David Bowie was a musical genius. And perhaps the only bad thing about being a musical genius is the possibility that someday another genius might come along and do a cover of one your songs that’s better than the original. That’s what Kurt Cobain did, I think, with this cover, recorded in 1993 on MTV. And he was only twenty-six at the time.
Oh, well. Here, for your entertainment (and, I hope, solace) is a song written by one genius and sung by another, with some really great musicians playing along.
Rock on…

David Bowie belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of Rock Godz. I don’t quite put Nirvana on that same plane, but the MTV Live Unplugged from New York concert should be required listening.
