Meanwhile - and this should really go in the 'What are you listening to...' thread - I've dug out my copies of Paul Gambacinni's ' The David Bowie Story' from 1993 to listen to as I drive to and from the office. Six hours of Bowie history. 
(Mind you, being 17 years old now -  - it could really do with a couple more hours to bring the story up to the present day.)

Lions prowled, their bodies green and their manes orange, turning into blindingly bright, abstract patterns that were no less terrifying.
_For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.
_For another eternity Allard swam through seas without end, all green and cool and deep, where distorted creatures drifted, sometimes attacking him.
_And then, at last, he had reached the real world – the world he had created, where he was God and could create or destroy whatever he wished.
_He was supremely powerful. He told planets to destroy themselves, and they did. He created suns. Beautiful women flocked to be his. Of all men, he was the mightiest. Of all gods, he was the greatest."

It's far from his best, but I think it's worth having.

Nice one! 
Earlier on i got myself a new copy of an album called Mr Music Head by this man who was Bowies lead guitar player for the Heroes and Lodger tour.
I could be wrong but i reckon DB is quite impressed by him in this clip!
