I'm just another artsy douche enrolled in some grossly expensive liberal arts college, so as a precursor that means I probably don't know what I'm talking about. But that's not what this blog is about. This blog is dedicated to the people whose actions, lifestyles and history have left me in awe and admiration. This blog is dedicated to the badasses of the world, and each week I'll be writing about a different dude (or dudette) who I think is totally groovy.
The first ever badass of the week is one of my biggest idols, David Bowie. Now Bowie is one weird dude, I won't deny that, but the impact he's had on the music industry ever since his debut is pretty goddamn impressive. David Bowie straight up pisses excellence. Bowie was the king of glam rock, (which was unfortunately reinvented by that turd farmer Lady Gaga), and had a hilarious cameo in Zoolander. Also, if you haven’t seen The Labyrinth, get off your ass and run to the nearest t.v. and watch that immediately. Bowie plays the role of the Goblin King and to make a long story short, it’s balls to the walls awesome.
To be honest, I can’t fully explain why I like David Bowie so much. But what I do know is that if David Bowie floated into my room one night and asked me to abandon my friends, parents, and several illegitimate children in order to join him on a groovy expedition to outerspace, I would.
On a final note, i'll leave you with the music video to one of my favorite songs by this eccentric bastard entitled "Ashes to Ashes". Thanks for reading. Peaceos.

Hehe, turd farmer. Not gonna lie though, always listen to "Changes" while in a car wash, the creeping crescendo in the beginning works perfectly with the spray cycle of the hoses...
