That's not because Bowie's music wasn't groundbreaking - it's just that it was part of the radio landscape for me ever since I can remember. We just don't think of stuff we've always heard as radical. We can at some point appreciate how transgressive an artist or song was (for example, when I was 17 or so, I heard a slow acoustic version of "Lola" and only then said to myself something along the lines of "holy shit, Ray and/or Dave Davies wrote a hit song about a cross-dresser before Lou Reed and those VU posers did!") but it's not quite the same as when you first hear it.
And it doesn't even have to be when the artist/song is new. I still remember being wowed the first time I heard Dave Brubeck at my part time restaurant job.

Lou Reed was onto the Kinks kink way back when. His 17 minute anthem from White Light/White Heat (containing the warning one should never shoot a junkie in the living room because it'll "ruin the carpet") is named after Ray Davies.
ETA: WL/WH (1968); Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround (1970).

Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group
I love Draymond like kin, but let's be honest, if kicking a guy in the nuts doesn't get you suspended, what would?

Calling him a sexual slur.

Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group
My favorite ego maniacal sports figure is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swedish futbol player who is toying with everyone this transfer window. He has some insanely awesome highlight reels, and to say he thinks highly of himself is putting it mildly. His autobiography is called " I am Zlatan" and his departure tweet from PSG was "I came like a king I left like a legend". To be fair, he did do this. And he did break the PSG scoring record in the 4 years he was there.
Today he launched his sportswear line, and it's called A-Z. Amateur to Zlatan.
I wish if other athletes *ahem* Ronaldo had to take themselves so seriously, they could least be hilarious about it.

He is a complete thug. But that highlight reel is indeed insane.
