The Jean Genie (or simply Jean Genie) is a song by David Bowie inspired by the lives of Jean Genet and Iggy Pop. It was released as a single in November 1972 and in the album Aladdin Sane in April 13th 1973. Also, it's one of the first songs on having a video clip, directed and produced by Mick Rock.
Genie's mother, weak and nearly blind, claimed that she, too, had been a victim of her domineering husband.
Genie was talking about things that happened before words were a part of her world.
SUSAN CURTISS: Genie, although functionally retarded because she had hardly lived and experienced the world around her, was not mentally deficient in any sense in which we typically think of as mentally deficient.
