Now tomorrow morning, I'll breakfast in bed, and then get straight up into the tweeds.

They might have sleep slept together; or passed out after a bunch of drugs. I don't think either of them has confirmed or denied it either way. Probably true for Walt Whitman & Oscar Wilde as well. |

Angie Bowie has slagged David off to the press more times than she's had hot dinners. For her to be all weepy over his passing is a bit incredulous to me. If she maintained any love for him after all these years, she wouldn't have spoken so viciously about him. Then again, he did say her self-interest rivals Narcissus, so she's got that going for her.  |

It was rumored David Bowie slept with Marc Bolan also.

I was down in his neighborhood today and there is still a bit of a crowd milling about, leaving flowers and candles at his apartment building. It was touching to see.

His will was recently filed, and it just showed how decent/awesome he was.
His estate was divided between Iman and his children in a way that feels fair. But the awesome part was that he also left a sizable sum to his long-time assistant. She had been with him throughout his career so not too surprising, but still good of him.
But what got me is that he also left a million dollars to his son's nanny. Considering the fact that Duncan is in his 40s, this lady clearly finished her job some time ago. But she was also doing her job when Bowie was coked out and Angie sucks in general, so she was probably Duncan's primary parental figure for a period of time there. I think it was good of Bowie to acknowledge that all these years later by remembering her in his will.

I saw all these articles today about his "bombshell" will. A deceased man left his money to his wife, children and other loved ones. Yes, that is some bombshell.
His personal assistant, Coco, was who he also described as his best friend. In recent years, when pictures were taken of Bowie on the street, it was usually with Coco, not Iman.
Fun fact: Angie claims Coco's interference was the nail in the coffin for her marriage. She also once claimed that the reason her son stopped speaking to her is because she made some remarks to his nanny that he didn't like. So it's a nice little burn to Angie that those two women got more of David's money than she ever did.
By the way, I just love Blackstar. I have never really liked much of what Bowie has done since Let's Dance, but this album is really, really good.

Class and decency to the end. I just wish the $$ details were left out (and I suspect they were under-reported) only because that's very personal and he fiercely protected his family's privacy.
I do love that he asked for his ashes to be scattered in Bali. He had a great affection for the place, and perhaps it's where he felt most at peace. At least I hope so.
I agree that Blackstar is fantastic. I also really liked Heathen and Reality, where he did some of his best work. "New Killer Star" and "Everyone Says Hi" are two of my guilty pleasures.
