The crazy piano solo didn't really make much sense to me until I read somewhere that this song was (partially) inspired by Bowie's schizophrenic half brother Terry. The title is a pun on "A Lad Insane", and for me, the piano solo, in that context, makes perfect sense. <br /><br />I also love the way my kids squirm with discomfort whenever I play this song in the car!thesoundandthefuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088555660401925648noreply@blogger.com
