I've just finished reading a biography about chameleon rock star, David Bowie.  It's written by Marc Spitz and titled, simply, Bowie.  I'd have gone with Chameleon Rock Star, myself; or maybe, Rock & Roll Savior.  Anyway, it's one of a hundred or so bio's published in the last 35 years detailing the Glamor King's life; but even  though I'm a huge DB fan, until now I've never bothered to read one.  I figured (wrongly) that they'd all be too gossipy and salacious to hold my interest, but Mr Spitz's book was a treat to read from start to finish.  Then I searched the internet and found this clip from the British sit-com, Extras, which is mentioned in the book, and I laughed my ass off while watching it.  And now look, I've managed to figure out how to post videos from utube.  Will wonders never cease.   The clip with Ricky Gervais and Patrick Stewart also rocks.  Oh, go ahead, watch them all!
