Question
Hi! Im kind of obsessed on the Outside record by good old David Bowie... I read somewhere that it was a conceptual album and that it told a story and that there were clues inside the booklet and the songs as the identity of the killer. So far, i have heard the cd a few times (around 20 or so) and read the booklet, but i just cant figure it out. A friend told me that it was nathan adler, but i just cant find heads or tails...

well, thanks! :)

Answer
It's all part of the appeal...try going on a messageboard for lengthy discussion (try www.teenagewildlife.com in the interpretation section), personally I always thought it was Leon who killed Baby Grace.  Nathan Adler is the detective.  The options are Ramona, Leon, Algeria Touchschriek... the album is too complex to really give a definitive answer.
