Fair use rationale for Image:Bowie LovingTheAlien.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Bowie LovingTheAlien.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Music video
[edit]There could be more said about the music video. The main set appears to be influenced by some of the paintings of Giorgio Chirico, and possibly by one of those Hollywood movies of the 1950s or early 1960s that had a ballet sequence stuck in the middle (though I don't remember which one -- not "An American in Paris")...

- If you can find a source for any of this, I think it would be great to add!! 87Fan (talk) 18:04, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
My recollection (for what that's worth) is that the original video was aired (at least once) with the nosebleed. Grace Slick and another member of Starship were guest hosts on MTV, in late 1985 or early 1986, and this is one of the videos they selected. When it got to the part with the nosebleed, the person with whom I was watching disparagingly commented, "my nose would bleed too, if I sang like that." Had it not been for that, I might not have noticed that the nosebleed was removed from the Bext of Bowie DVD years later. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:36, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
