...A woman acting like a woman acting like a man acting like a woman.
Funny how the boys these days aren't too keen on reviving glam. The girls do an alright job, I guess, but it's not as outrageous; part of the fun of seeing Bowie all dolled up is that there was a man under all that makeup. Nope, nowadays rock music is dominated by a bunch of pseudo-masculine guys who take themselves too seriously and worship at the altar of metal. Maybe someone should remind them that the metal god they kneel before started out wearing spandex and listening to Slade and T. Rex.
