David Bowie- Station to Station 50th Anniversary

"The way you change Music is by changing the music," David Bowie told me, without any hint of irony whatsoever, as we discussed  January 1976's "Station to Station". Songs include "Golden Years","Stay" ,"TVC 1-5" ,"Wild is the Wind" , and the title song, often cited by post-punk bands including The Cars, Talking Heads, and Gary Numan as a major influence. David Bowie guests for "Golden Years" golden anniversary.

David Bowie- Earthling

David Bowie chalked up the enthusiastic reception to "Earthling", a #6 seller in the UK, to his chemistry with his live band. Bowie went on to share a delightful, enthusiastic conversation about Bowie's twenty-first (!!!) album, "Earthling", a worldwide million seller for the former "Starchild" and Man Who Fell to Earth.

David Bowie- Young Americans

By 1975 David Bowie had abandoned the Glam Rock he had virtually invented in the guise of the ego-tripping tragicomic Fallen Rock Star, Ziggy Stardust. Bowie's mid-decade "Young Americans" album with the #1 hit "Fame" pointed directly toward Disco's dominance a mere two years later...the late David Bowie is my guest for "Young Amercans"

David Bowie- Life on Mars?- NYC 11-19-99

Mott the Hoople- Mott- Ian Hunter

One of Britain's most beloved party bands this side of The Faces, Mott the Hoople is still revered there with sold-out tours, and we were so fortunate to have Mott main man Ian Hunter join me In the Studio for the golden anniversary of "Mott". Or should I say "The Golden Age of Rock'n'Roll"?
