Why it's here

The song's line was quoted as an epigraph for John Hughes' 1985 film The Breakfast Club. [1] It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame by the Recording Academy in late 2016 and is one of four Bowie songs included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. [2] It featured Rick Wakeman on piano alongside the musicians who would become the Spiders from Mars, and was the final song David Bowie performed live before his death in 2016. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
