Leaders of a specific sort like to think they are the apex of all things. But honestly, they serve at the will of their people, not the people serving the leader. History is pretty clear on this point. Great leaders aren't in power in spite of the the people but because they ensure the people are cared for, looked after, and encouraged to bring their talents to the table.
It is clear in the here/now this lesson has been forgotten, at least here in the USA.
It amuses me (like watching the collapse of a building) to watch the GOP suffer the consequences of their actions. Who knew cutting necessary services to a population historically used in money drives was not a good idea?
Listened to the song a couple of times, found the meaning of the lyrics video to watch a couple more times and then back to just listening to Bowie being Bowie. Thank you. I forgot who I am for a moment but now I remember.
An art rock song that builds throughout its run time, "'Heroes'" concerns two lovers, one from East Berlin and the other from the West. Under constant fear of death, they dream they are free, swimming with dolphins. Bowie placed the title in quotation marks as an expression of irony on the otherwise romantic or triumphant words and music. Directly inspired by Bowie witnessing a kiss between Visconti and singer Antonia Maass next to the Berlin Wall, other inspirations included a painting by Otto Mueller and a short story by Alberto Denti di Pirajno.

It's going to take more than one day.

No, Grey One, leaders don't make great heroes... it's usually the walls that call to them...
Be a hero. Listen to the podcast if you've got an hour to spare...

...not quite yet... Pas encore - not yet, still not, not quite, not as yet, not been, haven't even ·
In your posted video Bowie's posture is like that of a dolphin dancing on the surface of the sea. Jes sayin'...
