themaninblack 2,112 Posted June 8, 2012 Who likes Jobriath clone David Bowie? Them that do might enjoy a BBC4 Bowie Night on the 22nd. Two newies, two repeats; think Ziggy rather than Tin Machine or drum & bass. Great to see him on the cover of the NME recently. Typically, the music paper still cannot stop itself over-hyping, even if it's a 40 year old album: "Pop's greatest masterpiece". It's not even Bowie's best album! Kudos points to the NME if it follows up with a Roxy cover to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their epochal debut, released just days after Ziggy Stardust, probably not though...

Bibliogryphon 8,608 Posted January 7, 2013 Does anyone have any current info on David Bowie? One of my players picked him as a wildcard and said that he was not in good shape. I am thinking this is more than just having a history of poor living. Nothing on wiki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 599 Posted January 7, 2013 Lives a slow lane life in New York. Sometimes seen at the TriBeCa film festival. This article says that his city pad is in the SoHo area. Heard that he lives just across the road from Moby. He keeps a low profile on the street but was photographed out and about 3 months ago looking quite well if a little on the thin side. Had a few heart problems, so he's not interested to push the limits anymore. I'm sure he could last another 20 years if he likes the hum-drum life. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2219928/David-Bowie-recluse-How-Ziggy-Stardust-turned-fame.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,447 Posted January 8, 2013 Surprise! New single out, soon to be followed by a new album. It's all right I suppose, but not a patch on Little Fat Man or that prison song he wrote for Paul Nicholas in the mid-60s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
