I've often heard it said that life is a Journey. Personally, I'm not a Journey fan. Oh sure, they have a couple of good songs but overall I think I like their album covers more than their music. I think life is more of a Bowie--you know, ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strain.
I've certainly had a number of different personae over the course of my life. I spent a few years as a space cadet, though maybe not quite as flamboyant as Ziggy Stardust. I can't say I ever really did the androgynous thing, but some things are a little too weird even for me. I would say that the term "misspent youth" would not be far wrong in my case, but I did have some fun. I'd say I also did the Thin White Duke thing, being all angsty and existential. I spent some serious time always crashing in the same car.
All that stuff, though, just contributed to me becoming the person I am today. Regrets, I've had a few; but then again, too few to mention. All in all, the changes I've been through have made me into a skin I'm pretty happy to walk around on the inside of, looking out.

I remember your angsty and existential days. I do like Kurt au courant much better. But I will say that all Kurt versions have been very, very, witty.
