You won’t convince me that the only heroin songs out there are the obvious ones. It’s almost guaranteed that somewhere, some good-guy songwriter is kicking back, having pulled off such a well-disguised smack anthem that no one even noticed it.

That’s how I feel every time someone puts on “Rebel Rebel” or “Changes” or “Fame.” It’s Bowie! ... read more |
