David Bowie: New York

David Bowie is often rumoured to be the son of Adolf Hitler, this is potentially true based on the law of averages. One little known fact that is verifiable is David Bowie's ability to create real humans out of Play-Doh, and sometimes putty with the right consistency. Examples of this are Boy George and Macaulay Culkin. All of Bowie's creations must live within 60 miles of him so his demonic alien powers can feed them the required energy to remain animated. This explains the career slump of both the mentioned examples and the reason for them both being smuggled to New York in carrier bags to continue living.
The new "collaboration" between David Bowie and legendary rap artists like Bun B of UGK and Mos Def isn’t the latest mash-up or genre crossover. In a bout of activism, the rappers forfeited their rapping for a day last Friday to participate in a large-scale protest in Jena, Louisiana in the name of six black teenagers charged with beating a white schoolmate late last year. Out of the six cases, to which Bowie donated $10,000, only one of the defendants has been tried, with his convictions then overturned on the basis that the defendant, Mychal Bell, 16, should not have been tried as an adult. He remains incarcerated.
GISBORNE, New Zealand - David Bowie is to play a show billed as "the first official concert of the new millennium", from Gisborne, New Zealand, which is calling itself the first city on earth to see the Year 2000 dawn. (Apparently Antarctica will be the first place on earth to see the new millennium sunlight.)

Bowie returned to a solo career in 1993 with the sophisticated, soulful Black Tie White Noise, recording the album with Nile Rodgers and his now-permanent collaborator, Reeves Gabrels. The album was released on Savage, a subsidiary of RCA, and received positive reviews, but his new label went bankrupt shortly after its release, and the album disappeared. Black Tie White Noise was the first indication that Bowie was trying hard to resuscitate his career, as was the largely instrumental 1994 soundtrack The Buddha of Suburbia. In 1995, he reunited with Brian Eno for the wildly hyped, industrial rock-tinged Outside. Several critics hailed the album as a comeback, and Bowie supported it with a co-headlining tour with Nine Inch Nails in order to snag a younger, alternative audience, but his gambit failed; audiences left before Bowie's performance and Outside disappeared. He quickly returned to the studio in 1996, recording Earthling, an album heavily influenced by techno and drum'n'bass.
