Aoc going on about the idea that we got 12 years left before curtain call reminded me of some lyrics by Bowie for a song from Ziggy stardust called 5 years. I just went to pull lyrics to make sure I wasn't mistaken and see that it's listed as written 1972. this is interesting because the environmental movement didn't take hold until later on following love canal and 3 mile island both in the late 1970s (78 and 79 respectively). Another big event tied with the environmental movement was the publishing of a book called silent spring (1968). But the impetus didnt pick up until events hit home in late 1970s. Aside from that in the late 60s and early 70s Bowie was in the process of becoming a rock god with all the hedonism that entails. i doubt he was reading silent spring. we know now bowie was cabal the whole time what are the odds tavistock or some other had him pen those lyrics as preprogramming for a scenario like climate scare? heres some key lyrics from that song
Pushing through the market square,
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over,
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us,
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet,
Then I knew he was not lying
A girl my age went off her head,
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off,
I think she would have killed them
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
