I had this train of thought about David Bowie that I liked enough to make an LJ entry about it.

Regarding the song "Ziggy Stardust" off of "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust".

"Ziggy played guitar" is the best thing Bowie ever wrote.

I really like the way that he starts the song by saying that, and then lets that linger and sink in for just a second before going on, and then ends it with that thought once again.

The album is about the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust, of course. But with that line it is like Bowie is saying that no matter what the person is like, it's just his music we will be left with.
