## Description

This is not just a plugin, it symbolizes the hope and enthusiasm of an entire generation–
okay, yeah, it’s just a plugin. When activated you will randomly see a lyric from
Ziggy Stardust in the upper right of your admin screen on every page. All thanks
goes to [Matt](http://ma.tt) for actually writing the plugin, and [David Bowie](http://www.davidbowie.com)
for being Ziggy Stardust. Yes, this is just a fork of [Hello Dolly](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hello-dolly/).
