Golden Years
My friend Tony and I went to see David Bowie in Cleveland at the Public Theatre in 1976 on his tour to promote Station to Station. We sat in the fifth row – center. Or stood on our chairs that is. Right there – face to face with the thin white duke. What a great night. At one point he sang “I’m Waiting for the Man” and when he got to the words “Hey white boy, what you doin’ uptown” I know he pointed right at me. (Of course, Tony might say it was to him.) Never did see him live in concert again, but I can’t imagine ever topping that first experience as a 15 year old fan. And then fan for life. RIP Ziggy.
