\n

Janelle Mon\u00e1e<\/a> just made a far-out claim, insisting she had the privilege of seeing David Bowie<\/a> in concert over a decade before she was even born.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI traveled back into the 1970s and I saw him do Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and it was incredible,\u201d said a straight-faced Mon\u00e1e, who was born in 1985.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou traveled back?\u201d the very puzzled Boygenius rocker Dacus asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mon\u00e1e seemed serious, telling Dacus, \u201cYes. I was backstage and I was like, \u2018This is what I want to do.\u2019 And so I jetted back to the 2000s and I was like, \u2018I can have the musical, make the music, create the lyrics,\u2019 and create a community around transformation and being queer and, not even in sexuality but just in how we see the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Though the \u201cMake Me Feel\u201d singer\u2019s time travel tale certainly seems like something out of a \u201cMoonage Daydream,\u201d she has long cited Bowie as one of her biggest creative influences and has covered many of his hits over the course of her career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a 2018 interview,<\/a> she said, \u201cBowie has been a huge inspiration to me with regard to creating concept albums, new worlds and alter egos. When I heard this song for the first time, it took my music tastes to another level; I wanted my own writing to be just as interesting and clever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
