thank you wells

basically, ever since David Bowie has started on his quest to be relevant 
again (around Outside, maybe Buddha of Suburbia) he's made a complete ass of 
himself.  sure Outside was kind of cool (though really just a sub-par Scott 
Walker album, i'd rather hear Tilt or Climate of Hunter any day) but 
Earthling? all this guitar rock with breakbeat shit is so fucking lame.  all 
David Bowie ever did was rip-off stuff like Scott Walker, Beatles/John Lennon 
or Neu!/La Dusseldorf anyhow...i forgot whut i was saying, but does anyone 
really want to hear ZZTop do a fucking electronic album?   

peace
