How the fuck did Bowie come up with the lyrics he did in the 70s?

It's more than that.
He had an incredibly vast cultural knowledge

John Cale and Lou Reed are two of his peers who ran circles around him lyrically

The answer is drugs, testosterone, intelligence, passion, mostly drugs and passion

All celebrities that sell their soul in exchange get very strong “black hole”
Like human magnetic fields due to an overload of negative karma and demonic possession through their anus.
This is why. It’s just in the air, they didn’t come up with it. It was there before them and will be there when there gone.
This is 100% fact.

artist here.
people actually say the same to me
I guess they mean they wouldn't be able to be creative without drugs.
but it's embarrassing to hear them say it.

>"How do you come up with these ideas, drugs?"

amazing how often people say it
it's really an npc world, I guess
