It's always amazed me how well Bowie came out of this drug phase of his life that lasted from around 1973 to 1977. You see him the Heroes video around 77 and he's put some weight back on and looks amazing. It's hard to believe he was into drugs on such a scale.
The sad thing is; every drug user thinks they can only be right and only function with the aid of drugs - the truth is they only function at 100% for the short duration when the drugs are taken (all other time is taken up by anxiety and expectation and the dismantling of everything between - nothing comes quicker nor brighter in real terms).
It's easy to see why they found each other and were so crazy about each other in the early days. And created Ziggy together. They looked so alike when they were young.
Yes, she's obviously still bitter, but now that Time has passed & had a chance to reveal a lot of secrets about certain eras, people and places, I feel she's telling truths. It may not be a convenient or flattering truth, but it's a documentation of what went on, what was carefully hidden. Thank you, Angie, for shedding some light on this enigma.
I love bowie but I myself have dealt with a coke user on my family and I get where Angie’s resentment and anger comes from, her story here seems very reasonable. It’s a hell of a drug and it makes me immensely happy that he could get sober and find love again
In my experience in the 80’s, there were two types of people when that drug was around. It made extremely nervous and I sweated to profusely. I took more showers than one could imagine. Most others became very sexual. This was generally women. That let to episodes of sexual pleasure that I could have never anticipated. I am so glad that I never see coke. Besides I am now wheelchair bound with an amputated left foot . But I have a lot of memories.
When David divorced Angie, he placed a 10 year gag order on her because he knew what she would do. The after that gag order expired, she was on almost every TV chat show telling that lie about finding David and Jagger in bed together. What Angie left out of that story is, there was a woman between them, Ava Cherry....Obviously she's batshitcrazy because even though David was wearing platform shoes, make up and dressing up he got custody of their son.
She didn't "stay at her post." After their son's birth he ran off to Greece with her boyfriend. She has plenty of reason to be angry with David, but she's not being very honest about herself.
She’s hardly batshit crazy. David Bowie admitted his addictions took her and many others down a hellhole. She has every right to talk about her life experiences. They belong to her, not him or any commenters who don’t want their bubble burst.
@@CJBroonie That's true --totally -- but we have the right to call her out when she's not being completely honest. She wasn't an innocent victim. She was an active collaborator.
I believe Bowie, Jimmy Page, Stevie Wonder and Pete Townshend are a few of the true geniuses of rock music. There are probably others but those are the ones I think of every time I hear the word genius in the context of rock musicians
@@mikeschwartz5059 I wish he would have lived longer so that we could see what his musical evolution might look like. I have no doubt he would have done things even more incredible than he did in his short career
@@samwarner2668 I've never heard any drummer I enjoy listening to more than him. I don't claim to know about technique or skill when it comes to drumming but I know what I like to hear and Bonham is like a magician. He made songs live and breathe. Jimmy Page was lucky to find him (and the other 2) and smart enough to let them have input and creative freedom in his band .
@Coogan I'm not throwing shade on bowie. He was one of the top musician/recording artists ever, along with Prince, but he was an interesting guy. The album Station to Station, supposedly he was on a diet of whole milk, cayenne peppers and cocaine, for like a year!... For some magikal purposes no less, and he himself said he had no recollection of making that entire album, lol... See? Interesting guy. I don't care about his banging jager, or anyone, lol... That's his personal life. I believe in people's right to privacy, anything nefarious they may be into, that's for the courts. If he did do anything "horrible", well that just puts him in with many of the people that the entire public actively vote into power every election. I'm just saying there was a lot about his life that the public was not aware of and the internet didn't exist back then so this book may have come out and went under ppl's noses, compared to Bowie's stardom, which had a huge public presence for years and touched millions upon millions of lives.
@@thegreatsiberianitchThe diet was raw green peppers and whole milk. In fact, my favourite scene in “Cracked Actor” was called “There’s a Fly in My milk”.
She thinks she's such an amazing writer, reading all dramatically like she's reading a picture book to a kindergarten class. I can already see why Bowie didn't want to be around her.
Ever been married to a drug addict? You might be a little more sympathetic and a little less prejudiced if you could empathise with the hell she went through.
I think she is a great writer, love her wit! I can see why David bowie married her..she' sounds like an interesting and fun and humorous woman ..Thanks Angie, I like your writing and narration.

Okey, ya sabemos que David tuvo su etapa de drogas, desenfreno sexual, paranoia etc,etc. Fue una estrella del rock no un burócrata. Lamentablemente, esos excesos ocurren en ese medio, peor aún si tuvo antecedentes de problemas psiquiatricos en su familia. Obviamente, ella fue un pilar al inicio de su carrera, creo que era ella la que tenía los pies sobre la tierra, la parte racional. Sin embargo, pienso que Angela siempre habló mucho de David, en vez de voltear la página y hacer hablar de ella por otra cosa que no fuese David Bowie. Me imagino que tuvo una vida después de él. No dudo que tenía talento y que fuese una mujer brillante, pero siento que ha vivido por procuración, a la sombra de un genio.
Me alegra saber que es de interés de muchas personas, incluídas las que hablamos español. Seguramente fue una etapa muy dura para ella, pero seguro el tiempo en que su amor empezó fue muy bello.
I often wonder what terrible crime Angie did to Bowie, that made him shun her for the rest of his life. Even if she was the brash , maybe uncouth woman he seems to have thought she was. He owed her so much. I have loved Bowie , as so many have, for the majority of my adult life. And nothing I think say or do could ever change that love. But I will never understand his total rejection of this woman, to whom he owes so much, and her son. who as far as we know follows his fathers path.
@@zackspaulding Yes. It's an aspect I really don't like. Especially when Mick Ronson went. It was a huge ego with no conscience and only the desire for success 😮
I think it might be his natural need to be something he's not. A posh, educated, Oxford graduate type. He so wanted to be a rich, posh and smart person he projected this onto Angie, considered a brash, uneducated Yankee in his space. In other words, he was a snob😅
How can she throw such a good, brilliant, genius and iconic man under the bus like this. It’s almost like there isn’t a connection. She sounds like she’s reading from a script and she tells it in a very superficial way like she’s never shared great, special and happy times with him. There’s no love or softness in her voice/tone at no point. Yes he suffered from a psychosis caused by his cocaine abuse, but she almost paints him out to be a freak who couldn’t take care of himself at all. That man was such a super great singer/songwriter/performer who created genius music, and that’s not possible if you’re in an ongoing psychosis like that. That doesn’t define him as an artist and a human being what so ever and she almost makes it sound like that. Tbh the very vast majority of iconic artists that’s made some of the best music in time has done drugs. Don’t misunderstand me I don’t condone it at all, but it’s had a major impact on how all that beautiful music has come to light. R.I.P. David Bowie, Rest In Peace. 🎶We can be heroes, just for one day🎶
genius music?...Bowie was way over-rated and a product of a lot of marketing hype..He perfomed for over 40 years and 9 out of 10 people can't even name 6 songs that he does..
@@RTTruth That’s your opinion. David Bowie was an icon. He is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Besides from singing he played 4 instruments. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. That should tell you something.
And yet you never heard David spilling the beans on her, the fact that he got custody of Duncan or Zowie as he was named at the time says a lot about what kind of person she was! But I suppose she’s had to make money somehow!
I liked Angie!Someone had to be there picking up the pieces of a drug out speed freak,someone he could trust .His wife whom he knew he could always rely on!Right on Angie,what balls you have!!!
This is a great listen,,,david's spiral into darkness of a coke fueled misery,i understand the feeling,being up too long,and believing that the devil was my friend,
Un GENIO que dice un verso en la canción 'Thursday's chill' Hijo del Jueves, 'Lucky old Sun is in my sky', que se puede traducir así: Suertudo viejo Sol 🌞 está en mi cielo 🎶, o bien, El viejo Sol 🌞 de la suerte está en mi cielo 🎶. Poesía con el Universo a su favor, a pesar de su debilidad humana, nunca dejó de ser y hacer arte, Dada su gracia, amado por generaciones, cuando vivo, ejemplo a seguir por su dedicación, su chispa mágica en el momento oportuno, por ejemplo Underpressure, uno piensa, como lo logró y cómo hizo para estar en colaboración con QUEEN, colaborar en la canción y que fuera luego un tributo. Muchas cosas en su vida parecen cuentos de hadas. Aunque también suponemos u observamos sus caídas, su timidez que logró disfrazar bellamente, sus separaciones, sus penas familiares, y finalmente logró superar muchos escollos y logró estar sobre todos.
When I saw the title of this video I though "Oh No she's gonna snitch" but thank god she had no clue about the places I love to hang out and visit. Even the Americans I know that come to these unspoken nooks and crannies don't mention them because they they want to preserve the space, privacy and serenity.... If you know you know 🤫
She made her entire career out of being a legendary star's disgruntled ex-wife. We can count on her to tell us truths, lies, or whatever else it is about David Bowie that might possibly pay her bills.
He turned his entire adult life into an ongoing performance art piece. While in that incredibly altered state for so long, he managed to reinvent what a rock star could be many times over. Yes, he would have been an absolute nightmare, but extraordinary nonetheless.
Not surprised she tried to cash in as a last ditch effort to grab at some fame by writing a dig book. Everyone knows Bowie had many struggles in the 70s, he's been upfront about it.
Funny how things are nowadays. Angela Bowie reports on this crazy time in Bowie’s life in an apparently straightforward manner. Bowie tends to talk in a similar way about this dark time in his life. But so many commentators here want to judge not Bowie, but Angela!! Strange. By the way, I’m not calling for judgement. I prefer understanding. But still, strange that Angela is the subject of summary judgements. MAGA people do the same thing in US politics. They don’t want to talk about Trump’s lunacy, but want to focus on everything else.
He might’ve been pretty difficult in midst of drug abuse, but she comes off highly stubborn and controlling. She’s definitely holding resentment and perhaps till she leaves her body
I don’t have the paper version in front of me at the moment so I can’t tell you the chapter, but it’s approximately 2 hours and 23 minutes into the audiobook version: ua-cam.com/video/YEfSUIXo3Ok/v-deo.html
🤦♂️acouple of words come to mind....a bitter woman scorned...🤷♂️we're all aware of his many escapades over the years and his multiple ever changing forms over the years and his alter Ego Ziggy, I'll admit some of his music was too far out for me, but I do love alot of his music..he was a master of craft weither on drugs or not, and one of kind.. you'll never hear another voice like his again, it was sometimes strange and haunting just unique....makes you wonder why his wife would go into such detail about her and her late husband's business?? I imagine being married to a superstar like Dave, wouldn't have been easy for a wife over the years...you obviously feel like you got the short end of the stick lady N that's sad...but you've got to move on...you could have cut your losses years ago...in my country of new Zealand for the most part, there is an unspoken rule that you do not speak ill of the dead.....even if you didn't see eye to eye with eachother in life...RIP DAVID! You were truly an amazing artist, original and sometimes different...
Agree with you but correction, this woman is his EX-wife, they were divorced in 1980. He married his 2nd wife model Iman, in the early 1990s and was with her until he died.
@@kristinaveirum The only one ranting here is you. There is no connection at all between your idolising Bowie and him being a good man. His ex-wife has every right to reveal what he was really like. He paid her a pittance for their divorce - a result of his promiscuity- and also alienated his own son from his mother. Wake up and smell the roses, and give it a rest, love!
David had multiple personalities in his head from illness that ran in the family. David is dead...let him rest. His demons are gone. Angie hates him and wants to speak of David as a monster. I think she is the monster!
No, he did not have multiple personalities from an illness from his family. He had multiple personalities because, he was scared of becoming a schizophrenic like some of his relatives. He tried his hardest to be someone else so it would never come to him. Which later on developed and got worse with the obsession of being someone else. Concluding, he never actually got the illness.
You just bought his lies - he invented the myth of family lunacy to make fools like you think he was more interesting and creative than he really was. Anyone with a genuine fear of madness - which Bowie repeatedly claimed he had- wouldn't mess with drugs the way he did. His brother was schizophrenic and eventually threw himself under a train. The Saintly Bowie didn't even bother to attend his funeral.
I’ve heard the book right through and David Bowie came on in recent years as a decent human being. Who knows what he was like when he’d spent 10 years chasing success and the peculiarities when he got it, especially during his addiction to cocaine. Angie is very angry at David Bowie’s personality and who knows what he was like earlier on, especially in this period. She was very critical of Tony De Vries became manager but if she was involved earlier on in his career, she must take a share of responsibility for this.
The irony of her trying to dig at his delusions' lack of original creativity. She had some potential of her own but obviously no talents to make something of her own.
I could listen to this woman speak for days on end. She should be the voice of all audio books.
Angie helped make David famous a lot of his clothes and songs and stage antics were directed by her advice.
According to HER
David was brilliant! Angie was a Klingon
@@bryangandy6720 Not true. Other early musicians talk of her with interest and affection.
@@LG-dj9qr "early musicians" lived in the stoneage in caves.
seems legit. i think she ought to be credited much more strongly

I can NOT believe he can sing that well that far into cocaine. I've been there... amazing.
Coke and milk can go far together.
As talented and gifted as Bowie was. Being married to him would of been a nightmare. Dude was a cocaine vampire
But he beat it!
The sad thing is; every drug user thinks they can only be right and only function with the aid of drugs - the truth is they only function at 100% for the short duration when the drugs are taken (all other time is taken up by anxiety and expectation and the dismantling of everything between - nothing comes quicker nor brighter in real terms).
so true....
God, that was depressing. There's something to be said for living a simple life.
oh yes. Most may tell you that fame & money causes more problems, not less.
I thought it was fun. But you’re right about the simple life.
It's easy to see why they found each other and were so crazy about each other in the early days. And created Ziggy together. They looked so alike when they were young.

Excellent.

this is full of truth its only true because it is you dont often hear the raw truth but this is it
How do you know?
She made her entire career out of being a legendary star's disgruntled ex-wife. We can count on her to tell us truths, lies, or whatever else it is about David Bowie that might possibly pay her bills.
So Angie played Mamma. She didn't have to play Mamma. But he needed Mamma. And she agreed to enter that role.
Amazing vocabulary. Riveting storyteller.
i'm sold!
If it hadn't been for Angie God only knows what would have happened to David Bowie.
She's talking about his drug addicted day's
He turned his entire adult life into an ongoing performance art piece. While in that incredibly altered state for so long, he managed to reinvent what a rock star could be many times over. Yes, he would have been an absolute nightmare, but extraordinary nonetheless.
From coke to Coco.
this is pure 1976 david bowie

No one is completely up front about anything. I’m sure it’s plenty that David hasn’t been honest about.
This is beautiful and really fun. ⏳
But he made it out of the dope.✌️

He might’ve been pretty difficult in midst of drug abuse, but she comes off highly stubborn and controlling. She’s definitely holding resentment and perhaps till she leaves her body
Where is this at in the book?
I don’t have the paper version in front of me at the moment so I can’t tell you the chapter, but it’s approximately 2 hours and 23 minutes into the audiobook version:

Angie is a good writer. And may have saved the thin white dude.
Coco Schwab was the one who saved David from sinking further, not Angie.
🤦♂️acouple of words come to mind....a bitter woman scorned...🤷♂️we're all aware of his many escapades over the years and his multiple ever changing forms over the years and his alter Ego Ziggy, I'll admit some of his music was too far out for me, but I do love alot of his music..he was a master of craft weither on drugs or not, and one of kind.. you'll never hear another voice like his again, it was sometimes strange and haunting just unique....makes you wonder why his wife would go into such detail about her and her late husband's business?? I imagine being married to a superstar like Dave, wouldn't have been easy for a wife over the years...you obviously feel like you got the short end of the stick lady N that's sad...but you've got to move on...you could have cut your losses years ago...in my country of new Zealand for the most part, there is an unspoken rule that you do not speak ill of the dead.....even if you didn't see eye to eye with eachother in life...RIP DAVID! You were truly an amazing artist, original and sometimes different...
Agree with you but correction, this woman is his EX-wife, they were divorced in 1980. He married his 2nd wife model Iman, in the early 1990s and was with her until he died.
I totally agree! I just wrote a rant about how she makes him look/paints him 🤦🏽♀️ R.I.P. David Bowie.
@@kristinaveirum The only one ranting here is you. There is no connection at all between your idolising Bowie and him being a good man. His ex-wife has every right to reveal what he was really like. He paid her a pittance for their divorce - a result of his promiscuity- and also alienated his own son from his mother. Wake up and smell the roses, and give it a rest, love!
People that havent met him, knows for sure how he was.....kinda hillarious.
madness is mad
David had multiple personalities in his head from illness that ran in the family. David is dead...let him rest. His demons are gone. Angie hates him and wants to speak of David as a monster. I think she is the monster!
No, he did not have multiple personalities from an illness from his family. He had multiple personalities because, he was scared of becoming a schizophrenic like some of his relatives. He tried his hardest to be someone else so it would never come to him. Which later on developed and got worse with the obsession of being someone else. Concluding, he never actually got the illness.
Well Duncan too knows who the monster is
You just bought his lies - he invented the myth of family lunacy to make fools like you think he was more interesting and creative than he really was. Anyone with a genuine fear of madness - which Bowie repeatedly claimed he had- wouldn't mess with drugs the way he did. His brother was schizophrenic and eventually threw himself under a train. The Saintly Bowie didn't even bother to attend his funeral.
@@robertriordan1823 I am not a fool. I never met them so I can only surmise the truth. I would rather just enjoy his music.
Without her....no career end of.
cool.
What we used to call 'Strung Out'. 😄
I'm so glad he got away from Angela. He was a lovely man when he was with Ava Cherry.
SAUCY!!
I’ve heard the book right through and David Bowie came on in recent years as a decent human being. Who knows what he was like when he’d spent 10 years chasing success and the peculiarities when he got it, especially during his addiction to cocaine. Angie is very angry at David Bowie’s personality and who knows what he was like earlier on, especially in this period. She was very critical of Tony De Vries became manager but if she was involved earlier on in his career, she must take a share of responsibility for this.
I wonder if his heavy drug use lead to his early death later in life .
0:44 No, Angela, it wasn't "going to hell, literally." Hell. Is not. A literal. Place.
its badly fucked up but true
How do you know?
She cracks me up 😂
RIP.
She had some talent, but instead just became Bowie's professional bitter ex.
The irony of her trying to dig at his delusions' lack of original creativity. She had some potential of her own but obviously no talents to make something of her own.
Can someone translate in italian?
Hell hath no fury
Brave
Angie has always blamed Coco Schwab for the ending of their marriage
I have heard she was a manipulative and tough bitch
His long-term assistant
Coco Schwab...where does she live ???
@@JerichoMile4 i don’t know, in NY i presume
Bowie said that most of his acts were thought by his agent and he had no problem going along with it
Pues tú igual que,el pero el parece que pacto para una belleza imperecedera y tú en cambio....
I think in light of her repeated story about finding Bowie and Jagger in bed she should have renamed her book-Staged Back Passage.
Winnie Wallace.... I bet he had many regrets about his life . One would be being involved with the dreadful Angie I'm sure.
Hmm.
Hè was strange
Coke
Peter Gabriel has always and will always be just as creative and daring. Even more so, after all these years. Minus the drugs and hocus pocus.
without angela ,no david bowie the superstar........................
Why is she still called Bowie? It's worse than a groupie! He has lived for 50 years on the name of one of the greatest artists of all time!
and still no one knows her, or gives a shit... just a loud mouth publicity seeker despite no one being much interested..
Rest in peace joe rogan
What do you mean?
Why did this make me laugh so hard
I have to admit that hand was creepy do 😅
Angie was the best thing that ever happened to Bowie... I'm not surprised she out lived him...
