Just five weeks before his Oct. 14, 1977 death, a crooning, cardigan-sweatered Ghost of TV Christmas Specials Past performed a well-worn carol with an androgynous, cutting-edge rock star 44 years his junior.
Bing Crosby and David Bowie doing The Little Drummer Boy still seems slightly more incongruous than Santa Claus performing O Holy Night with Twisted Sister. Or Perry Como combining forces with Ozzy Osbourne on Ave Maria.
