This is ridiculous

You know, I was going to post another of my favourite videos, "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie. But embedding was not allowed from youtube. This I do not understand. Look, I am putting up the video because I like it and it is an advertisement for Mr Bowie, not I. So suck it, youtube.
Anyway, back to the video. In addition to the video being one of the most influential ones ever, I wanted to address the amusing comments that I read about David Bowie wearing what kids described as a "clown outfit". Many viewed this as David Bowie saying he was an "insane clown" and that he wanted to be normal. I feel no need to defend David Bowie, but what made me laugh my arse off was the fact that a person had to feel they were such a "Bowiephile" that they had to correct everyone into thinking that "David Bowie wanted to wear the clown costume because he was crazy in the 70s and the white represents drugs, and he now wants to be taken seriously." Huh?
The outfit is a Pierrot outfit. David Bowie studied with a mime troop before making it big. You can see him featured with a chief influence above, the truly iconic Lindsay Kemp.
