David Bowie

Alien Phenomena

 

"I've always felt like a vehicle for something else..."

 

 

January 8th 1947 - David Robert Jones is born, at 40 Stansfield Road, Brixton, London.
Parents are Margaret Mary Burns and Haywood Stenton Jones.

Margaret Burns: "David was born on 8th January. The midwife said to me, 'This child has been on this earth before' and I thought that was rather an odd thing to say, but the midwife seemed quite adamant."

June 24th 1947 - Kenneth Arnold sighting inspires the term flying saucer/s.

Kenneth Arnold.

June/July 1947 - Flight Major Hughie Green, of the British RAF is making a "long and boring trip" alone, by car, from Hollywood to Philadelphia, where he has a business appointment.
His car radio is on...

Hughie Green.

Hughie Green (quoted in FSR Vol.1, No.1): "About 250 miles out of Philadelphia, a commentator interrupted the programme to announce that a flying saucer had crashed in New Mexico, and that the Army were moving in to investigate.

Later the programme was interrupted again, and quite a few details were given.

Several newsflashes about the incident, from various radio stations, followed. The last I heard was just before reaching Philadelphia. The announcer promised further bulletins. None followed.
When I got to Philadelphia I bought all the newspapers I could lay my hands on. But not one carried the story. And questions at the radio stations just drew a blank. It's mystified me ever since."

Summer 1949 - In the woods of Westminster, Massachusetts, U.S.A., Betty Aho (later 'Andreasson' and then 'Luca'), aged twelve, sees a strange-looking little person emerge from a hole. She will recall under hypnosis: "He.. has a funny colour, and has big eyes and a funny suit on. He's pressing a button and it's shooting out something, like a tiny ball of light and it's, coming toward me, and, hitting me in the head again, like before.."

The alien tells Betty that they're preparing things for her to see "..that it may help people in the future."

October 1st 1950 - Thanks to the efforts of Waveney Girvan, Gerald Heard's flying saucer book begins serialisation in the Sunday Express newspaper.

October 8th 1950 - Two of the largest circulation British newspapers now feature flying saucers prominently on their front pages. The Sunday Dispatch include extracts from the two other saucer books already published this year in America: 'The Flying Saucers Are Real' by Donald Keyhoe and 'Behind The Flying Saucers' by Frank Scully.

Waveney Girvan: 'The result of the simultaneous appearance of these two serials.. was to fling the subject so fiercely in the face of the public that the flying saucers could no longer be ignored.. slight and sedate references to the topic of the day began to appear even in the more respectable of the Sunday papers.'

March 1951 - Paperback release of 'Behind The Flying Saucers,' featuring classic Earle Bergey artwork.

Frank Scully book.

November 1952 - George Adamski's meeting with the man from Venus, he will later name Orthon.

George Adamski: "It was about 12.30 in the noon hour on Thursday, 20 November 1952, that I first made personal contact with a man from another world. He came to Earth in his space craft, a flying saucer. He called it a Scout Ship. This took place on the California desert 10.2 miles from Desert Center towards Parker, Arizona."

George Adamski and Desmond Leslie.


Waveney Girvan: 'Publication day.. arrived with quite a flourish. Several national papers gave feature reviews to the book. A weekly illustrated paper had several pages devoted to the subject. Punch contained a long and most thoughtful review, accompanied by a cartoon. The provincial papers followed the national lead and our cuttings file showed us that the topic of flying saucers was back again in the news after its three years' sleep. The radio comedians and the cartoonists returned to the subject like giants refreshed. The saucers were flying again, but this time, with a difference. The subject was, at last, being treated rather more seriously than in the old days when Gerald Heard's pioneer work was first published.'

December 29th, 1953 - One of the outstanding French UFO photographs is taken in Paris, at
3.45 a.m., by engineer Paul Paulin.

Autumn 1954 - There is a wave of UFO sightings and witnessed landings of anomalous craft in France.

1954 - 'The Saucers Speak' by George Hunt Williamson is published.

George Hunt Williamson.

George Hunt Williamson [from the book]:
"This documentary report on communication with space craft in the earth's atmosphere covers the period from August 2, 1952 until the time of writing.

Communication was also established with several planets in our own solar system and with space craft in our atmosphere from other Solar Systems.

For the most part.. messages were received in International Morse Code through radiotelegraphy. There was one instance where radiotelegraphy was employed by the space craft intelligences."

Timothy Green Beckley [from his 1994 re-issue under the title 'Other Voices']:
"The authors, George Hunt Williamson and his associate, Alfred C.Bailey, were ham radio operators who claimed contact with extraterrestrial beings who were continually broadcasting messages to them from spaceships circling in the Earth's uppermost atmosphere. At the time, these authors came under fairly heavy verbal attack as the mere idea that aliens were setting foot on our world seemed a much more remote concept than it might be considered in this day and age. Not surprisingly, they were often referred to in less than complimentary terms by researchers seemingly unwilling to try and duplicate such contacts with space beings on their own."

1954/1955 - Flying Saucer books are published by Morris Jessup, Leonard Cramp,
Harold T.Wilkins (2), Waveney Girvan, and Donald Keyhoe.

James Moseley starts Saucer And Unexplained Celestial Events Research Society, which publishes Saucer News.

Laura Mundo and Donald Keyhoe.


The British magazine Flying Saucer News features a two-page exclusive report by Gavin Gibbons on a remarkable sighting by a Mrs.Roestenberg and her three children of a spaceship with occupants that flew over her home near Ranton, Staffordshire, England.

Drawings based on original sketches by Jessie Roestenberg.

Jessica Roestenburg: "..I saw, suspended in the air, a massive disc - bright silver and shaped like a Mexican hat. In the middle was a tubular light going round very slowly. It had a dome, like glass, and inside it were two beings looking down at us.

They were the most beautiful people I have seen, but they weren't human.
Their foreheads were large in proportion to the rest of their faces and they had long golden hair. I could only see them from the chest upwards, and they were wearing what looked like vivid blue polo-neck jumpers and what looked like fish bowls over their heads..

I was absolutely paralysed. I wasn't frightened.. but I was mesmerized. It seemed to last for ages but it could only be for a few minutes. I felt all the tension go from me and I felt a sense of peace I have never felt since."

More books also by men claiming to have encountered the operators of the craft and/or to have been for a trip on board. These 'contactee' authors include Cedric Allingham; Daniel Fry; Truman Bethurum; Orfeo Angelucci, and, the most famous of them all, George Adamski.

Laura Mundo and George Adamski.

Flying Saucer Review, edited by Derek Dempster, commences publication.
The May/June 1955 issue includes 'A Strange Tale From Missouri,' which comprises two letters sent to the magazine by rancher Buck Nelson, in which he tells the story of his first four contacts with the Space People.

The first of them had been at 4pm, on July 30th, 1954, when he'd been allowed to observe three dark-aluminium coloured objects in the sky "..alternately hovering, turning right and left, and rising and descending sharply." Mr.Nelson had taken three photographs, before being thrown to the ground by an intensely hot and bright beam of light, that took away the lumbago and neuritis he'd previously suffered from.

It all began with strange sounds coming over the radio.

Buck Nelson: "I was listening to the radio around 4pm on July 30 last year when a high-pitched noise and what appeared to be a foreign tongue cut across the programme. I listened for a few minutes and then turned the volume down and tried to tune in to get the programme more clearly; but the noise, mixed up with the babble of an unknown language, persisted.

At the same time I heard my pony raising Cain outside the house and my dog barking and scratching the door to attract my attention. I went out and what I saw astonished me..."

Buck Nelson.

May 1955 - Leading American journalist and TV/radio personality, Dorothy Kilgallen, reports from London an historic story about 'British scientists and airmen' having examined the wreckage of a flying saucer with small men on board.

Dorothy Kilgallen.

June 1955 - David's family move to new home in Bromley, and he is enrolled at Burnt Ash Junior School.

Peter & Leni Gilman: "John and Peggy owned a television and it was always David who decided which channel they should view of the two then available.

Dr.Wilhelm Reich.

Wilhelm Reich: "There is no proof. There are no authorities whatever.

No President, Academy, Court of Law, Congress or Senate on this earth has the knowledge or power to decide what will be the knowledge of the future. There is no use in trying to prove something that is unknown to somebody who is ignorant of the unknown, or fearful of its threatening power. Only the good, old rules of learning will eventually bring about understanding of what has invaded our earthly existence. Let those who are ignorant of the ways of learning stand aside, while those who know what learning is, blaze the trail into the unknown.

Quest for knowledge is Supreme Human Activity.

Nothing but the rules of learning can or should ever govern it."

David Robert Jones.

George Underwood: "I remember when we were at Bromley Tech, we would experiment with telepathy. We would arrange to be something at a particular time in the evening and then the following day we would compare our thoughts. It was uncanny how on so many occasions, our thoughts were similar."

Howard Menger: "..many people have seen them land - such as myself , and countless others who have not told of their experiences.. physical beings like ourselves operate the craft.. They are humans and look just like we do, excepting their manner of dress.. They communicate telepathically and orally with whomever they contact.. They say they come in love and compassion for us, their brothers, to help ourselves to reach a higher understanding of life and its meaning.."

Christopher Sandford: 'As a twelve-year-old in Plaistow Grove.. (David) fantasized that aliens were visiting him at night to "study my habits." A thriving 1950s science-fiction culture egged him on. Bowie's favourite TV programme as a teenager had been The Quatermass Experiment; the main highlight of his week was the war and space travel hybrid of Dan Dare.'

1960 - 'The Sky People' by Brinsley Le Poer Trench published.

Brinsley le Poer Trench: "This is the story of the Sky People who have been coming to Earth for millions of years. Countless legends and myths in the folklore, mythologies and sacred books of everywhere refer to a period - a Golden Age - when the gods came down and mingled with mortals. The myths themselves are but the fairy story coverings these true happenings of a byegone age were wrapt up in to preserve them for posterity.

At times of crisis the Sky People have assisted in establishing a new civilisation after a period of cataclysm and have brought much needed light and wisdom to the remnant who had to build anew. After giving this tonic shot in the arm the visitors would withdraw to see what humanity did with its newly acquired knowledge..

Yes, today, the Sky People are back with us again! Since 1947, literally thousands of their space ships have been seen in every part of the world. They have been photographed, filmed and recorded frequently on radar. Many people, too, have claimed actual physical contact with the occupants of these ships of light. Once more the Sky People are mingling with mortals!"

early 1961 - Tony Wedd starts his STAR Fellowship group.

John Anthony Dunkin Wedd.

Tony Wedd: "For myself I make no claim to be a 'contactee.' Without some sort of physical confirmation I could never be sure of getting communications through. However, there was one particular communication which was quite remarkable. It concerned medicine and music. The suggestion was that doctors should use music in their consulting rooms, not only for its therapeutic value and for its capacity to put the doctor and patient en rapport, but because it can reawaken the patient's sense of purpose, especially if it is old music, known in a previous life and that doctors can help to re-establish that purpose.

The Space People admitted that life was easier on other planets and that tenacity of purpose could best be learnt by being born on Earth. They said they admired those who chose to struggle against odds in this way.

Meanwhile I experienced (1) two songs 'on the brain,' which I strove in vain to put out of my mind, and (2) an improvement in the headache I had begun with, one which nearly made me forego my communication hour that morning. Thus, I was given an actual demonstration of the curative power of music, and its ability to act as a sort of 'carrier-wave' between two minds.."

September 1961 - UFO encounter of Betty and Barney Hill in New Hampshire, U.S.A. Later revealed, under hypnosis, to be an (apparent) alien abduction.

Forms Davie Jones and the The King Bees.

Davie Jones, singer of The King Bees.

June 1964 - The King Bees' 'Liza Jane' single is released, and promoted on TV.

George Underwood: "We've been close friends for so long. We got on really well from the start.. We both loved to entertain and the sound of applause was seductive. David was becoming dedicated to it. With the King-Bees on Ready Steady, Go! I wonder if Dave Clark has got a tape of that show? John Lee Hooker was on it. Some things don't change. I'd love to see it again."

Denis Taylor: "I remember the day quite well actually. Graham [Rivens] and I had been out somewhere and we went back to Ralph's flat and David proclaimed that he had changed his name. I said 'What to' and he said, 'Bowie.' I asked him why Bowie and he replied because he liked the surname of Jim Bowie, the American. At the time I didn't think 'Bowie' was a very up-and-coming star's name to pick. many people pronounce it wrong as well, it grew into the right name though."

1965 - Centro UFOlogico Unico (later Centro UFOlogico Nazionale) organisation is founded in Italy. It produces a magazine, Notiziario UFO, edited by Roberto Pinotti.

Rock 'n' Roll star, Vince Taylor.

(Accounts vary of what occurred. One of them follows).

David Bowie: "I met him a few times in the mid-Sixties, and I went to a few parties with him. He was out of his gourd. Totally flipped. The guy was not playing with a full deck at all. He used to carry maps of Europe around with him, and I remember him opening a map outside Charing Cross tube station, putting it on the pavement and kneeling down with a magnifying glass. He pointed out all the sites where UFOs were going to land."

'..And his ambition? "I want to act," says Bowie modestly, "I'd like to do character parts. I think it takes a lot to become somebody else. It takes some doing.
"Also I want to go to Tibet. It's a fascinating place y'know. I'd like to take a holiday and have a look inside the monasteries. The Tibetan monks, Lamas, bury themselves inside mountains for weeks and only eat every three days. They're ridiculous - and it's said they live for centuries."
It should be stated that David is a well-read student of astrology and a believer of reincarnation...
"As far as I'm concerned the whole idea of Western life - that's the life we live now - is wrong. These are hard convictions to put into song though..." '

"Mr.Russell was suddenly aware of an object plummetting from the sky, stopping dead, hovering, and then drifting slowly earthwards with a pendulum swinging motion. He had the good sense to 'slap the camera to infinity' and to take a series of photographs, the last two as the object moved away, at first slowly, and then with considerable speed."

(Left to right) The first, second and third of Mr.Russell's photos.

Gets 'informal job' at Legastat printing firm, 57 Carey Street.

Auditions (on 17th & 23rd) for the American musical Hair.
The outstanding song in this production carries an extremely similar message to that conveyed by the Space People to Paul Villa and to other contactees:

"When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
The peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius, Aquarius..."

August 1968 - Moves into small flat at 22, Clareville Grove, South Kensington with Hermione Farthingale.

John Hutchinson: "There weren't any chairs so we always used to sit on the floor, and David would pop out for a take-away curry. There were grasses and fringed things on the bed, and it had a nice feel about it..
..They seemed to suit each other very well. It made David very different. He was completely recovered from the Ralph Horton period. He was fine."

Jerry Hopkins: "Hermione Farthingale? Some said she was the key to David's personality, the key to everything."

1968 - 'Quatermass and the Pit,' filmed in colour, goes on release.

David Shipman: "..it is the first film to send science-fiction backwards in time with the suggestion that the evolution of mankind owed much, if not everything, to the intervention of aliens..."

Neil Norman: "Third and last film taken from Nigel Kneale's groundbreaking BBC science-fiction serials sees Prof.Quatermass investigating an alien spaceship that has been unearthed by workers digging out a tunnel in the London Underground. Great production values plus a real sense of unearthly presence mark this Hammer production as the best of the trilogy. The SFX may be primtive but the overall atmosphere of claustrophobic horror is well maintained."

The special effects on this, and on the two previous films in the trilogy, are the work of a man named Leslie Bowie (!).

Also, going on release this year is '2001: A Space Oyssey.'

January 1969 - The Condon report is publicly released as 'The Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects.'

February 1969 - Six date tour with Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Kenneth Pitt: "On the 20th David was recalled by the producers of Hair and was auditioned. Neither of us had seen the play so that night we both went to the Shaftesbury Theatre, where it was being staged. David didn't like it very much and therefore wasn't fretful when, after yet another recall on the 28th, he was deemed unsuitable to join the cast."

April 1969 - Introduced to (Mary) Angela Barnett.

Moves to Foxgrove Road, Beckenham.

Starts weekly Folk Club, later to become an Arts Lab, at Three Tuns pub, in Beckenham High Street.

June 1969 - Begins recording second LP at Trident Studios, London.

Angela Bowie: "And now I have to tell you something important, crucial really. Although I'm uncertain about it these days, I must confess that as I watched David committing his art to tape in that studio, a feeling inside me became a conviction: David was one of the Light People.
This belief was an integral component of my attraction to him, and a powerful factor in the loyalty and trust I (mis)placed in him..."

Paul Buckmaster: "We had some wonderful intellectual discussions. The first ones we had had a lot to do with a sort of pop science-fiction mysticism mixed with a bit of metaphysics and spiritualism. We were talking about aliens and UFOs a lot when we first met. It seemed to be the primary topic of debate..."

July 1969 - 'Space Oddity' is first released as a single.

Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin step out on the moon. In Beckenham, London, the broadcast is watched by David Bowie, Angie, Mary Finnigan and Ray Stevenson.

Peter & Leni Gillman: "According to Mary, Angie became 'completely hysterical,' laughing, crying and screaming. 'She went completely mad,' Mary recalls. 'We all smoked a lot of dope and we were profoundly moved, but not as much as that.'

It may have been the dope that has led Mary to believe that David was not at Foxgrove Road that night, but the photographer Ray Stevenson, a follower of the Beckenham Arts Lab, is certain that he was. At one point, Stevenson says, Angie went outside to look at the moon. When she came back she claimed - seriously, so far as Stevenson could tell - to have seen aliens or spacemen landing at the end of the street. 'David humoured her,' Stevenson recalls. 'He said, 'Oh really, Angie?' ' "

August 1969 - Organises the Beckenham Free Festival, which is held at the Beckenham (later Croydon Road) recreation ground, London, with 5,000+ people in attendance.

Interview with Mary Finnigan in International Times.

David Bowie: "It's like people learning to swim, you take them along something they know and can walk on right to the very end and then you bounce them off into the water. The springboard is something they know.. then you just plunge 'em off into the energy at the end.. It's little ripples going out in the beginning - then I drop bigger pebbles making harder ripples. I'm playing energy games.. and I've got a vibration on this posterity thing too..."

October 1969 - 'Space Oddity' enters the U.K. top 20.

Move to 'Haddon Hall,' 42 Southend Road, Beckenham.

November 1969 - His second LP, which is also called 'David Bowie' (in Britain), comes out, including: Space Oddity / Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed / Letter To Hermione /
Cygnet Committee
Janine / An Occasional Dream / Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud / God Knows I'm Good /
Memory Of A Free Festival

Ricardo Forest: "His..masterpiece Space Oddity not only spoke of Major Tom and his conflicts with ground control, but in Memory of a Free Festival Bowie eloquently painted a portrait of UFO contact that has been rarely equaled in the poetry of rock music. 'The sun machine is coming down and we're going to have a party,' he wrote. It's a UFO theme that is still being played to the beat of rock 'n' roll."

The U.K. gatefold sleeve features a front cover by Vernon Dewhurst based on 'CTA 25 Neg' by Hungarian-born artist Victor Vasarely.

On the back is a picture by George Underwood called 'The Depth of the Circle.' This substantial work of art includes, in the lower-right quarter depictions of: an alien figure; some spherical objects; a flying saucer-type craft (with upper dome, and 'tripod legs' below), and David Bowie, himself, resembling the way Space People have been said to be.

Kenneth Pitt: "The back cover was a drawing by George Underwood from an idea scribbled on a piece of paper by David. It illustrated aspects of the lyrics and a likeness of Hermione was seen in the top-left corner. It seems that David had a vague notion to recognise people who were working with him, for the original sketch included heads of Calvin and myself, but insufficient space caused us both to be omitted from George's final artwork."

Goes on tour, and there are interviews.

George Tremlett: "It was Monday, 17 November 1969.. our fourth interview..
I think it was the UFOs that took our conversation to another plane. Bowie tried to convince me he saw flying saucers every night, passing over the house soon after 6 p.m. 'You could set your clock by it,' he said with a straight face. This was not the first time a musician tried one like that on me, so I asked if he lived beneath the flight path to Heathrow Airport and, knowing his taste in drugs, said I preferred a good bottle of malt."

David Bowie.

1969 - English language edition of Erich Von Daniken's first book is published under the title of 'Chariots of The Gods?'

First published this year is 'The Humanoids':
"Here, at last, is the astounding story.. over 300 actual landings and contacts between beings from outer space and Earth humans, reported by doctors, policemen, housewives, farmers, people amazed and often frightened by what they saw. The first fully documented testimony to one of the most extraordinary phenomena of this century collected by Charles Bowen, the editor of Flying Saucer Review, with the help of people like Aime Michel, Jacques Vallee, Gordon Creighton, Dr.W.Buhler and many other eminent scientists and astronomers."

And, Jacques Vallee's own (third) book 'Passport To Magonia' is also published.

Marc Bolan: "'Space Oddity'.. was a sleeper for months before it became a hit, and I played on 'Prettiest Star,' you know which I thought was a great song, and it flopped completely."

"..One day, though it might as well be someday,
you will rise up high and take us all away,
all because of what you are..
the prettiest star..."
(This lyric was to change in a later version)

June 1970 - Re-recorded 'Memory of a Free Festival' single release.

Nick Massey, Philips Group Records press release:
"Ever since his astounding record 'Space Oddity,' David Bowie has been hailed as one of the biggest assets British music has.

He won a special Ivor Novello Award For Originality from the Song Writers Guild Of Great Britain, for 'Space Oddity' last year, at which time his first Philips album was released.

Recently, David has been working with lead guitarist Mick Ronson, drummer Michael Woodmansey and record producer/bass player Tony Visconti who are now David's backing group.
Together, they have re-recorded one of the tracks from the LP for release as a single.
'Memory Of A Free Festival' continues David's theme of 'man versus machine' with superb results..."

Mick Ronson: "David became convinced he was being stalked by men from Mars."

Mick Ronson.

Christopher Sandford: "Bowie's stargazing may have amounted to little more than buying a telescope and occasionally standing on the roof of Haddon Hall aiming a wire coat-hanger at the skies. (He came down one evening and complained to Ronson he felt like 'a pillock' when a golfer on the next-door course had shouted up to him, 'Do you get BBC2?'). None of this diluted Bowie's interest in space travel, or his rising conviction that aliens were playing a sinister role in controlling his thoughts..

..On another occasion he ended a session at the Three Tuns by suddenly shouting that 'greenies' were leaping up at him. But it was when he was sober and talking about his own sanity that Bowie most grabbed. For years, whenever he walked home from Beckenham Junction, he complained of a 'buzzing in the head' caused by the Crystal Palace transmitter, whose pulsing red lights were 'fucking up my mind.' "

Tony Visconti: "It's no surprise that David was interested in UFOs, but we never spoke much about that subject. He introduced me to his friend, songwriter/singer Leslie Duncan. We both visited Leslie at her top-floor flat in West Hampstead one day. Leslie and her boyfriend talked about UFOs for hours. It was their speciality and the purpose of our visit was for David to introduce me to them.

After dark I went out on their balcony with the boyfriend who eventually said, 'They are up there all the time.' Then he suddenly pointed up and we could see a faint moving object, about the size of a medium bright star, moving rapidly across the night sky. 'There's one,' he said. I said it couldn't be; it was only a satellite. He said it wasn't and we should just keep watching it. Quickly, very unlike a satellite, the object did a 90-degree turn and moved more rapidly, and then it disappeared. David was inside the flat when this happened but we ran to tell him and Leslie about it."

January 1971 - 'Holy Holy' single.

Interview with Dai Davies - 'The coming of the Tyrant' - is printed in Music Now:

"Bowie is intensely interested in the idea of Homo Superior, the being that will replace us, homo sapiens, as the ruling creature on Earth, in the same way that man replaced his predecessors -
'One of the reasons, probably the main reason that the Nazis were trying to build up a race of supermen was to combat homo superior when he arrives and stop him from taking over the world. The whole Nazi thing was given the image of a mission by their very effective publicity machine, and it really appealed to the youth of an entire nation. The Leader that's going to take this country over will have to be a lot more youth orientated than (Enoch) Powell. It's the youth that are feeling the boredom most, they are crying out for leadership to such an extent that they will even resort to following the words of some guitar hero.' "

May 1971 - Lars Thorn, who is accompanied by his four year-old son Stefan, takes two outstanding photographs of an unidentified flying object, near Skillingaryd, in southern Sweden.

Lars Thorn (quoted in FSR Vol.17, No.5): "Although it was stationary, it wobbled, or rocked to and fro all the time. On the upper side there appeared to be a dome, and below the disc there was something grey and red, and again, below that, I could see what looked like a green ribbon. At the very bottom it was red. There came from it a 'whizzing' sound at intervals of 10-15 seconds."

Gets new short hair cut.

January 1972 - 'Oh you pretty thing' interview with Michael Watts, printed in Melody Maker:

"His other inspiration is mythology. He has a great need to believe in the legends of the past, particularly those of Atlantis; and for the same need he has created a myth of the future, a belief in an imminent race of supermen called Homo Superior. It's his only glimpse of hope, he says - 'all the things we can't do they will.' "

David Bowie: "'Starman' can be taken at the immediate level of 'There's a Starman in the Sky Saying Boogie children,' but the theme of it is that the idea of things in the sky is really quite human and real and we should be a bit happier about the prospect of meeting people."

June 1972 - 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars' LP is released and becomes an immediate hit.
It comprises: Five Years / Soul Love / Moonage Daydream / Starman / It Ain't Easy

Dorchester Hotel, London press conference:

David Bowie: "There is this awful idea that there's going to be some sort of eruption in the next few years and we'll all be kaput. What frightens me even more is that people are holding on to a century that is fast dying. That includes a lot of young people as well, those, for example, who are into the idea of communal living. I think that things are going to change so incredibly and so drastically that we should really start developing our ideas along a different tangent. I don't know which way we should go but what with the pill and sperm banks and with all those trimmings, things have got to change very drastically. It's going to be a brave new world and we either join it or we become living relics."

David Bowie.

January 1973 - David Bowie: "I've always felt like a vehicle for something else, but then I've never really sorted out what that was. I think everybody, at one time or another, gets that kind of feeling: that they aren't just here for themselves, and more often than not, they turn to the Bible and agree that it's probably Jesus and God all all of that section of religion. There's a feeling that we are here for another purpose. And in me it's very strong."

Appearance on British TV programme 'Russell Harty Plus.'

Russell Harty: Do you believe in God?
David Bowie: I believe in an energy form, but I wouldn't like to put a name to it.

Japanese tour.

May/June 1973 - Traveling to Boulogne, France, on the way back to Britain, he is interviewed by Roy Hollingworth for Melody Maker:

"He talked about the fate of the world for approximately two hours. Well, not just he, but we.
'I have feelings that I know just what is going on. I have feelings.'

The train rattles through Monsieur, or somewhere like that. 'I might put them into songs. You know, these feelings.'

Bowie still chain-smokes (almost everybody else's ciggies, not his own). Leee Childers behind his reflecting sun-shades. Cherry Vanilla vanillas on. Angie Bowie smiles, and is indeed very lovely.

'You see Roy,' said Bowie, softly, looking straight at me, dead-eyed, a can of beer acting as the microphone, 'I've gone through a lot of changes... A whole lot of changes. It's all happened on my way back from Japan. You see... I've seen life, and I think I know who's controlling this damned world.
And after what I've seen of the state of this world. I've never been so damned scared in my life.'

Are you going to write about it?
'If I did it would be my last album ever.'
You mean that?
'It would have to be my last album ever.'
Why?
'Because I don't think I'd be around after recording it.'
Are you ill?
'I believe I am. I have a very strange pain in my right hand side. I've had it for about a year. It's a pain that now has to be taken to a specialist.'

His eyes are full of menace now - mainly because his belly's full of beer, which we all constantly drink. We pass a field of French beef, and Bowie starts to cough, and cough, and he can't stop.
'The cough darling?' inquires Angie. Bowie answered her with this deep, frightening cough which for God's sake, starts somewhere in his stomach!
'The (cough) changes I've seen...they have to be written about.'
Then YOU write them David! (I say).
'Yes (cough), I suppose somebody must (cough). I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders.'

Yes, he could actually carry the world on his shoulders. It's all down to the cut of the jacket. the shoulders are very big."

U.K. Aladdin Sane tour begins.

'Life On Mars?' single release.

Article/interview by Mick Rock is printed in Music Scene magazine:

" 'I should like to replace all parts of my body with plastic equivalents. Then I couldn't grow old. I could just sit inside and watch it all function perfectly.' The strange young man with the flame-red mane and the thin blue lines where most people have eyebrows seems to relish the thought. His eyes gleam excitedly. 'I'd be a robot then, wouldn't I?' Not quite. But you get the point.
He pauses; a set of neatly manicured and varnished fingernails -
'All my own work,' he chuckles - reaches up to administer a delicate flick to his nose.
Already, though still flesh and bone, David Bowie gives a distinctly futuristic, otherworldly feel."

July 1973 - Hammersmith Odeon 'retirement' concert, filmed by D.A.Pennebaker.

In the dressing room, he reveals that his mother has seen her first spaceship.

Review of 'Aladdin Sane' by Ben Gerson, printed in Rolling Stone:

"The twin impulses are to be a star (ie Jagger) and to be a star (ie Betelgeuse). The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars depicted an impending doomsday, an extraterrestrial visitation and its consequences for rock and society. Although never so billed, Ziggy was a rock opera, with plot, characters, and musical and dramatic momentum. Aladdin Sane, in far less systematic fashion, works over the same themes - issuances from the Bowie schema which date back to The Man Who Sold The World. Bowie is cognizant that religion's geography - the heavens - has been usurped, either by science or by actual beings.

If by conventional lights Bowie is a lad insane, then as an Aladdin, a conjurer of supernatural forces, he is quite sane. The titles may change from album to album - from the supermen, the Homo superior, Ziggy, to Aladdin - but the vision, and Bowie's rightful place in it, remain constant. The pun of the title, alternately vaunted and dismissive, plays on his own sense of discrepancy. Which way you read it depends upon whether you are viewing the present from the eyes of the past or the future.
Bowie's programme is not complete, but it involves the eleimination of gender differences, the inevitability of Armageddon, and the conquering of death and time as we know them. Stardom is the means towards attaining a vantage point from which to foresee, and an elevation from which to lead. The awesome powers and transformations civilization associates with heaven and hell will be unleashed on earth."

Five LPs in U.K. top 40 chart.

David Bowie: "These are all songs which really meant a lot to me then, they're all very dear to me. These are all bands which I used to go and hear down at the Marquee between 1964 and 1967. Each one meant something to me at the time. It's my London of the time."

With Twiggy on the LP cover.

NBC TV's 'The Midnight Special' recording of David Bowie's '1980 Floor Show,' in which 8 songs are performed, including a duet with Marianne Faithfull, and appearance by Amanda Lear.
The Troggs and Carmen also played for the show.

Amanda Lear: "In the meantime I returned to London, to take up my romance with Bowie once again and to try to make something of it. David greeted me with an exciting new project that concerned a show for American television. I was to sing in the show, as well as present it. He also wanted me to write the dialogue! The show would be filmed at the Marquee, and the costumes would be as weird as possible. I decided to appear as the Queen of Spades, while David dressed all in white, looking like a pawn on a giant chess-board..."
