Space Oddity, covered from the International Space Station

dude, the changes were unnecessary: completely and wholeheartedly. I'm taking the artfag's position on this.

if he had done a note for note remake, it wouldn't have been about him.

it would have been honoring those who have died.

[Asher]

Wait.

They got a guitar into space?

****ing awesome.

He also wrote an original song from the ISS.

His daily pictures are ****ing awesome, too.

[Asher]

I am advocating whatever NASA can do to raise its profile/awareness of space exploration in the general public.

I am also pretty sure that Mr. Bowie doesn't mind in the least, and probably thinks it is ****ing awesome.

To be fair, this is entirely the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Thus the watermark in the top left. NASA would never do such a thing.

Bowie is in no danger, but that was cool

[Hauldren Collider]

Probably not true, but let's not intrude on Asher's Canada fap fest, lest he recall who actually built the vast majority of the station...

falsetto, I think his shorts may be too tight

I like the whole thing, from concept to presentation.

No you are not. As a lifelong professional artfag, I can assure you covers are supposed to be interesting - no point in doing them if they aren't. Sometimes changing lyrics are part of it. This time it works. You are not an artfag - you are a grumpy old man.

Testicles do not descend in space.

He's a grumpy old man? You must be joking. Grumpy, maybe.

[notyoueither]

Everyone gets to old man eventually, some sooner than others.

admit you made that up

for me, it doesn't. The only cool thing about it is that it was recorded in space, which is admittedly really cool. That really cool thing is overshadowing the mediocrity of the actual song.

How many times has the US used its weight quota to bring a guitar into space?

[Colonâ„¢]

Never been a fan of Bowie. He should have sung something by Dire Straits.
