CAMERON CROWE’S ROLLING STONE BOWIE FEATURE IS 50

“If you want it, boys, Get it here thing…”

Fifty years ago today, on 12th February 1976, Rolling Stone published a cover feature by Cameron Crowe, titled: Ground Control to Davy Jones.

The cover featured this stunning Steve Schapiro shot of David relaxing on the set of The Man Who Fell To Earth during filming in 1975.

The second slide is the original cover and the third is the far rarer Japanese edition from May 1976. You’ll notice the image has been flipped.

Teenager Cameron almost famously met up with DB several times in 1975 to observe Bowie at work and grab a few snatches of interview.

With appearances from both Iggy Pop and Ron Wood, it’s a fascinating read, and a great snapshot of Bowie’s state of mind, albeit affected somewhat by a lack of sleep and possibly powdered stimulants.

You can read the full thing over on the superb Bowie resource that is Roger Griffin’s Bowie Golden Years: https://t.co/wm3ZPaQJqO

Before you go though, here’s a snippet wherein Bowie mentions his plans for an autobiography which, sadly, never materialised...

+ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +

June 1975 A straw hat cocked lazily over one eye, David is sitting cross-legged against the wall in a small, candle-lit, book-lined room. The framed cover photo from Aladdin Sane hangs above his head in direct juxtaposition. It is one of his favourite ploys striking not only poses but whole portraits.

It's been three weeks since the last meeting, and he's moved from Hughes's house into the more centrally located Hollywood home of lawyer and former booking agent Michael Lippman. Bowie and lggy never did make it back into the studio. Pop slept past the booked time, called up drunk several nights later and when Bowie told him to "go away" — meaning "hang up" — Iggy did just that. Now he's disappeared. "I hope he's not dead," says Bowie, "he's got a good act."

Bowie announces that he's got a new project, his autobiography. "I've still not read an autobiography by a rock person that had the same degree of presumptuousness and arrogance that a rock & roll record used to have. So I've decided to write my autobiography as a way of life. It may be a series of books. I'm so incredibly methodical that I would be able to categorise each section and make it a bleedin' encyclopedia. You know what I mean? David Bowie as the microcosm of all matter."

If the first chapter is any indication, The Return of the Thin White Duke is more telling of Bowie's "fragmented mind" than of his life story. It is a series of sketchy self-portraits and isolated incidents apparently strung together in random, probably cutout order. Despite David's enthusiasm, one suspects it may never outlast his abbreviated attention span. But it's a good idea. At 29, Bowie's life is already perfect fodder for an autobiography.
