The A to Z of David Bowie

In this ever so slightly ‘fruity’ episode of the A TO Z OF DAVID BOWIE Rob and Marc get all hot and bothered whilst encounter the career of Bowie 70’s PR lady Cherry Vanilla. Her tales of nudity and pleasures of the flesh might be a little shocking to the faint of heart so please tread carefully! Much more innocent tho are the tales of Laughing Gnome producer Mike Vernon! And to put this episode to bed our two ‘nosey-neighbours’ take a brutal swipe at the debacle that was Velvet Goldmine (film) and applaud the source of its ‘inspiration' - Velvet Goldmine (song).

Listen in to our latest 'A to Z of db’ to see what Marc and Rob make of Bowie’s long-standing relationship with legendary producer and Holy Holy member Tony Visconti. It was an on-off relationship that at one point witnessed the arrival of a cosmic pixie …early 70’s superstar Marc Bolan…. and the one-and-only John Lennon makes an appearance too! It’s wall-to-wall Pop-Stars in this episode of the A TO Z OF DAVID BOWIE.

In this latest chapter looking at all things Bowie (and related) Marc Riley and Rob Hughes sink to new depths courtesy of 'Woody Woodmansey’s U-Boat', and as unlikely as it seems they get a bit Benny Hill in the company of Salvador Dali, they get cosmic whilst scanning the skies for UFO’s…and then take swift look at David’s 'Uncle Arthur'…a Song not a Relative. But then again - IT’S ALL RELATIVE! INNNIT!

In this deluxe 45 minute Podcast you will hear Bob and Marc charter a path through five different Bowie related subjects… and of course they come up trumps! Top Trumps in fact! Plus there’s a look at the influence and friendship of The Who’s Pete Townshend, there’s a saunter through the career of The Who and Lower Third Producer Shel Talmy, not to mention a glance at the home of the Arts Lab - the Three Tuns Pub in Beckenham…and there’s also a poignant look at the tragically short life of David’s half brother Terry.

This episode of our definitive David Bowie podcast sees Rob and Marc steer their way through a turbulent - but ultimately successful - stage in David’s career. It might not have been everyone’s idea of a winner, but it seemingly helped Bowie steady his ship and freed him up to go on to bigger and (in our opinion) better things. Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. Ladies and Gentlemen - TIN MACHINE.
