David Bowie   “Without You”   b/w “”Criminal World”   EMI Records   (1983)   Keith Haring illustration.     (Personal aside:   I saw Keith Haring twice, once, in 1982 when he came up to Bard College and covered the art center with his graffiti of   radioactive babies.   Then again in 1989 (the year before he died) at the big Andy Warhol retrospective at MOMA.   Okay, maybe not a classic anecdote, but there you go.)
