"New Yorks a go-go when everything tastes nice".

Appalling lack of an apostrophe there.

another great song ruined ...

Almost, but the balls/bawls spelling correction puts things right again.

A few photos plundered from Facebook.. taken 6am in the morning leaving the studio during 1975 recording of Station to Station in LA... what an album..

Delightful and rare rendition of the Bewlay Brothers

A Bowie album I have completely overlooked is David Live from 1974... It's got since great versions on it... with funk to the fore. Can see where he was heading..

This is a reasonably entertaining watch

I spent most of 1982 and 1983 saving up to buy this record. It was about £12 and was never in the sales. I did eventually get it. Now I have it on 3 formats.

His version of the Eddie Floyd song, "Knock on wood" is on there which definitely does point to Bowie's future.

Happy birthday Mr Bowie.

His last words to Gary Oldman:

Gary Oldman has revealed that his close friend David Bowie’s last words to him were “f--- off”.

Oldman revealed that Bowie maintained his acerbic sense of humour in the months leading to his death just two days after the release of his 26th and final studio album, Blackstar, which coincided with his 69th birthday.

“Let me just say first he handled the cancer, so with such dignity and grace and humor. When he told me about it, he wrote me an email and he said: ‘I’ve got some good news, I’ve got some bad news’,” said Oldman. “He wrote: ‘the bad news is I’ve got the big C’.
“And underneath he wrote: ‘the good news is I got my cheekbones back’, which I thought was just really dark and really sweet and funny of him.”
