Did you know Bowie once conducted an exorcism on his swimming pool? Dig into that story next… at your own peril 👉 https://youtu.be/7Lcrjc5Mzm4

im just surprised he was ever straight, or something approaching that.
also insert a diatribe on young folks not being allowed to fight physically being bad for us etc. etc.

I believe this “fight” could be a coverup for their Occultist, esoteric mystery religious beliefs. Satanists and followers of Norse mythology all know what the missing eye represents.

Fun video on Bowie. I didn't remember all the specifics so I appreciate the recap of what happened. It's great they stayed friends.

I have that, too, although not as pronounced, and it's inherited, not because I was punched. My eyes are green, but the right one looks brown sometimes, and I don't see much out of it, only a blur. Which is also why I have trouble with depth perception. I've noticed it seems to be more visible in photos than in real life, at least for me. But for very long, I was very ashamed of it, I could barely look people in the eyes, because some would look at me weird. I don't care anymore, now.

Gr8 D. Bowie collection, nearly as fabulous as mine, lol. No one talks about how David is on every album cover, except Blackstar, his last. Lots Easter eggs on Blackstar too.

It's funny how an underhanded thing he did as a teenager had such a big impact later on in his life.
