In July 2002, Bowie said, about Iggy Pop:

Not sure about this Charles Bukowski direction he's taken over the last few years. It's not defying expectations. It's playing to the gallery. I think he's got far greater potential than he allows himself. He just needs nudging in the right direction.

My question to TW, especally those of you who have seen Bowie live in 2003/2004 on the Reality Tour is:

Do you think that Bowie, with the Reality Tour, is defying expectations, or do you think he's playing to the gallery? Or is Reality Tour a little bit of both? Please, don't just answer "Yes, Reality Tour is defying expectations" or "Reality Tour is Bowie playing to the gallery" -- explain why you think he's defying expectations or playing to the gallery.
