read the book, saw the movie. one of the few times a film could hold it's own with the novel thanks in large part to mr. bowie.

my brother knows him well. when he first met him in the 1972 he said he was the most intimidating rocker he ever met - and he's met a lot of them. that lasted about a minute and they since became aquaintences.

i don't know him exactly although i know his manager, but i have to agree with ramona at least to a point: his contributions to music were extraordinary throughout the early seventies, already an era of extraordinary contributions. it will interesting to hear how he handles the remastering (remixing?) of the back catalog, especially those albums from the late sixties to young americans in '75.
