His real last name is "Jones".
The record company didn't want him to be David Jones because of Davy Jones in The Monkees! lol

It's strange, but I was a total metal head kid when I discovered Bowie, but I loved his songwriting from the beginning.
One of my favorite Bowie tunes is "Aladdin Sane":
It's fun finding some of these old rare live video clips, some of which I have never seen before:
Here is Bowie playing on his 50th Birthday (with Billy Corrigan of Smashing Pumpkins) in '97. Bowie will be 65 next month.
