    Now that is a poetry slam like it ought to be.

    Towards the end Bowie had a computer cut-up generator to mass produce the scissor and paper exercises Bryon Gysin had taught him. A shame, actually - what started as a quixotic quirky personal exploration turns into pure kit. Who were these lyrica for? What spiritual muse would sign on to channel trhough an electronic clothes hamper? Can't the human condition compete against these mechanical lifeless stweely dans?
