No dia 20 de maio de 1979, David Bowie teve duas horas da programação da BBC Radio 1 para tocar músicas de sua escolha. Ao olhar as canções, claramente vemos um cantor tão pesquisador músical quanto qualquer um que gosta de música. Desde clássicos dos anos 1960 até coisas obscuras, como The Mekons e lados B de vários cantores famosos.
Claro que vi esse achado no Dangerous Minds.
