Fun fact: The eye patch was from a pirate custom that one of the people working on the program had used a few days prior, Bowie used it to cover an inflammation of his eye, the guitar was just a random guitar that was laying around and just happened to be red and matched perfectly with Bowie's outfit. It's all just a entire coincidence that it all matches. This was told by Ad Visser the host, about 2 weeks ago on Dutch television.

[@gonzaloNMF]

Cool data, did he choose to to sport it on his blue eye on purpose?

[@deedee-tc4fh]

The eye patch means you can't really see what is going on, it is occult and used by quite a few (Fake Brian Ferry) It was all an act, which is what he told a DJ that worked in Stringfellows that told me. I love the music but it was all part of the gender bender agenda and basically to get us to where we are now!!! It's a trick to make you see wide, it can almost break your heart..in pieces..

As to playing “with” the guitar rather than actually playing it is genius. He knows we are going to know it’s a lip sync. The smaller picture of him in the right corner is supposed to represent the correct way to sing the song. He sang this in a studio because the correct lyrics of, “you want to be dead when they count up the dues” was on the album’s liner notes. Follows the line about the handful of ludes, short for Qualudes which were taken off the market. However, today on the web they report the lyric as being “ you wanna be there when they count up the dudes.”
