...familiar by the album's end. The sound, accordingly, becomes more electronic; the musicians, it seems, were chosen for their talents in that direction. But the following song, a version of "Fame," is loose, funky and better than the original, even if it does take four guys to fake "TVC-15," a companion song from the album Station to Station that has Bowie growling lyrics about his favorite android...

When we walked in, young and stoned, we were greeted by a row of moderately successful undergarment retailers and their fake fur bedecked wives. One, on the other side of 50 years old, pulled back to avoid our seemingly diseased path, tossing inaudible obscenities to our backs...

This color coding has not worked, since it is easy for a bandit with artistic bent to repaint his model gun to give it a menacing steel blue glower. Typical was the incident last July when a real robber brandishing a fake black Colt .38 held up a real Kyoto bank van carrying checks worth 50 million in real yen.
