    Bowie had a huge impact in the 70s but Robert Llewellyn seems to forget here that he had by far his biggest commercial success with Let's Dance in 1983. I am a couple of years older than Duncan Jones and I remember that Bowie went from being seen as avant-garde and a little weird to being number one across the world, played on mainstream radio and his concert tour cancelled the small venues it had booked and booked stadiums instead. Although Bowie was 36 at the time he was a teen heartthrob and 14-year-old girls in my school (I was also 14 to be clear) were swooning over him. Duncan would have been around 12 at that time and so would have seen his father suddenly become the biggest artist in the world after Jackson, pretty much and definitely the biggest British star at that time.
    I'll love "Moon" by Duncan Jones and really expected him to become a huge director. Not that the isn't successful and Source Code is a great movie and did OK financially. I'm sure there's more to come.

    If I'm not mistaken, Duncan went to school at Wooster, a small, liberal arts college in Ohio. We pass it on our way from Columbus to Canton to visit family. I mention it because, while Wooster is a good school, it's not exactly the place you'd imagine David Bowie's kid would go. But after seeing this video, it kind of makes sense.

    I always loved David. It sounds like Duncan had a fantastic upbringing. But how did he get to the College of Wooster, a really great liberal arts college 50 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio? For a cat who lived in Japan, that's an odd choice - but a good one.

  • @EmilyGloeggler7984

    It’s a tragedy his parents didn’t stay together but Duncan still overcame that and is even more stable than both of his parents combined.

  • @KarmasAbutch
    @KarmasAbutch 4 года назад +5

    Yeah unusual, but very lucky. His Mum is a personality disordered piece of Hell... I can’t even look at her face online if she comes up by accident. I fully get why he went #nocontact took me 30 years to be able to do that with mine and this is why kids NEED Dad’s folks. This kid did not have an easy life.
    But an imperfect, supportive Dad with a heart in the right place, makes all the difference no matter what he does for work, even i f he can’t work. More Dads should be allowed to take custody if the birth mother is a pathological leech.
    When your Dad is shut out by the Mother and the legal system favours that, you have no basis for comparision when your Mother is unfit / abusive ... childhood is a hostage situation.
    Love that his Dad was in a position to fight for him and win, appreciate that he’ll talk about it. Doesn’t need to say why, and any adult who wishes they could find their own Dad, knows exactly why.
    My “psychotic birth canal” would go straight to jail now for what she did to me. But in 70’s England Dads werent allowed to have a say and a missing child in the company of a Mother wasn’t considered kidnapping.
    She changed my name, so I never knew my lost Dad and Grandparents had been looking for me for decades, until it was too late. She only took me b/c my Dads family started asking why I was terrified all the time and kept refusing to go back home after weekends.
    David Bowies work got me thru my child hood, but I respected him more as an adult for protecting his kid. Might be a drag having to be associated with ur Dad’s legacy all the time, but he’ll never have to know what shitstorms he could’ve avoided either. ✊
