Today the BBC has published a list of "66 Facts about David Bowie." This of course coincides with his first new release since 2003.
Bowie has sold 140 million records and is one of the all-time most successful music acts. I have always thought that his best work was that with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Darryl Jones and Omar Hakkim - Let's Dance, China Girl etc.
For the benefit of the BBC and any David Bowie fans out there who like arcane information about their hero, I can offer a 67th fact:
I witnessed the man losing a cheeseburger-eating competition with an old friend of mine; the score was 7-4 and the contest took place in Beckenham...
The date? Ah! That's my secret.
Until the next time
