    She is an infinitely fascinating woman. Although slightly abrasive, she brings to the table unabashed confidence, decisiveness, vision and a boldness to go after all she wants with linear ambition. While the list of adjectives could go on endlessly you can’t deny her her due respect for having the ability and the wherewithal to have survived such a complex and colorful life. She is truly compelling. It’s getting harder and harder to find people so unapologetically authentic. While the rough edges may be impossible to overlook I can’t help but feel a genuine connection to her. She has my respect, if for nothing else, that she has managed to transform her originality into a most intriguing art form.

      Angie was hugely popular with the Bromley crowd & many of David's early friends. She also got on with The Spiders & Tony Visconti. Things changed in LA, you were either in David's camp or Angie's. If you chose Angie you were out...forever! I don't think anyone really knew Bowie but Schwab probably came closer than anyone. She was rewarded for her loyalty following David's death. There'll never be a biography from the person who knew him better than any living soul.

    I've been a David Bowie fan since October 1972, have enjoyed his music and art tremendously throughout his career, and have learned much from him. He was my North Star and I love him to this day. That said, I know and have always known that no one is perfect. There's never been anyone who is and there never will be. As Carl Jung put it, we all have our shadow, our dark side, and that includes David. We all have our good and bad points, our strengths and weaknesses, our assets and deficits. But some people, very few, actually, people like David, have extraordinary talents, capacity and potential, whose positives FAR outweigh their negatives, who are, well, sort of magical, even. Frank Sinatra was the greatest singer of the 20th Century, a prolific artist, extraordinarily kind and generous, and who personally raised over a billion dollars for charity, and $1B was a helluva lot of money back then. But he was also capable of being extremely mean, highly temperamental and even violent. Human beings are complex and self-contradictory. We are, after all, human. And to err is human.
    Assuming that everything Angie says about David is true, that still doesn't diminish his standing with me for I never expected him to be perfect or thought of him as being perfect and infallible. Irrespective of his less-than-stellar traits and moments, David still did FAR more good in this world than bad. When he passed away, for months afterwards I read time and again people speaking of how he saved their lives when they were in their darkest hour, most often when they were in their teens, trying to figure out who they were, feeling like an outsider, ostracized, shunned, alone and rejected. But David reached out to them and told them to "give me your hands." He symbolized and represented acceptance and love, and self-acceptance and love of self. He said, in essence, "You're a good and worthwhile person, and should be who you are. Your individuality and differentness is what makes you special and unique. Accept who you are, love who you are, revel in who you are, for you are wonderful."
    David literally saved the lives of countless people over the course of many years. He was a guiding light, shedding light so others could see their path. He was a force for good and affected culture in numerous positive ways, breaking down walls of prejudice for minority populations, promoting tolerance and acceptance, and oh yeah, almost forgot, creating a shit ton of great music, music that created and popularized new musical trends and territory. He was a great singer (OMG, that voice!) and entertainer, a talented musician and above all, one of the very greatest and most consistently good songwriters in the history of ever. He was smart, curious, well spoken, charming as could be, disarming, highly driven and ambitious, highly intelligent and exceedingly well read. He was a visionary, for he saw things coming down the road years before they arrived.
    David's entire life was about art. He lived and breathed art. He was art manifest. He even turned his death into art. David was amazing, astounding, astonishing, extraordinary, exceptional and phenomenal. He was utterly unique and had talent that was out-of-this-world and otherworldly. He was incredible. The things he accomplished were fantastic and awe-inspiring. David was, in a word, awesome. In another word, he was GOOD.
    Angie... not so much. She's mostly just bitter.

    Wow so well spoken Angie.
    Yes, definitely bitter and subjective, but nonetheless, Truth.
    As much as i and many adore DB,
    He definitely had a dark side and narcissism that went with him even in his older years where he was realizing his mere mortality but softening a bit maybe even attaining some humility?
    I think hearing her speak reminds me of so many just ordinary women out there, including my own mother who was married to a womanizer and putting notches in his bedpost, my father, but nevertheless with whole hearted devotion, continued to stand by him ,helping launch his business, teaching him everything he needed to be successful raising us children,taking all the infidelities,unappreciated, and worse yet being discarded as if he never knew her.
    No thank you for the years, for the undying support, the leg up, they’re beautiful love child, and Just plain LOVE. ....... Angie in the end your better off without him and to know there were many others hurt by him I’m sure, but sadly in the end game he had to face himself and it seemed as though he had a lot of regrets and a do over even though he tried to look happy he had a sadness that showed through if you look closely enough. I pray you will come to a true forgiveness and you will find peace and rest. But I admire your articulate descriptions of the life we never would really be privy to in light of all that blind adulation. Thanks for bringing us all back down to earth!✨. 🕊God Bless🕊

      Her name is Angela Barnett. [ why Bowie ? ] And obviously, no close listening needed, she’s the narcissist, very much so. She’s not a free spirit She’s a very unhealthy spirit.It’s the same story over and over again. Bringing everyone and everything down to uplift herself. What she really means to say : David would be nowhere without me.. He owes it all to me, it was me ME ! Bowie [ the real 1 ] didn’t talk that much about his private life as his ex wife did. He revered to her sometimes as his biggest mistake. After Bowie died we learnt that David Jones was a much bigger man than Bowie. Bowie was just 1 aspect of David Jones. More and more stories came to the surface about his warmth, his caring for others, his fatherhood, his knowledge, the art collector, his wisdom, his devotion to his wife Iman for who he would give up his Bowie career instantly. His wife [ for 24yrs!] who wrote 2 yrs after his passing : “I only miss you when I’m breathing” . With his passing it became clear how much loved he is by so many people. We’re talking about millions of people worldwide. Artist are often egocentric when young, they have to, to create. With Bowie much more love came back than the egocentric part of him put in. When Corine Shwabb started her extraordinary life as Bowie his PA , Bowie/Jones did what narcistic abusers hate the most : He cut her out. He went on with his life without her, he had no choice , and stopped all communication with her and so did their son. This woman does not deserve any platform or channel just because 100yrs ago she was his wife for a few years [ by mistake ] and stole his name. Narcistic abusers are often strong with words, verbal abusers, to hide who they really are.

      I believe he might have indeed snapped, especially if he was driven out of his mind by the not-so-nice Angie, but I don't believe he could have succeeded in doing any damage. David was extremely thin at that time, he was literally starving himself and you can see from the videos of the age that his movement was not exactly coordinated. He was shaking and stumbling. Angie, on the other hand, was always a sturdy lady, almost as tall as David and certainly heavier and in a better physical condition. I find it hard to believe that she could not shake him off easily at that time (1975- beginning of 1976). And how come that the obviously smaller Coco was able to pull him off, but the huge Angie was helpless? There's something fishy here, Angie is not telling the whole truth... Maybe they were both violent and she is just playing the victim.

    Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, we uploaded an Eddie Van Halen tribute video. As fellow music lovers, we'd love if you'd check it out. It's on our channel. Don't be too tough on us :)
