Bowie uses his lyrics as extensions of his arrangement schemes, offering fragments of dialogue and images to complement his music. "Up The Hill Backwards," "Ashes to Ashes" and "Because You're Young" are abstruse in specific meaning, but convey a definite mood of danger and intrigue. The weakest track, "Fashion," is also the easiest to understand, a meditation on disco culture of little import...
...individual Mormon ethics and metaphysics of James, Royce, Whitehead, Santayana, Hocking; eschew the worst cleave to the best of pilgrim fathers--in a moral commitment equal to the intellectual: you can transcend modern man into a dramatic new amalgam, generating a powerful and irresistible public mood, in which the weakest and most derelict find it easy to do right and hard to do wrong.

Last week AMC and France's state-owned Régie Nationale des Usines Renault, Europe's fourth largest car company, unveiled a labyrinthine financial deal that amounts to a Big Money bailout of the weakest and smallest of the major U.S. automakers. The survival scheme, which the firms have been negotiating since July, would inject $500 million in cash into AMC. Also, the deal could wind up providing Renault, which already holds 5% of AMC's stock as a result of a 1979 financing plan...
