This here is my most favorite album of all time. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. My friend Kevo bought me the original vinyl version when we lived together.
I would venture to say that the overwhelming majority of music worth listening to these days has at least a bit of artistic origin in one of Ziggy's eleven brilliant tracks. I hear Coldplay in Five Years. I hear the Lips in Soul Love and Starman. I hear alt-country in It Ain't Easy. And I hear one of the greatest rock songs ever in Suffragette City.
This record has touched lots of great stuff.
In this, this record is like the Hamster, my friend, Kevin Still.
He likes to touch people.
Men, women, children; indiscriminate is the Hamster, towards those he touches.
So here's to you Kevin. Touching people. It's what you do.
Happy Birthday.

I'm so glad to know that Kevin IS the hamster. Call me naive, but I was unaware. Yes, Happy Birthday Kevin. I don't know you well, but I wish I did. And I admire your choice of friends.
Vive la Kevin!!
(loosely translated - Live the Kevin Life!!)

Happy one hamster.
Ke-vin. My identity was cleared up on a certain hispanic man's blog space that I am the sister of one Stevie Manuel, aka Albino Monkey Man. I am Bonnie. White. But, unlike my chameleoned-haired bro, my hair is not.
ps - I'm glad Sean, who I don't know at all, wants to be me. I take that as a compliment. I'm pretty sure he's cool.
word verification- tergin- as in, "My compost pile has become tergin and dank, and if I don't put the shovel to that mess, I just may vomit if I have to smell it again. That would also be tergin."
The mystery unveiled...hi Bonnie! I've been wondering who truffles was!
now this is a good post. bowie! hamster holiday! whats not to love?
Hidee Ho Esue!!! I'm sorry you didn't know it was me either! I have enjoyed your opinions via blogness - I feel I know you better!
Is that little tiny byte in Lady Stardust which goes "Oh, how i sighed / when they asked if i knew his name" a bridge, or what? Whatever it is, I dig it.
If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking
What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always what you need
So if you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
I'm a fighter, I'm a poet, I'm a preacher
I've been to school and baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get up off the ground
I can show you how to fly and never ever come back down
Everything you want is what I need
Satisfaction's guaranteed
But the ride don't never ever come for free
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
[Solo]
Don't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me
