It ain't so bad.

Is "boies" some sort of Freudian Slip?

Standard chas spelling issues...or it's an autocorrect, which makes me wonder what he was searching for to get it locked in his dictionary.

It might be hard to find a bigger Motorhead fan than me, but I hate that version. It even seems like an odd thing for Lemmy to sing about.

I love "Heroes" but it seems to me to be something that really shouldn't be covered. The Jakob Dylan version falls flat. Bowie puts it across with so much emotion I don't know how it could be improved or even how one could put their own twist on it. When I hear the song I can actually see the two people at the wall.

Is it the lyrics? Musically, I always found the song to be just kind of "meh"

Yeah. I think I've read that the song was really about Tony Visconti. Or at least it started out that way. I think as he was writing it the song morphed into a story about love during the Cold War. The imagery of a couple that ended up on opposite sides of the wall is very powerful. I don't really consider Bowie a very emotional or sincere singer. So much of what he did was camp or artificial, but when he gets to that third verse in "Heroes" I actually believe he is the guy in the song who is going to try to cross the deaths trip in order to be with his love.
