Keith Richards in an interview said that Bowie was the hardest
partyer he'd ever met. He went on to recount how they had been
partying for a couple of days before Richards hit the sack, he said
when he awoke a day later Bowie was still going..... Supposedly
Bowie is a longtime speed/cocaine user.
I should say that Bowie has always been one of my favorite artists,
a few years back he got them to do a bond issue based on a
collection of his earlier and future works, it sold out no problem.
He continues to innovate....
