i thought it was about suicide

I'm going to remove the "interpretation" of the songs lyrics if nobody objects. It's pure original research 161.225.129.111 18:18, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed and removed. --84.186.245.226 05:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Sad, didnt got to read that, the article is all about releases and other stuff that makes me forget that the article is about a song to begin with.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TMWSTW2.jpg

Image:TMWSTW2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

• Why is a 1970 Bowie album being shown with so amny refernces to Niravana, it was one cover 16 years ago, the cover itself is porly regraded and is so litte relevence to the album 88.111.35.38 (talk) 15:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Late live debut

"Bowie performed the song live for the first time in 1979 with Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias on Saturday Night Live."

This seems an awfully late live debut for a song recorded in 1970. Not impossible, obviously - Bewlay Brothers took 32 years to make it - but I think a citation would be in order. BTLizard (talk) 12:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
