Question
Dear Laura,
I would like to know the story behind "China Girl". When and why did Bowie and Iggy Pop write it, what was the inspiration for it?
Thanks a lot in advance! :)
Best wishes from Berlin, Germany
Kate
I'm away from home at the moment and I don't have the books I need to look this up in - try looking at discographies (the teenagewildife site has an excellent one) or please wait for an answer when i get home. I will get back to you if you so wish at a later date. Sorry for the delay!

Expertise
I`ve been a huge Bowie fan for some time now. I`ve read up on his life and I`m well versed in his music. I love Bowie sites on the web, so if I don`t know the answer I could refer you to someone who does.
Experience
I've listened to Bowie for a few years now, have collected all of his albums tirelessly, read up on his life quite a bit and followed his career over the last few years.
