Panic in Detroit" was inspired by Iggy Pop's stories of the Detroit riots in 1967 and the rise of the White Panther Party, specifically their leader John Sinclair. [38] [16] Bowie compared the ideas of Sinclair to the rebel martyr Che Guevara for the narrator in "Panic in Detroit". [39] The lyrics are dark, featuring images of urban decay, violence, drugs, emotional isolation and suicide, [38] adding to the album's overarching theme of alienation. [27] Doggett finds a thematic link between the song and Bob Dylan's " All Along the Watchtower" (1967), which "used a similar three-chord riff to underpin its apocalypse".
