On the radio.
Although there is no hint
in the uninspired lyrics,
I heard that David Bowie
derived the title Jean Genie
from my hero Jean Genet
- who might not have been
such a meanie
as to have refused
to offer him his weenie.
I suspect that the lyrics to 'Jean Genie' were inspired by the example of Mr Iggy Pop, who did the whole deal-sex drugs and rock & roll, and survives his past to this day. In his more self destructive days he often exposed himself on stage whilst in a musical frenzy. He was no meanie with his weenie.
