Weekend Wildcard - Life on Mars? by David Bowie

At the beach this past week we were able to see Mars at night out over the ocean. I think it is supposed to be the biggest around July 27th.

This Weekend's Wildcard is Life on Mars by David Bowie. This is off of his 1971 album Hunky Dory. Bowie has stated the song is about "A sensitive young girl's reaction to the media." and that "I think she finds herself disappointed with reality... that although she's living in the doldrums of reality, she's being told that there's a far greater life somewhere, and she's bitterly disappointed that she doesn't have access to it."
