So Inviting — So Enticing to Play the Part ... I Could Play the Wild Mutation as a Rock & Roll Star...

Listened to Album Sides Wednesday during this morning's drive time.

Side B of Ziggy Stardust went live at about 7:15am, just as I pulled into the college driveway. I listened to the first four tracks before heading over to my classroom. It's been a long time. I'd forgotten how much I used to love "Star":

Tony went to fight in Belfast
Rudi stayed at home to starve
I could make it all worthwhile as a rock & roll star
Bevan tried to change the nation
Sonny wants to turn the world, well he can tell you that he tried

I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star
So inviting - so enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock & roll star
Get it all yeah!
Oh yeah

I could do with the money
I'm so wiped out with things as they are
I'd send my photograph to my honey - and I'd c'mon like a regular superstar

I could fall asleep at night as a rock & roll star
I could fall in love all right as a rock & roll star

I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star
So inviting - so enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock & roll star ...
