[@hughdismuke4703]

@@ZappsPotatoChips I think it's more about bravery than being educated. Bowie and others among the art world are a part of the avant-garde who have defined modern generations, away from the old outdated stagnate generations. They are leaders who are few and far apart until they find each other in an inner society that most of us have no access to, let alone know about or understand. Art moves society and it's usually the young who move things before they grow old and wise and become one of those hideous things called an adult. I have also begun to realize that there are a lot of phonies out there pretending to be true artist and movers. They have old stagnate ideas about being a part of the pop cultures. Instead of having to watch out for them, I say bring em in and play with them until they crack. Or change.

Dramatic but subtle. Sounds like a cocaine high lol

[@damselcausingdistress81]

Sad you have no idea who this interviewer is!! He was ahead of his time, the only show on A Broadcasting Network that would interview artists that weren't considered "mainstream" or calm enough for television in those days. His name is Dick Cavett. He was good friends with the likes of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Pink Floyd, along with David Bowie. His interview style is that of 2 friends chatting @ a party. This was his schtick, sort of pretending to be uptight and not "get it". It would be amazing if this generation would choose to understand the generations past for what they really were rather than what they're portrayed as now!😉

[@susanmorano405]

@@damselcausingdistress81 thank you for explaining Cavett to the unknowing. Perhaps he does come across as (to use an old term!) square. But you'd never, never see any interviewer today allowing his/her guests the time to let them expand, speak fully. Today's interviewers don't realize the best "sound bites" will happen if the guest is comfortable ... Instead they INTERRUPT 50 million times and have the camera cut to their faces as often ... makes me roll my eyes 🙄

Dick Cavett is so gracious and warm. These stars , be it rock & roll or movies, get bombarded by weasels, with idiotic questions so much, you can tell Bowie has his weasel guard up but Cavett slowly draws him out by being normal. Fantastic interviewer , his videos with Janis Joplin are priceless.

Bowie was a gift to the world. No one cares much if he did coke or not, his art was precious. The war on drugs is an unjust effort that destroys people needlessly.
