Claude says:Bowie introduced Halloween Jack — a post-apocalyptic Manhattan scavenger living atop an abandoned skyscraper — with this 1974 single that pushed away from glam toward a Stones-influenced, proto-punk snarl. NME called it too long and too bleak to be a proper hit, and it reached number 21 in the UK, though Bowie made it a centerpiece of his North American tour that year. You gave it a spin in 2019 and one more the following summer, mostly landing on the Stones-y strut of "Rebel Rebel."
