David Bowie was a big part of my formative years. I loved the singles, and was amazed by some of the album tracks. I couldn't believe somebody could write lyrics like "All the madmen".
His brother was a schizophrenic, I believe. Jules |

Or Sky News... http://www.suffolkgazette.com/business/sky-news-suffolk-gazette/"The passing of a legend is no laughing matter, of course, but Sky News picking up our Spice Oddity story about Bowie serenading a group of diners in a Suffolk curry house, which was published well before he died, takes the biscuit. Especially as we had added a note to the top of the story after Bowie passed, making clear his appearance in the Taj Maharaja in Bungay, which does not even exist, was a spoof." |

It's a strange one though, I would have bet a fairly large amount of money that Bungay does exist. I appear to be wrong again. |

His brother was a schizophrenic, I believe. Jules Yes, and sadly killed himself some time ago. Day after day, they take my friends away, to mansions cold and gray. Paul |
