[quote=“nearwildheaven, post:24, topic:837366”] Space Oddity - David Bowie [/QUOTE] I realize nothing on this or any other planet can beat the original, but I think this cover is mesmerizing. Full disclosure: I'm extremely biased because I was in the audience, with my jaw on the floor, but even so, I think it's a great cover. Happy Rhodes - “Space Oddity” live.

> [@terentii](#): > > In ancient times, the planet and the goddess were one and the same. I concede that 1969 now qualifies as ‘ancient times,’ being 50 years in the rearview mirror and all, but even back then we were easily able to distinguish between the two. 😉 ---
