I was a Dick Cavett watcher. I thought he was hip and cool and intellectual. He’d never make it in today’s late light three ring circus. Watch as he interviews a tweaky/edgy David Bowie. I thought it started a bit rough, and about to go south, but Dick manages to pull off an entertainingly funny interview as the two chat about hair color, photographer Diane Arbus, Angie and Zowie Bowie, Moon Unit Zappa, and “black noise”, a noise bomb weapon of mass destruction invented by the French…
The most poignant moment for me, was when David laughingly dismisses the idea of imagining himself a rock singer at the age of 60 or 70. — pjsf
