That actually would fit. With all the Diamond Dogs, various characters resembling various incarnations of Bowie (the chart is floating around the internet somewhere), and the Major Tom thing, it would fit like a freaking glove. So to that end I really hope it is David Bowie.

Doesn't sound like him to me, but I sure hope so.
