Actor (cracked perhaps)

David Bowie also had lead roles in several films including The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976). Just A Gigolo (1978), Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (1983), The Hunger (1983), Labyrinth (1986) and The Linguini Incident (1991).

 

I must admit I didn’t realise David Bowie had so many albums released during his career. What a collection though. I saw David live at the Milton Keynes Bowl, England on August 5th 1990, yes I looked it up:) What a day and evening that was, getting home was a nightmare, it must have been 3.30am before we got home.

Did you ever see him in concert?

What is your favourite song of his? My personal favourites are Drive In Saturday with Life On Mars a close 2nd, I also love The Jean Genie which has a much more rock sound to it. You may notice all these songs are from the 70’s.
