Cracked Actor a BBC documentary on Bowie is now available as a free stream on Vimeo. Here now listen up kids if you don’t know Bowie and you pretend to be ‘into’ music you’re a big fat poser.
Cuz you may claim it was The Beatles or Presley or Sam Freakin Cooke but truth is.. its Bowie.
Bowie is the one who made pop art, who made rock theater and who made androgyny a household word.
Bowie made me who I am today and made my oldest brother cool cuz he took me to my first Bowie show (trust me without that the man would never have cool points hes square a Rubic.. and he reads this so HA to you.. call me, Bro)
You gotta watch this just to see the relaxed Bowie, hell even at start during the car ride singing “Natural Woman” is just priceless footage. Parts of these interviews Bowie seems childlike and fun others almost a nervous (or is it coked?) mess. But whichever it is its a great casual look at the most amazing performer ever. This is recorded in 1975. Bowies accent thicker than ever hes thinner than healthy and that sniff.. Bowie discuses plenty of topics such as losing himself in the characters of Aladdin Sane, the schizophrenic creation of Ziggy Stardust, and his unease about becoming a rock ‘n roll star.
Amazing performance of “Sweet Thing” like goosebump making. Quit reading hit play.. Jesus Bowie is more than a Legend. But go to about 24 min in, get a load of that crowd…proof that drugs should be outlawed, well that or polyester.
