We Could Be: Bowie and his Heroes

The book arrived in an amazon box and the seller had neatly covered it in shrink wrap with a nice bookmark included. Out daughter is planning to visit us from Vancouver Canada and is a huge Bowie fan so we ordered it for her. I’m halfway through it already. Really nice tough with the wrapping. Thank you

Still have to read the book but I have looked through it. It is very interesting to look at the people David met in his life. Every David Bowie fan should have this book.

On apprend pas mal de choses sur ce grand artiste.

What was it like to have met David Bowie? A very full answer to this question can be found among the 300 anecdotes here of A-list celebrities and some minor ones who were lucky enough to meet the much missed star. Amazingly, a surprisingly high proportion of these anecdotes end with Bowie sleeping with the celebrity they just met! But what mostly shines through is what a charmer Bowie could be - his father after all worked in PR and Bowie clearly learnt much from him. Most, but not all those who met him come away enchanted and dazzled - Bowie clearly had a great humanity about him. For balance there are a few examples of awkward encounters like the time a paranoid coked-out Bowie, who was hallucinating about space aliens, met Bruce Springsteen in Philadelphia and was unable to sustain an ordinary conversation with the blue-collar music hero. Some of the meetings I have heard of before, but some such as Tony Blair's dinner with Bowie at Chequers were a complete surprise. A great read.
