What about attractiveness
or at least the ability to get laid regularly (which I know are only distant cousins?) versus longevity? Would you gladly meet death a few years prematurely if you'd looked gorgeous and supped at a few more loins?

If you knew how I've lived over the years you would see in an instant that I've very much chosen the former path.
I'm unlikely to live to retirement age but I've had a lot of fun.

Why the distaste for the thin white puke, Monty?
Just curious...

I wrote a long reply to this and my internet crashed. Bugger.

Is it the music or is it ...personal?

It's the undeserving 'genuis' and 'innovator' plaudits he repeatedly gets.
His music is unremarkable, and certainly not original - I've seen him described as a 'cultural vampire' which is a good one, I think. His innovations were solely in the field of costume/stagecraft, which is hardly that impressive and certainly far from genius.

He was a near deity three decades ago,
now a cultural irrelevance. Perhaps it's time to let Ziggy go...
