In reply to Thomas MacMillan. Hi Thomas. I honestly can't remember – it was via a Google search rather than scanned from a book, but I don't recall from where, sorry.

Dear Joe,

I’m putting together a museum exhibition based around the Grafton Sax currently, and I was wondering if you could tell me where you found this image? Your site is the only place where I can find it, it seems.

Thank you for your help in advance!

Kind regards,

Thomas MacMillan

I was on the flight with David from Chicago to Los Angeles.
He came back from first class, sat down next to me.
He was a very inquisitive man, truth is the first time I met him was in the early 70 s when he bumped into a Armellini tractor trailer in downtown Manhatten and a week later with Lou Reed in the Village.
The very last time I saw him other in shows, a gang of us were walking the streets of Manhatten clubbing and Andy Warhol walked by, what was interesting it was David Bowie.
On that flight to LA he gave me his card and his mother’s phone number to make contact to accept a position in Security.
I was in the Marine Corps at the time.
It was after landing I took the squad into Santa Monica, it was there that in the midst of the walk we past a concert and there was the man on stage.
Later I photographed an album cover for a guy with a big mustache, later to find out the album was Ned Lagina Seastines and so I eventually realized it was David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, Ned Lagin and another musician. The moog synthesizer was being used to tape frying foods on a stove.
Interesting album to say the least.
In reprint now.
Bowie’s Santa Monica, only 10,000 copies made, the proceeds went to Mick Ronson Estate. A true musician creator.
You look at his tour record of his lifetime especially the first four years, amazing.
The music will live on.
Ground Control to Major Tom.

It was the song my daughter and I danced to at her wedding.

I always thought the title and idea of Holy Holy came from the 1969 Neil Diamond song Holly Holy. There’s a song writing similarity between the two artists and Bowie must have been influenced by him.

I am trying to find a song in which the video portrays a man in his house followed by a female walking behind him breaking items he owns. Any suggestions?

In reply to Johannes Bols. He'd on the reflective box for Big Brother, he'd be lowered during Chant, and it would to reveal him in a sequined-hand for Time.

Looking for an interview that was early on, where David says “why be the radio when you can be television” have you seen this? I can’t find it anywhere.
