David Bowie Interview

RIGHT this is such an insignificant thing but its been bothering for the past couple of years (since the moonage daydream trailer came out)

in the trailer (and i think film) there is a clip where david bowie says “they’re shoe-shoes, silly!”, and this has been being quoted and loved by many people but it is FAKE!!!

these are both real things he said in that interview, but the part where he said “shoe-shoes” and the part where he said “silly” were actually a couple sentences apart

[the interview by the way is from 1973 with russell harty, i love it, you can find the full thing on youtube under the name “Ziggy’s Full 1973 Interview with Russell Harty (Audio Only)”]

at about 11:50 this happens:

RUSSELL : " … are those men’s shoes or women’s shoes or bisexual shoes? "

BOWIE : " They’re shoe shoes, they’re just shoes … "

then, not too soon later, at around 12:05 this happens:

RUSSELL : " … in the morning, when you get up do you not fall off the end of the bed because you think you’re higher than you are? "

BOWIE : * laughs * " No of course I don’t, silly! "

still very fun quotes! just separate ones :]

David Bowie

From 1999 interview on BBC Newslight:

“ - The internet… I don’t think we’ve even seen the tip of the iceberg. I think the potential of what the internet is going to do to the society - both good and bad - is unimaginable. I think we’re actually on the cusp of something exhilarating and terrifying.

- But it’s just a tool though, isn’t it?

- No, it’s not, no. It’s an alien life form…”

“She was fantastic and a huge influence at the time.There was nobody quite like her. And she got me my first fuck-me pumps.”

Some people have this view that people that worked with David had a lot more input than they got credit for ... But I see him as this magician who worked with people and got the best out of them - and that what's I remember when I look back at 'Life on Mars.'

My personal fav moments:

RH: You know you haven’t… your accent, your voice, your method of speech has not changed, you’ve been away for two years.

DB: Yeah.

RH: Does that mean that you’ve been locked away somewhere?

DB: Yes, I don’t talk to anybody.

RH: Right, what’s brought you back? Are you short of money, or are you short of the ‘feeding off live audience’ bit.

DB: I’m short of England more than anything else.

RH: In what way, I mean you do know the England you left two years ago is not the England you’re going to come back to.

DB: Yeah, well this Thursday is nothing like last Thursday but it’s just as important. I’d miss it if it wasn’t after Wednesday.

DB: A discipline doesn’t mean that you make sure that you have breakfast at eight o’clock in the morning and you are out of the house by half past eight. A discipline is that you… if you conceive some thing, then you decide whether or not it’s worth following through, and if it’s worth following through then you follow it through to its logical conclusion, and do it with the best… to the best of your ability. That’s a discipline, yes?
