walker, I think in that ‘Mats book she’s identified as Westerberg’s sister. I remember hearing Mary on the radio back in the Zone 105 days talking about how she changed her name because it wasn’t so much fun living in the shadow of a famous sibling and she wanted to distance herself from his fame.

Here’s how retarded I am — I had no clue Bowie wrote it. My aunt used to listen to it all the time and even had “Mott The Hoople / NYC” written all over her schoolbooks. (I found them when we were cleaning out my grandparent’s house. I’m not quite that old.)

When I heard Bowie’s version, I thought for sure it was a cover.

Okay Supergenius. You aren’t the only one with David Bowie on yer mind. I can hear the little Spacesaver radio in my kitchen faintly from where I’m sitting with my laptop, and twenty minutes ago I heard Mary Lucia ( Bowie obsessed Like me) goin’ on about that Lad Insane, and she spins Golden Years. Then I do two things ( e-mail and Myspace) and she plays All The Young Dudes ( the Mott The Hoople smash hit). I do two more things and it’s Su George doing one of his great Bowie renditions (awesome!) then Under Pressure (who me? also obsessed with Freddy Mercury?) Anyway great radio this… So the upshot is this; you need to help me find out if Mary Lucia (Westerberg) is actually Pauls sister…

I’m actually a little disappointed in myself. I think I need to start an independent study of Mott the Hoople immediately. I am not sure who I thought they were, but I am pretty sure I decided they were like Toad the Wet the Sprocket.
