David Bowie’s "Bowie's Arizona Vision" , a one-page article in Circus Magazine , February 1, 1973.. West Coast by Jacob Atlas Bowie's Arizona Vision David Bowie: An apparition of gleaming towers led to a song about loveless humans. It was four o'clock in the morning on a railroad train headed for Phoenix, Arizona. Airplane-hater David Bowie, on his way to a gig, stared out of the window at the desolate, desert landscape when suddenly a set of gleaming metallic domes and towers loomed up in the distance. Quickly the vision coalesced in Bowie's mind of a city of surviving earthlings rearing its sterile magnificence on the face of a half-destroyed planet. As the train drew nearer, it revealed the grim sight of a nuclear testing station; but this only spurred David's imagination to further heights. By the time he arrived in Phoenix, Bowie had written "Drive-In Saturday," a cosmic rocker (destined to appear on his upcoming studio LP) about two humans in the desolate city of his vision who pore painfully over ancient videotapes of romance in a pathetic attempt to relearn the lost instinct of making love. Meanwhile, the subject of another Bowie composition, "Jean Genie" ("A small jean genie snuck into the city...") has been preening himself for his return to the limelight. Iggy Stooge has been changing hair colors every other day (from silver and green to silver and blue to silver and pink) while waiting for the new Bowie-produced Iggy LP to come out and while preparing a stage show that will probably involve even more stage paint and peculiarity than the mixture of silver body paint and blood Iggy used to finish his act two years ago

WEEKEND SOUTH BANK STUDIOS AS THE CAB pulls up outside London Weekends - South Bank studios, it's possible to see the David Bowie Travelling Cosmic Circus elegantly disembarking from a limo about 50 yards up the road. That fluffy scarlet head of hair lights up the grey South Bank as the fluorescent crocodile of exotic humanity ducks into a side entrance, not to be seen for some little while. In Studio 3, an organ and electric piano are set up, apparently unconnected to anything even vaguely resembling an amplifier. Floor managers, camera operators, and directors are milling about excitedly, and a token audience is lolling unconcernedly in their display racks. After what is apparently considered a decent interval, Georgie Fame appears behind the organ, Alan Price behind the piano.

David Bowie’s "Marc Bolan Fan Defends Bowie" , a one-page article in Record Mirror , February 24, 1973. in Mirrormail (February 3), Joyce and Angi claimed that David Bowie sings, Can't Drive Marc Bolan, instead of the printed words, in his record The Jean Genie. Personally, I am a great T. Rex/Marc Bolan fan, and keep my ears open for anything about them. I even played The Jean Genie on 33rpm and could still hear plainly that he sang "can't drive his module". My friend has all David Bowie's records, which I have listened to quite often, and none of them say anything about Marc. A short while ago there was a rumour that on his records Marc Bolan knocked David Bowie, but this was false. What are these two girls getting at?

David Bowie’s "Bowie Unfazed", a Diamond Dogs photo session article, January 30, 1974. Terry O'Neil says of that days session "I had shot the dog first and then a few frames of Bowie posing in his inimitable way - which was at ease but totally in control. Then I said, "What about trying one with you and the dog?" Just as I started shooting, the bloody dog leapt up into the air towards the camera. It was quite aggressive and I was a bit taken aback, but I kept thinking: "Thank God I'm using a wide-angle lens." David just sat there throughout. He was totally unfazed."

David Bowie’s "Dour-Faced Bowie", a one-page article in New Musical Express, February 9, 1974. THIS CANDID snaperoo shows dour-faced Bowie with equally unenthused Mike Garson during current sessions in Trident studios. Vile rumour has it that Bowie is finding the going difficult in the absence of Ronson-although two numbers, including one called "Big Brother," were reportedly completed on the first night of recording. Latest in mainman fashion has it that our lad is hanging out a lot with avant-garde novelist William Burroughs and taking French lessons. He'll shortly be going to New York to meet Mrs. B., who has been doing screen-tests in L.A., and hairdresser Freddie will take over their house in Cheyne Walk until they get back.
