Richards is an authentic tell it like it is kind of guy..he doesn't mince words..
So what would you call the persona of the Space Oddity? Back in the day Bowie and Space Oddity/Ziggy were the favs of the Homosexuals...they loved him..
I have always thought that early Bowie had a Dual quality to it...it was way over the line into schizophrenia
