when I refused my father asked “what will you do when you grow up?” “I’ll get a desk job,” I replied. I became a radio producer and then a computer nerd when the year 2000 beckoned, so it worked out. But it looks like it will be physical labor from age 70 on. ugh
My David Bowie thing: As a small kid (& embarrassingly, on through teens) I thought the line was "🎶jammin' good with weird Anguirus, & the spiders from mars," referring to the Anklosaurus villain of Godzilla. Like, WEIRD Anguirus must be some variant version, like Mecha-Godzilla.
[David Bowie voice] 🎶 ground control to major lawn / ground control to major lawn / sprinkle your fertilizer / and all the weeds be gone / ground control to major lawn 🎶

Bowie’s dad: Yeah, he told me “let the children use it.” Get your ass out of bed.
