There's an early short feature from when he was twenty years old, where a guy is painting a picture (from his imagination) of a handsome young man clearly looking like Bowie, the wind is howling in the night outside - and then suddenly the double of the man in the portrait (yes, played by DB) is knocking at his front door... :) The Image (ft a pre-fame David Bowie) kzbin.info/www/bejne/baazm2topLqlbZo I wonder if the video here is a bit of a friendly nod to that one?

Dennis Davis and George Murray (the bass player) were one of the best and most underrated rhythm sections of all time (and let’s not forget rhythm guitarist extraordinaire, Carlos Alomar). Dennis’ death was completely overshadowed by Bowie’s- he died a mere three months later. And apparently no one knows what happened to George Murray after Scary Monsters. He just disappeared.

I have a pet theory that this song is about Scott Walker. The lyrics seem to tell the story of Scott coming back to life as an artistic talent. "'You know who I am,' he said. The speaker was an angel," could refer to both Bowie's admiration of Scott and the fact that Scott wrote about Angels frequently. "No one seemed to hear him, So he leafed through a magazine, And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away, Very sane he seemed to me," fits with interviews Scott gave around the Nite Flights era where he mentioned the Heroes album reawakening him. Scott mentioned that he forced everyone in his crew to subscribe to modern record magazines so they could shift gears away from country cover albums that no one listened to. "African Night Flight" is known to be a reference to the Nite Flights album anyways, and Brian Eno has mentioned listening to Nite Flights during these sessions with Bowie. "I've been waiting so long" and "Look back in anger" would heavily apply to Scott Walker at this time, on top of Bowie singing like him on this track. "Look back in anger, driven by the NIGHT, till you come..." ...now that I think about this video, can we be sure that Bowie isn't painting a portrait of Scott Walker? Maybe the entire "Dorian Gray" theme is a reference to their relationship?
