So, as you may know if you pay any attention to my sidebar, I'm reading Angela Bowie's memoir "Backstage Passes: Life on the Wild Side with David Bowie". So far (and I'm only on the first chapter) its the perfect example of what a rock star (ex) wife's autobiography should be.
First of all, she follow the number one rule of I-dated-a-celebrity-but-am-not-quite-one-in-my-own-right books:
We don't care about your childhood. Skip to meeting said celebrity.
But do share about your loss of virginity.
The most exciting part of this memoir?
The divorce was a bit nasty and there was a gag order against Angela so she couldn't reveal all the dirty nasty secrets about Bowie.
As soon as the gag order expired, she wrote the book.
Included:
-The infamous (and amazingly arousing) time Angela caught Bowie in bed with Mick Jagger, prompting Mick to write "Angie"!
-The infamous (and amazingly arousing) time Angela caught Bowie in bed with Mick Jagger, prompting Mick to write "Angie"!
-Angela and David's bisexual exploits...and orgies!
-Bowie's "insane" patch!
-Behind the scenes tales of Mick Jagger, Keith Moon, Elton John, Marianne Faithfull, Iggy Pop, Rod Stewart and Lou Reed!
The perfect book?
I do think so.
I do think so.
The Bowies - Angela, David and Zowie - before the divorce, gag order and gag order's expiration! God Bless Them!

I must read it! I though the Mick/Bowie thing was a rumor she made up?:S
I will probably post a blog tonight. I just didnt feel like it while being sick and I was a little discouraged by lack of comments.
sounds very intersting.
didn't david bowie marry iman? i think so...
I remember when David Bowie was going through his Ziggy Stardust days...my friends and I looked at one another, not sure what to make of his androgynous nature.
He is an amazing talent. Bowie reinvented himself several times over the last thirty or so years. He even survived the disco years, and that was a huge accomplishment.
I recall hearing about the whole Bowie/Mick rendezvous some time ago. Now I usually don't pay much mind to rumors per say, but I did believe it this time. I think these two geniuses are way to layered for just one gender attraction...
LOL

David Bowie is pretty awesome. One of the last originals in modern music.

you, me, touche19 and lipstick lady are the same person spreadout over a few different states and countries and we need to somehow join our brains together because webasically all share one brain already. wouldn't that be hilarious?
