WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been named Rockstar of the Year and awarded the Cover of Italy's Rolling Stone.

The US can hardly be called a Democracy when the Government Agencies label almost everything as "Secret",  to defeat "Freedom of Information Act" and has no real process for declassifying. so that "cover ups" of government duplicity or blunders, are buried.  This is NOT the Transparency of Democracy.

The headline was a play on his resemblance to music legend David Bowie's character Thomas Jerome Newton in the 1970's cult film 'The Man Who Fell to Earth.'
