reckon he would have wanted there to be ambiguity too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an early teenager of the time I wasn’t keen on his ‘look’, thinking it very effeminate, but I thought his music was simply fabulous. I recall walking down to the youth club one Sunday evening feeling fair chuffed with myself because I knew all the words to Starman. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
