That would explain why my old Hollywood friend Ben d'Abo flooded my fb timeline 
with David Bowie stuff this morning. Ben's Dad worked with Bowie once upon a 
time, and I believe wrote some of his music.

I was kind of taken aback when I was a radio DJ and Bowie (and other glitter 
glam music) appeared on the top-20 playlist. But I got used to it <g>. I called 
him the young person's Liberace a few times, until the Program Director told me 
he didn’t think anyone in our audience had ever heard of Liberace <g>.

Cheers,
Jim
