TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN DAVID BOWIE’S 72ND BIRTHDAY. HE WAS BORN DAVID ROBERT JONES, BUT CHANGED HIS NAME IN 1966 TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH DAVY JONES OF THE MONKEES. IN AN INTERVIEW HE SAID THAT THE NAME ‘BOWIE’ COMES FROM THE BOWIE KNIFE, THAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR A WORD THAT STOOD FOR ‘’TRUISM, AND CUTTING THROUGH THE LIES AND ALL THAT.’
MAY HE REST IN PEACE, HERE’S CLASSIC BOWIE
