@treyspr Most famous rock musicians from the days of yore (Sorry Bowie!) were on something. Clapton? Heroin. Keith Richards? Herion. Bowie? No offense to him, but that wouldn't surprise me at all.
I dont think I have ever seen someone so high! Massive respect to David for getting off it BEFORE it was too late. Dabbled myself but never to his extent and saying never again is the hardest thing.
Even on cocaine the man makes sense and created fantastic, unique albums.
Glad he's off it though and moved on from it unlike others, what's sad though is that the bitch whose ripping him off (Lady Gaga) has even ripped off his cocaine addiction by saying that she sniffed it to make "art."
This man was totally self-destructed in 74' but he was capable of creating a masterpiece (diamond dogs album) and 2 years later he was cleaned up from drug addiction, he is a genius for everything but he was also very lucky for not being a dead legend as other rock stars
Even though he is on something he is making total sense of his words and is in control of his own thoughts. He's great. A bit nervous although very shy.
Cocaine comatose, I mean he's this out of mind and yet made some of the best music ever. I mean theres nothing fun about cocaine addiction but we probably wouldn't have Station to Station without his drug intake, and I mean he cleaned up and still looks hot at like 70. So whos to say...
Yes, of course the constant fidgeting and sniffing reveals the notorious coke habit, but clearly Bowie is an extremely shy person, so that is an important consideration to take into account when judging his behaviour during these years.
TY 4P. Man, I'm glad the uploader gets it. Bowie may be wound , but he makes sense. He is not zonked out. Call me insane but find him interesting. And he's funny! "Glitting from one thing to another... It's like flit. It's the 70's version.' Bowie is a as alert as Cavett, even more so. Cavett pretends he's hip, but he keeps dropping cliches & putting Bowie down for being different.
Bowie was a man boldly going and taking us with him. Thanks for bringing back all the magic. I salute you, Rebel2
@thewaymouth -- Hi - I didn't see the 'put-downs' you are talking about. To me Cavett seemed to be fairly kind with his shy & eccentric subject. He was working hard during that interview. I'm not saying Bowie was being difficult, but this was a tough interview to conduct and Cavett did well to draw him out as much as he did - the joke about the controversial album cover being a draft photo is pretty funny! Stuff like getting Bowie to clarify what "nicked" means is a good catch as well.
@maxmillion99 Cavett says, some people say 'you would bite my neck' - oh yeah, that's very 'kind.' Nobody thought Bowie would bite anyone's neck. Ridiculous. Cavett rarely says anything complimentary here. He just kept trying to put Bowie ill at ease. Cavett asks, 'Does it makes you nervous to sit and chat... without your band?' That is highly insulting. Why doesn't he just come out and say, are you a child? Are you an animal? Do you belong in a cage? Defend yourself! And Bowie did.
@oddball392 To be fair, Bowie wasn't exactly coming back with much, although i think if Cavett had given him more time to phrase his answers he might have said more. But all in all Bowies brain is totally totally fuct here...
It's amazing that he did so many drugs and still has a good mental and physical condition. He aged well just like jimmy page. I'm glad I only tried drugs when i was 16/17 and stopped. Now I eat right, exercise and meditate and never felt so good. Life is so much better without that shit. I can be happy for days and control it w/out crashing. Happiness.
In his book Right-Hand, Left-Hand,[29] Chris McManus of University College London argues that the proportion of left-handers is increasing and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that increases their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centres of the brain.
Many may not know, Bowie is also a born left hander [although he plays guittar as right handed- ie. Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, David Byrne, etc and as those born left handed [right brained], having a biologically larger right brain- Check the books on this (Wikipedia has a good intro chapter on "left-handed") All the greatest artists, musicians, thinkers , scientists, leaders of the world are left handed people. *Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Einstein, Feynman, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Newton...
@3R1CtheRED That's because a real artist is naturally shy. These new people arent artists...they're showoffs and can't WAIT to be on tv showing their beautiful faces and wonderful charisma. YUCK!
@mcflyfarm I forgot where, but in some interview I think he mentioned that he's good at adopting other people's accents... Maybe he was adopting someone's accent and wasn't realizing it? I dunno...
I adopt accents very easily. I lived in Birmingham for three years and got a bit of a Brummie accent. I haven't lived there for four years now and its gone!
@mcflyfarm He has never had a cockney accent, you have no idea what a cockney accent is! He doesn`t sound that different today - over their lives when people live in different parts of the world their accents do change somewhat, it is a natural thing that happens. People think someone is faking a new accent - I lived in London for 3 yrs and completely adopted a British accent without even realizing how much until I returned to Canada and people commented on it.
Cavett was the best of the talk show interviewers....He allowed the celebrities to really be themselves.....as a result, the shows had far more depth than the typical rehearsed Hollywood or Music business horse sh*t....
I don't think I've ever seen anyone being interviewed on TV before when they are so obviously coked up off their head. He looks really frail and fidgety as hell, bit sad really.
This interview makes me feel sorry for him. I mean ya it was all his choice and I bet anything that he had fun with the drugs but seeing this is just kinda sad. He is such a great man! Better than this.
No two ways about it. Bowie looks terrible in this interview. Anyone who can't see that he's messed up is pretty naive.
This is actually before his Thin White Duke persona. Afterward, as his drug habit(s) ate away at his physical and mental health, Bowie decided to move from Los Angeles to Paris and then West Berlin, where he began recording the groundbreaking Berlin Trilogy with Brian Eno's help.
his discomfiture is no doubt from ingesting the entire early spoils of colombia's burgeoning crop that year - haha msstabby, liked that one - (with the band, of course), but also i think he liked playing at being this earnest, insecure boy-genius for a bit.
plus, he probably knows cavett's a smart guy and has him figured out and that maybe his host is worried he's gonna have an aneurysm during the interview..
@u5chi1 I agree that he is usually The Most Beautiful Man on Earth, but 1974 was a bad year given that he ingested the entire coke supply of South America.
@TheJesterGirl Bowie and his bandmates have said that during the Ziggy period all he did was drink wine and would not even allow the band to smoke pot on performance nights. 1974-1976 were Bowie's cocaine years. Stupid American musicians in L.A. turned him on to it. Brian Eno helped get him off of drugs in Berlin in 1977 because Eno will not work with anybody doing drugs.
He was so out of control during this time... very unhappy, very strapped to his drug abuse. I love everything this guy did or does, but I can't watch this and pretend it's cool to see him like that. I honestly think that one more molecule of cocaine would have made him over dose right there on the show. I'm just glad he eventually pulled through it all as well as he did.
the amazing thing is despite being "out of it" for a few albums round the mid 70s he maintained the quality and the invention. not like far less folk like winehouse and williams who have become just figures of ridicule
Bullshit. See what the improper use of cocaine does. I did coke once and it brought me out of a deep depression. You sir have a lot to learn about the subject.
i dont like that he barely answers these good questions, he's not telling us anything about his liffe, just figiting with his cane like a drugged out junkee...still luv his music tho....
yeah he seemed a bit out of it in this one, but you have to give credit to cavett though. he's apro. the more recent bowie interviews are great though
You can see he's wired, but during his stay in L.A. although he was taking "astronomical amounts of cocaine" he still managed to record what to many is his finest album "Station to Station".
Great to see this interview- read so much about it!
The interviewer calls him an "actor", which is exactly what he is. Pre-empting the likes of Madonna a Lady Gaga many years in advance.

Bullshit. See what the improper use of cocaine does. I did coke once and it brought me out of a deep depression. You sir have a lot to learn about the subject.

Dick Cavett is a class act and probably my favorite interviewer ever. And David is amazing, beautiful, and fascinating to watch, as always! :)

yeah he seemed a bit out of it in this one, but you have to give credit to cavett though. he's apro. the more recent bowie interviews are great though

You can see he's wired, but during his stay in L.A. although he was taking "astronomical amounts of cocaine" he still managed to record what to many is his finest album "Station to Station".
Great to see this interview- read so much about it!
