5 Things you probably didn't know about David Bowie:


5.) His real name is David Jones (to not be confused with Davy Jones).
4.) He went to school with Peter Frampton.
3.) His right pupil is permanently dilated because when he was young, he got into a fight (over a girl).
2.) David Bowie is also a renowned painter (he also played in "Basquiat" as Andy Warhol). Check it out at Bowieart.com.
1.) He's not all glam rock!

David Bowie is probably my favorite musician. Funny story though, no one knows of his later career. Sure in the 70s it was all glam rock, but later he found a new sound. This is the time period I like best of his. In the 90's he had a more contemporary electronic rock feel. No skin tight spandex or face paint here guys. So to get the word out there and hopefully spread my enjoyment, here are a few of my favorites of his from the last 10-15 years.

"Dead Man Walking" My favorite song, period. (Side note, this song was in the movie "The Saint." It was played on Val Kilmer's cd player):


"Jump They Say" I want a suit like this:


"Survive" (cool a surreal video):


"Little Wonder" (weird, but still cool)":


"Never Get Old" (from his newest album "Reality"):
