"Laughing Gnome" is great! The only people I know who don't like it after hearing it are music uber-snobs. Nothing wrong with having a groovy beat along with a gnome in a song. In fact, "Laughing Gnome" is proof of Bowie's early genius, and all that he did afterwards is practically mediocre. Hey! “Laughing Gnome” is great!

And I guess I made my point badly. Bowie at the time was emulating Antony Newley and trying to write show tunes. The Laughing Gnome was part of his risky punt to do this. So my point was, David well done to take this risk and chance failure and ridicule rather than hiding under your toadstool. You are right of course, Bub. And I guess I made my point badly.
