As a music journalist I interviewed David Bowie twice, once on the phone and once in person. The phone interview took place at 7 am New York time. I lived in LA so had to get up at 4 am to take the call. We discussed coffee a lot (he loved Illy Caffe). The conversation was supposed to last 1/2 hour but went 1 hr 15 mins. It would've gone on longer if Iman had not interrupted, reminding David he had a doctor's appointment (dentist).
The second time was two years later, in person in New York. Again the interview was to be a 1/2 hour but this time lasted two hours. He couldn't get over how strangely beautiful my eyes were and compared them to his own (anyone who's met me will know what he's talking about). We discussed in length how being different affected each of us. He was a genuinely nice, warm, caring, intelligent and artistic gentleman and meeting him was one of the best experiences (and interviews) I ever had.
Thanks David and Rest In Peace my friend.
