"Cracked Actor" is a song written by David Bowie, originally released on the album ''Aladdin Sane'' in April 1973. The track was also issued as a single in Eastern Europe by RCA Records in June that year. ==Music and lyrics== One of the album's hard rockers, the song is about an aging Hollywood star in an encounter with a prostitute, the chorus including various allusions to sex and drugs:〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': p.56〕 :Crack, baby, crack, show me you're real :Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel :Suck, baby, suck, give me your head :Before you start professing that you're knocking me dead ''Rolling Stone'' suggested that Bowie's goal was "to strip the subject of his validity, as he has done with the rocker, as a step towards a re-definition of these roles and his own inhabiting of them".〔 〕 However ''NME'' writers Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray considered that the song "reveals little else except that Bowie's capabilities with a mouth-harp are decidedly limited".〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981).
