David Bowie - Dick Cavett PART 2

[Elliemcel]

“See I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do, and if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and burn 'em. 'cause you know the musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years.... rrrrrrrrreal f**kin high on drugs.” - Bill Hicks

[carazoe2k11]

bowie has the voice of an angel, gets me all sleepy

[dirtysmalltowngirls]

watched this when i was about 13 and DID NOT GET that he was all coked up

[MrLuigiFercotti]

Wow, Cavett really having to work hard here. David is coked off his ass, touched his nose, sniff sniff. Can you say twitchy?

[royc1]

Gutted that I never got a chance to see Bowie perform before he retired. Hes my idol though and I wish him all the best with whatever hes doing now, be it art or just being a family man.

[Maraguzzi]

haha hes actually quite calm even while on coke

[jamanklemp]

Babe sorry but you are now 65. I still love and adore you.(I AM a woman)

[ftheGOP]

this is when Bowie was using a lot and it shows.

[ibederping]

Dear lord, look at that cane, it's almost as impressive as the pretty Bowie holding it.

[beanworldcows]

after watching this i went out and bought a cane.

[lcjj7]

@beanworldcows after watching this i went out and bought a gram of coke.

[alphonsedot]

lololol i wish i was tht cane

[blackcat91000]

I like how through the whole thing he looks like he is ignoring him.

[NightmareLoveForever]

He's so gorgeous and adorable! <3

[riverdale999]

Looks like Diana.



[fmarockerfreak]

Cavett mentioning to Bowie the idea of a Beatles reunion in their 70s kind of made me a little sad

[annacramful]

Bowie's the only guy on earth who can remain humble on cocaine...whoa..

[MsBauhaus1919]

Could anybody please tell me what  "the draft board" is? I'm an alien.

[discovoodoodolly]

@MsBauhaus1919 the draft board was an institution in the U.S. that notified men during the Vietnam war that they would be forced into serving as soldiers in the war.

[discovoodoodolly]

@MsBauhaus1919 although it was appropriately topical at the time, it wasn't really appropriate to Bowie since he's British and the war was strictly America versus Vietnam.

[MsBauhaus1919]

@discovoodoodolly, thank you very much)

[Porly62]

You can almost taste the cocaine yourself...

[Eggs4Eva]

he has no eyebrows...  still he is sexy! how does he do it??

[erislaton]

Bowie is dressed like Larry King.

[dlfunky1]

@whiteej21 more jittery and drug induced.

[diewasseratte]

All coked up, fidgety and nervous as Hell. Must have been a tough interview for Cavett. It's interesting to view this early Bowie. He's certainly transformed himself into a self-confident, charming stage presence since then.

[DaBunne]

me = the 69th person to "Like" :D

[unwell333]

6:49 take it all off!

lol

[LadyBowie1119]

Maybe David's cane wouldn't have irritated Cavett so much if he'd had it in the other hand...?

[tasteofmadness]

The moment at 8:21-8:22 is so hilarious to me. The way he goes from the big exagerated laugh to the completely serious face in a snap of 2 seconds is just hilarious.

[Jannacek]

what does he say at 1:44? after the your attention joke?

[potentialcrayon]

@Jannacek "It's therapeutic" :)

[melikeymikey87]

Well someone's high as the cats whiskers lol :)

[LadyBowie1119]

It's weird David developed a fear of flying, since he flew from England to America in 1971, 3 years before this.

[Nigelxman]

Don't stop sorting and touching your nose David. lol

[LasgalenOsten]

Nervous Bowie? STRANGE.

[jezzalynrivaz]

o damn he is sooo hot i love his hair

[musicisloveCS]

"Do you ever try and picture yourself at sixty?"

*nervous laughter*

[samuelwilliamsummers]

his face at 2:03 scares the shite out of me

[HelloDown]

4:53 AAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH

[katiekawaii]

He is so high.

[rollagasper]

"Shoving nutmeg under their cuticles" - best part of the interview.

[anney0207]

this isn't part 3 ??? thnx 4 upploadinn anyway x

[ozzfan1979]

so sexy david is

[geniusABBY]

Aw David! He's so bright and lovely. I am very glad he quit the coke. High or not, he always commands the stage.

[AngelGhostchild]

I find that funny, "Do you ever try and picture yourself at sixty." Well past that now, hasn't put anything new out yet. Ah well, these are great to watch, he's wonderful. I wish I was born around then so I could have seen this sooner.

[jinmunsuen]

@AngelGhostchild yeah i feel the same way, i only really started taking interest in bowie 5 years ago... i'm 20 now, and he's 63? I feel so behind, and i feel like i missed out on a lot of excitement... but gah, what can you do? he must be an ageless idol.

[Nadonian111]

@jinmunsuen He still looks great though.

[naumnn]

I think that if he could have seen himself in his 60's, he would have been very pleased. :-)

[tyleryesta1]

he is very paranoid and yes very coked BUT very Brilliant nonetheless.

[kjsh987]

i think he was nervous in that moment

[MustangGlam]

i love his hair :P

[LaraPeace]

very interesting. bowie is very bright, creative and brilliant but also very shy. like this interview!

[iutuber1]

yeah little did he know that only 2 beatles will reach their 60s..

[SirPwn4lot]

Dick Cavett reminds me of Carl Sagan.

Great video.

[charmcchar]

jesus he's on coke!! haha so twitchy and sniffy! lol

[SiggiLyrica]

"What are you drawing?"

"Your attention"

Cracks me up

[WILLOW5033]

Wow, everyone whistles and cheers when he takes his coat off ;D

[WILLOW5033]

"so this is the picture you send to the draft borad?" LMAO!!!!!

[Obiwannabe]

sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff

[MmeLEnfer]

twiddle, twiddle, twiddle twiddle, twiddle that cane!

[Spuntikable]

@Obiwannabe HE MIGHT HAVE A COLD!!!

[angy2323]

Someone can translate this to Spanish??

Please...T_T

[nedzroz]

Oh, my God.  He was HIGH!

[Yakovlievich]

David or Dick?

[nedzroz]

David. He looks like an advertisement for the Colombian department of Agriculture.

[Yakovlievich]

I know you meant David! Just jerking with you!

But still, do you think that Dick might have been high too? (I do.) Obviously he didn't get to David's altitude - David's orbit actually.

[nedzroz]

Heh. I am not sure. If dick was on something, I don't know what it was. He certainly isn't didn't share with David. I think he may have been astonished at just how hiiiiiiiiiiiigh David was.

I think he saw David inhale a sugar bowl backstage shortly before filming and was surprised. That would be a shock for Live TV.

[Yakovlievich]

Just imagine if Hunter S. Thompson was there.

Then again, maybe that's just too much!

[robotorb]

Holy cocaine Bowie! Jesus! LMAO! This period IS REALLY The Man WHo Fell To Earth! ; p
