‘I made nothing [during the 70s, due to large commission taken by MainMan, his agency]. I had a lovely wardrobe though. But a fat lot of good it does you when you are kind of trying to find someplace to live when you are dressed like that. ‘He’s got a knitted cozzie and its leg’s missing and its arms’s missing and he’s wearing like a fur thing and he wants to know if the rooms available’ David Bowie‘I’m looking for backing for an unauthorized auto-biography that I am writing. Hopefully, this will sell in such huge numbers that I will be able to sue myself for an extraordinary amount of money and finance the film version in which I will play everybody.’ David Bowie
‘About 15 or 16 years ago, I really got pretty tired of fending off questions about what I used to do with my penis in the early seventies. My suggestion for people with prurient interests is to go through the 30 or 40 bios on me and pick out the rumour of their choice’. – Bowie, 1995

Nice to see one of the most influential people in the history of rock doesn’t take himself too seriously! He also has a very infectious laugh and laughs with his whole face. Have put a selection of clips below which show not only his intelligence and immense talent but also his fantastic sense of humour. My two favorites are probably the TFI clip and the whole Jonathan Ross interview – the last two clips on the list. With the full Jonathan Ross interview (last one on the list) you have to click through to YouTube to watch.
Multi-colored knitted body sock/suit made of metallic yarn in sections of pink, red, and blue geometric patterns on black or white. It has one long sleeve and one pants leg on opposite sides with only a cutout for the other arm and the other leg. The long sleeve has diagonal green and white stripes, and donut-like stuffed bangles to go with it in green, red, yellow and blue made from the same metallic knit fabric. With turquoise feather boa and large padded wrist bangles.
