Day After VD VD: "All the Young Dudes" Explained
February 15, 2009 | Vetting explained
The question by now should really be, “What can’t be explained by one of Professor Cueball’s Venn diagrams?” The David Bowie penned 1972 Mott the Hoople hit "All the Young Dudes" has confusing lyrics to say the least, this perhaps at least partially the result of Bowie’s complicated sexuality at the time. Bowie’s sexual orientation, sadly, cannot yet be easily explained with a Venn diagram. But the chorus sure can be:
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
