Even if you have no interest in the subject, check out just past 18:30 when Bowie does the moonwalk- nearly 10 years before MJ made it famous!

absolutely must agree with craig in this particular circumstance...
devoted Bowie fan since 1972; saw the Valentine's Day Ziggy Stardust show at Radio City, (when he collapsed at the end of the show) and went back the next night for more...

I have no problem agreeing with Craig on things that I actually agree on, and Bowie (a life long obsession, one of many) is one of those things...
at my age, I figure I should act as the grown up(except when I don't)

got the book from amazon.uk months ago,well worth every penny,each little daily detail of the MainMan/Warhol/Cherry Vanilla/Mick Ronson era, the most fascinating period of Bowie...
just ordered the new "Starman' from amazon.uk as well, won't be available here till July/August,who wants to wait that long
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Starman-David-B ... 1847442382
Trynka's Iggy book,'Open Up and Bleed" is the definative book on James Osterberg...
