David Bowie
Young Americans (1975)
"I speak to you not concerning matters of Congress or constitution, but rather of an Englishman—an artist, truly—who goes by the name David Bowie.

Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
1964

A glorious underground civilization, immune to the bomb and... biological boredom. Or they listen to reason? Or, Nein! Boom! Will everything going up in atomic fireworks? Can someone recall the bombers in time? I ask you—why not embrace it? Why not ride the bomb like a cowboy and learn to love it? - ahem! - Mr. President, I can walk!
