David Bowie Interviews with Lisa Robinson (Part 1)

A bit old news at the start, but it gets more engaging near the middle. There is a pause before each excerpt. Part 2: • David Bowie Interviews...
"In a two-part interview recorded over different days during Bowie's 1983 Serious Moonlight Tour, Lisa Robinson covers a lot of ground. The first part of the interview takes place in New York City, with the two discussing Bowie's new Let's Dance album and what it was like working with Nile Rodgers and touring with new musicians. However, the true gems of this first half are Bowie's more personal reflections on overcoming his shy personality on his way to becoming a rock star, the personas he had to create in order to reach that goal, and the demons he had to shed along the way."

Bowie was a genius. He is missed.

Nice to hear him say he was most happy with Diamond Dogs. I thought it was his masterpiece. Top of his game.

Lisa Says...!

[@mangasky7]

Does anyone know the source of the Dylan discussion starting 18:52? He'd obviously praised Bowie recently in an interview.
