Clovers In The Atmosphere

I had an amazing revelation the other day. I listened to an entire David Bowie album and it blew my fucking mind. Has this ever happened to you? You listen to an album and you can't believe you went this long in your life without having a good understanding of this artist's work. It is like if you just listened to a Bob Dylan album for the first time at 25. I had only heard bowie on the radio on which he sounds sortof tinny and dated. Making it all the way through "Ziggy Stardust" allowed me a chance to immerse myself in glam, rather than bouncing off of it. Glam is a fantasy world. You can't let someone else tell you your dream. You have to be there to feel the emotional changes.
The last time this happened to me was with Patti Smith. If you only want to use one dollar to see if I am crazy, listen to "Pissing in a River" off of Radio Ethopia. Patti Smith with rip out your heart, burn down your house, and make it all seem like art. If you have missed out until now, get on it.
