Astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield. Bowie song.

[Eric Zentner]

Thought it was a well done video and real deal.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...46471029,d.eWU
And so cool to have done it in space....He looks very close to our Mod Walkwolf Steve, other than this guy is right handed on the guitar

I thought this was a strange choice of song given the actual meaning of it (see Bowie's 'Ashes To Ashes' which explicitly explains it)-Elton John's 'Rocket Man' is probably more appropriate to current 'Space Cowboys'....

I love this guy....................................... Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown,
engines on
Check ignition
and may God's love be with you

[spoken]
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control
to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past
one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead,
there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

I meet him once in Ottawa , for a Canada Day show I was involved with . Seemed like I real nice guy , I got a lapel pin and an arm flash off him from one of his shuttle missions . I'll dig it out and post it .

David Bowie is one of my favorite music artists and his lyrics are pure genius. Steve has great taste

Cheers, Pat

Nothing like a good old Bowie song ' I was walking down the high street
when i heard footsteps behind me
and there was this little old man etc etc etc

He likes the Maple Leafs. So I hate him.

Commander Hadfield sings a tad 'high' for me,
and Chris, don't give up your day job.........!
