...1988 I was in the seminary wondering what to do with the rest of my life. I was holding a place in university back in London and seriously considering joining the army. Randy Newman came out to play a couple of concerts and I sat in my dorm missing the evening lecture and tuned in my radio to the live broadcast because I figured he was an artist that I should get to know better.

Will just be another American town
Oh, how...

The groove is urgent and compulsive, Bowie even borrows a familiar rock catch phrase from Springsteen, he had admired "the Boss" since...
