port of amsterdam...Yes!!!...........this was Ziggys farwell!..........Love it!!

"Port of Amsterdam" is my favorite. But the best version still is Dave Van Ronk's.

Van Ronk was the very first musician I ever interviewed -- 30 years ago!. I talked to him after the show and asked him why he didn't do "Amsterdam." He agreed it's a great song, but said, "After awhile, I just couldn't see all the moral outrage. It's just about a bunch of sailors who want to get laid."

True. But the way Dave sang it, I felt no "moral outrage." I just wanted to be there, towing sluts beneath the street lamos and eating fish heads and tails!

Really dig Ziggy Stardust. Cheers for putting this on my radar.
