2 inaccuracies in that last answer:
17. Bowie was busted on a marijuana charge in 1977 with Iggy Pop. He beat the charge.
It was actually 1976 and as David stated in the Playboy interview the dope belonged to someone else in the room.
18. In 1977 during a satellite interview for Playboy magazine between Bowie and the famous writer Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Spain requested the emergency use of the satellite to announce to the world that their king Franco had passed away. Bowie told them to F**K Off and continued with the interview.
That one is way off, it was 1975 and it was for The Russell Harty Plus broadcast, not Vonnegut and Playboy. And I've never heard that Bowie used obscenities, he just refused to relinquish the satellite.

Expertise
I am able to answer questions about Bowie`s career and his personal life. I can provide in depth information about his music, what his lyrics mean, the recording sessions and the people he has worked with. On the business side I can tell you what companies he owns and how they work, such as Bowiebanc. I can answer questions on his personal life as well as each of his so called "characters." If you require information about his concerts I am able to give first hand accounts.
