Coke makes you more articulate and confident, if you're kind of intelligent it takes quite some time and quite the amount to make you seem like you don't got your head together. But then it can get pretty bad.
Yeah, well most politicians are smart, but if their not evil, then they will be weeded out by the system that is evil, you cant operate in this system and be a good person. Very sad indeed. But i think that can change...
He may be a little high, but he seems more anxious. Dick Cavett had a way of getting to the core of people, and Bowie knew that. He seems guarded, but ready to play the Cavett’s game. Bowie is still the coolest cat.
"Oh, Don't ask me about politics. What do I know? I'm a rock singer" Imagine if today's pop musicians had this level of self-awareness and humility. What a dude.
while he did not want to talk about politics in this interview, he certainly made sure to point out political & cultural topics like racism in other interviews. I don't know if he ever said anything political in the sense of "I don't like party XYZ", but he certainly stood up for what he believed was a good cause and I respect him for that
@@ZappsPotatoChips I think it's more about bravery than being educated. Bowie and others among the art world are a part of the avant-garde who have defined modern generations, away from the old outdated stagnate generations. They are leaders who are few and far apart until they find each other in an inner society that most of us have no access to, let alone know about or understand. Art moves society and it's usually the young who move things before they grow old and wise and become one of those hideous things called an adult. I have also begun to realize that there are a lot of phonies out there pretending to be true artist and movers. They have old stagnate ideas about being a part of the pop cultures. Instead of having to watch out for them, I say bring em in and play with them until they crack. Or change.
Reverend Marcus takes one to know one, right? i bet you like em a lot younger than Bowie did though......... Shut your holier-than-thou mouth. God sends Hate Mongerers to hell.... fyi. bring some sunscreen.
If you're not saved through Jesus, you're not going to heaven. This guy, although some talent, riches, and fame, obviously was not a saved, born-again person. What does it benefit to gain the world and lose your soul?

@ViaticalTree being "high" on cocainne makes you yammer on constantly, allowing no interruptions and being hyper active. Have done coke and been with people who were using he isn't high. He's got a bit of a buzz on, that's about it.
The same what Scarface had in his table by the end of the movie ! A huge mountain of colombian snow! He is so funny and honest that he doesnt care about the people watching this interview. So funny how he acts and who cares if he was on drugs. We can't judge! Everybody can do Whatever they wanna do!
It's a shame that we only get a "Bowie high on coke" out of this video and everything he says. His words are more than meaningful, and has a greater mind than most of the rockstars at the time, and he's so sensible. His answers are on point, come on, and he maintains the posture and he's funny. He just has so many ideas and he's anxious (an maybe on coke but who cares)
You're right. People simply don't care about things that really matter, people don't care about other people's feelings... They just care about the show.
It has to say he was high on coke for the title to discourage people from thinking about the things he mentions for themselves, black noise bomb, sectioning, socialism, politics. These tactics have been happening for years and now days more than ever..
As he grew older, he filled out, and became extremely dapper, handsome, more stable, grounded. But, always wonderfully bright and intellectual. An amazing wonderful human being.
I was thinking the same thing. Fast forward 10 years from this interview and David would have made a great James Bond. It's too bad I always felt he could have done more acting in movies. He was immensely talented in many ways

Most of his exes were models and actresses. He was a great musician, but he still had a dick and was only seen with slim, beautiful women. People trying to put Bowie on some higher plain than the rest of us is absurd.
@Dural Desgraçadão Virado na Cachaça maybe he did maybe he didnt. He's dead now so cant defend himself either way. Clearly sleeping with a minor is wrong, but none of us were there or know the situation or if its true. Lets leave it at that
Reminds me of that time in your teens when you're high on something and your parents are trying to have a conversation with you and you really really want to end it without seeming suspicious.
Coke or no coke he was a incredible human being, a true intellectual, dramatic, but subtle. The interviewer was annoying and whats with the questions??
@damselcausingdistress 81 thank you for explaining Cavett to the unknowing. Perhaps he does come across as (to use an old term!) square. But you'd never, never see any interviewer today allowing his/her guests the time to let them expand, speak fully. Today's interviewers don't realize the best "sound bites" will happen if the guest is comfortable ... Instead they INTERRUPT 50 million times and have the camera cut to their faces as often ... makes me roll my eyes 🙄
I love the way he looks in those days: skinny, androginous, white complexion, reddish hair. Like a high priced fashion model, a l'homme du jour, it-guy
How this man went to record something like Diamond Dogs and THEN Young Americans album still perplexes me in a sense that it just confirms to me his absolute genius.
One of the great things about David is that he never took himself too seriously, I ven never read an article were someone said he was pompous or rude in any manner. Man the world misses this guy
Celebrity Hub I read reports concerning opiate addicts that managed to reach a respectable age(75-85 yo) while staying pretty much intact. Without kicking that bad habit but avoiding overdose and needles, valuing hygiene etc. and caring about quality and constant purity of the substance, that is. As time goes by, substance and the host person develop a kind of symbiotic relationship(look at Iggy Pop for instance). Yet this reports are also about the exceptions from the rule, alas rather rare. The certain thing is: stimulants and polytox way of living won't let a person get old and stay sane at the same time.
Cocaine actually makes many people seem and feel quite intellectual. And we all know it's not allegedly. He admitted that at the time he was taking so much coke he didn't remember most of those years.
@@RoganHacharASmith yeah good coke doesn’t make you to a total dumbass, that’s the punched sht or speed. People don’t understand what good coke makes with people
I do not see anything wrong with him. He is just being himself. A very fine musician. I seen him in concert numerous times. At the philadelphia spectrum
@@unique2dou964 pretty much alcohol is the only drug that's obvious, I used to work at a rehab and would admit clients all the time whod tell me theyd just shot up or ingested or smoked the last of their drugs before they got there, only one guy on meth was obvious, the rest Id neverve known they were on anything and most of them were on heroin. The alcohol cases tho we usually had to send em to the ER until they sobered up cause they couldnt walk or talk.
This interview is amazing! The interviewer is so genuine, cool, laid back, and Bowie is naturally astonishing to watch. I love the random off the cuff questions and banter. It's not awkward, there's no jabs or ulterior motives. It's fabulous. We need more like this.
@@cattycorner8 Dick Cavett’s interview style is a totally lost art. Regardless if it’s late-night tv or the so called “respected news journalism” programs. Forever gone.
The host is a great interviewer. It seems like Bowie didn't like doing interviews, but the host won him over a bit with his genuine interest in Bowie. Really though, aren't we all fascinated by Bowie?
5:20 What do you think about this part though ? The interviewer clearly says “you got no mission” Bowie saying no and tries to speak again and the interviewer is clearly cutting him off and telling him “yes” like yes you don’t have no mission and look and bowie face clearly upset and disrespected but continues like a gentleman
Idc what anybody (negatively) says or thinks about David Bowie. He was an icon,musical genius, eccentric, n mesmerizing. Love him, always have, always will. Rip
Shortly after this interview, Bowie recognized that it had become a problem and took action! Gotta give him credit for that! Escaped the craziness of LA and relocated to Berlin in 1977 to get clean and record some of the most innovative and memorable music of his career!
Back when celebrities wernt boring copies of each other. People today focus on the "right thing to say" so they don't get 'cancelled'. It's damning to see how dumbed down we are now
Bowie was a gift to the world. No one cares much if he did coke or not, his art was precious. The war on drugs is an unjust effort that destroys people needlessly.
Drugs destroy people needlessly. Lots of people want to get off of them. They are destroiing America, the destruction of which would be a loss to the world, in many respects, at least!
@@shannondavidson1886 People think he said meaningful things. He disapproved of the use of violence, in this interview. I think some people like their meaning to come with entertainment. I personally don't like his bisexuality, because I like things to be natural.
@@super266 You said “poor David” like he’s about to crumble. Most of the public interviews tell the person being interviewed what questions they will be asking.
@@super266 I get anxiety attacks and did not see that but it was probably just nerves. He definitely doesn’t look high on coke as the title says. He seems young and silly yet sincere.
He made a big mistake abusing drugs abd and fortunately got his head out of his ass. You might want to try that too. Drug abuse is NEVER a good choice.
@@lrn_news9171 definitely more talkative. not sure articulate is the right word for when you’re geared. normally irritating and fucking jarring. he handles his sniff well, i respect it
@@vrsq0863 probably heavily depends on dose, quality, personal body chemistry, and how you administered it. sure if you rail a bunch you're going to be incoherent. what about taking high quality stuff pressed into a pill, at a reasonable dose and ate it? not saying he did that here but that pill would just act like a much stronger coffee. no crash either and lasts longer.
I always found it interesting to watch someone who fully understands that most people cant relate to them or even understand them... but still feel the need to share who they are regardless, there is a certain kind of grace and innocence in this notion that captivates me every time.
I’m a born again, Bible believing Christian. I fully understand that most people don’t relate to or understand me since the Lord Jesus Christ saved me. People hate me now, but I still feel the need to share who I am and a huge passion for the truth but most people react negatively to it. Would you find me interesting too?
@@stevenl1706 I would bet that the negative reaction you are experiencing is more due to the fact that most religiously zealous people tend to frame their faith as a "truth" rather than an opinion... In doing this you are immediately starting every conversation in conflict if the person you are talking to doesnt believe in everything you do. As far as interesting, I honestly dont think that you talking about your religion would be any different than anyone else talking about their religion... Listening to Mr Bowie on the other hand, its more like a once in a lifetime personality.
@@C.Double. yup, you don’t get it either. My point exactly. The Bible forewarned about this…the Lord Jesus Christ IS the Son of God, God manifest in the flesh. God dwelling in a human body among mankind. That’s not my opinion friend, it’s just the truth, not “a truth.” Please repent of your life of sin and turn to God in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ. Or you can reject it again and maybe tomorrow or even tonight, God kills you. Now you will die eternally in hell, when you could have been living eternally on earth and eventually in the new earth and new heaven with New Jerusalem coming down from heaven and will forever be on the earth. All the damned will have to eternally be in torment and seeing the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ) from the lake of fire. Please don’t go down that road.
@@stevenl1706 "yup, you don’t get it either" is the very reason why people respond to you in such a negative way. What else would you expect with such a confrontational and self superior approach? Its also incredibly arrogant to think that your interpretation of religion/god is the only way that it was intended to be received. Arrogance is the foundation of sin after all. Another issue that most people have with your type of "religious" is that you bring conflict to where it didnt exsist before, take this conversation for instance. Ask yourself why...
Articulate, intelligent and charismatic. 'High on coke'? I don't see it. I know he imbibed, heavily back in the day, but he seems on the top of his game, here. Cavett, on the other hand, has been better.
Only 2 high people here: me, on weed and whoever titled this video, on God knows what. David, there, he's been absolutely charming and humble in a very cool interview.
Getting high doesn't make you necessarily unbearable or retarded. Bowie was a smart guy and an eloquent communicator and that guy is still there despite whatever he was on. For all we know it may have ratcheted up those qualities in the moment.
High or sober as a judge, Bowie reveals some very sad personal history. Never knew his dad and not close to his mom. In fact, looks like his mom was ashamed. Had pill for a kid to swallow. And, while, he's a legend now, even in his early prime, he's a very lonely, insecure person that is looked at as a freak by "normal" society. Can't honestly decide if Dick Cavit (SP?) was being sincere or condescending. I hope he was sincere.
Erich L. Ruehs yeah I agree with pretty much everything you said. I've always been the "artsy weird one" in the family and basically am disowned by my mother and I would have trouble talking about that on national television. I think that Bowie was a functioning addict at this point in his life, I'm saying this from experience having been a long time drug user but now clean. I'm sure there were many times when I looked waaay more coked out than this. Anyway it's hard to discern his natural personality traits from whatever comes from "being high".
psychesoulinthehole no you idiot david bowie didn't dress like that wondering why he's a "freak", why would you assume that? it's other people's fault for thinking glamrock is trashy and hating him for no reason
@@Hellndegenerates what do you mean? Bowie has nothing to do with Epstein, please don’t put dirt on his name! He is one of the lovely people in the world and now he is with the star man in the sky. Bowie, where ever you are, I send you lots of love and many blessings 😊🌈❤️🌏💜🪐✨👽💙👽💙👽💙👽🙏🙏🙏

I know right. People saying hes calm and confident. He looks awkward nervous af lol
He reminds me of young Lady Diana. Same grace, shyness, sweet voice, sensitivity and intelligence. RIP to both.

Well if that's him on coke, he's more well spoken and intelligent than most people!

Hidden Emperor interviewer out of his depth.
Dramatic but subtle. Sounds like a cocaine high lol
@damselcausingdistress 81 thank you for explaining Cavett to the unknowing. Perhaps he does come across as (to use an old term!) square. But you'd never, never see any interviewer today allowing his/her guests the time to let them expand, speak fully. Today's interviewers don't realize the best "sound bites" will happen if the guest is comfortable ... Instead they INTERRUPT 50 million times and have the camera cut to their faces as often ... makes me roll my eyes 🙄

Well he is fidgeting alot.
Wonder why?
why he has the top of his cane to rub and squeeze lol

One of the great things about David is that he never took himself too seriously, I ven never read an article were someone said he was pompous or rude in any manner. Man the world misses this guy
God, he was so fucking cool.
tsr2 yeah, he shouldnt have died. All those druhs he did, how did he manage to die? He was so healthy! D:
That's because of he was able to display his personality very good.
Celebrity Hub every chemical huh?
Celebrity Hub I read reports concerning opiate addicts that managed to reach a respectable age(75-85 yo) while staying pretty much intact. Without kicking that bad habit but avoiding overdose and needles, valuing hygiene etc. and caring about quality and constant purity of the substance, that is. As time goes by, substance and the host person develop a kind of symbiotic relationship(look at Iggy Pop for instance). Yet this reports are also about the exceptions from the rule, alas rather rare. The certain thing is: stimulants and polytox way of living won't let a person get old and stay sane at the same time.
tsr2 and gray
Articulate, charismatic, charming, intelligent, polite & always interesting despite allegedly being high on drugs. Respect to him, he is sadly missed.
Cocaine actually makes many people seem and feel quite intellectual. And we all know it's not allegedly. He admitted that at the time he was taking so much coke he didn't remember most of those years.

I do not see anything wrong with him. He is just being himself. A very fine musician. I seen him in concert numerous times. At the philadelphia spectrum
It's a stupid title that baits people to watch it, he isn't high at all, and if he was on Coke you probably wouldn't be able to tell.
@@unique2dou964 pretty much alcohol is the only drug that's obvious, I used to work at a rehab and would admit clients all the time whod tell me theyd just shot up or ingested or smoked the last of their drugs before they got there, only one guy on meth was obvious, the rest Id neverve known they were on anything and most of them were on heroin. The alcohol cases tho we usually had to send em to the ER until they sobered up cause they couldnt walk or talk.

Yes, it struck me how gracious and polite he was. Not a conceited star condescending to give time and energy to an interviewer.

This interview is amazing! The interviewer is so genuine, cool, laid back, and Bowie is naturally astonishing to watch. I love the random off the cuff questions and banter. It's not awkward, there's no jabs or ulterior motives. It's fabulous. We need more like this.
Are you sure it’s not awkward
Sarah Moore Dick Cavett's interview of David Bowie is refreshing, isn't it?
I disagree personally, the host seems pretty fake and Mayb a little condescending to him and the audience
This is the Dick cavett show
@@cattycorner8 Dick Cavett’s interview style is a totally lost art. Regardless if it’s late-night tv or the so called “respected news journalism” programs. Forever gone.
The host is a great interviewer. It seems like Bowie didn't like doing interviews, but the host won him over a bit with his genuine interest in Bowie. Really though, aren't we all fascinated by Bowie?
Yep 👍
5:20 What do you think about this part though ? The interviewer clearly says “you got no mission” Bowie saying no and tries to speak again and the interviewer is clearly cutting him off and telling him “yes” like yes you don’t have no mission and look and bowie face clearly upset and disrespected but continues like a gentleman
Well actually the interviewer continues because it got silent but my thoughts are his a asshole
Idc what anybody (negatively) says or thinks about David Bowie. He was an icon,musical genius, eccentric, n mesmerizing. Love him, always have, always will. Rip
2:12 the way he looks at the camera and smiles, adorable
He looked like he was about to snort from a bullet and then saw the camera on and stopped.

Shortly after this interview, Bowie recognized that it had become a problem and took action! Gotta give him credit for that! Escaped the craziness of LA and relocated to Berlin in 1977 to get clean and record some of the most innovative and memorable music of his career!
"get clean in Berlin" 🤣
@@Teeveepicksures I thought the same thing! LOL
Any entertainer living in L.A. struggling to get clean from drugs should move out of L.A.
Me, I gotta get of this smack. Might head to Afghanistan
I think Bowie is quite sad here. Just a personal opinion.... One of the greats.
I completely agree. I almost cried at the end. He just seems so... weary.
He said that in VH1 storytellers that 1975. 1976, 1977 were the darkest years of his life.
spartacusvikinga Well yes, he was almost dead from drug overdose and the plathena of perosnal problems leading up to it.
spartacusvikinga I thought the same thing. The title of the video doesn't do the emotion justice
He probably was. Didn't he get a divorce around this time? And don't be sad, he got better.
I bet Coke back then was pure AF straight from Pablo or the other guys in Colombia
Lit
I grew up in Miami in the 1970's/80's and yes it was the real deal and I was just some teenager and not a rock god so I am sure Bowie had it too.
Bowie got his Coke from a dealer that got it from Merc. Pharmaceutical coke. 100% pure

Back when celebrities wernt boring copies of each other. People today focus on the "right thing to say" so they don't get 'cancelled'. It's damning to see how dumbed down we are now
Bowie was a gift to the world. No one cares much if he did coke or not, his art was precious. The war on drugs is an unjust effort that destroys people needlessly.
Drugs destroy people needlessly. Lots of people want to get off of them. They are destroiing America, the destruction of which would be a loss to the world, in many respects, at least!

he’s absolutely wired and still infinitely more classy, articulate and eloquent than most people.
Coke enhances brain performance, makes you momentarily more talkative and articulate.
@@lrn_news9171 definitely more talkative. not sure articulate is the right word for when you’re geared. normally irritating and fucking jarring. he handles his sniff well, i respect it
@@vrsq0863 probably heavily depends on dose, quality, personal body chemistry, and how you administered it. sure if you rail a bunch you're going to be incoherent.
what about taking high quality stuff pressed into a pill, at a reasonable dose and ate it? not saying he did that here but that pill would just act like a much stronger coffee. no crash either and lasts longer.
Didn't think he was coked out until 2:11 checking to make sure his nose is still there cuz it's probley numb as hell
I always found it interesting to watch someone who fully understands that most people cant relate to them or even understand them... but still feel the need to share who they are regardless, there is a certain kind of grace and innocence in this notion that captivates me every time.
Corey, that was so profound. Thank you for that 👆
I’m a born again, Bible believing Christian. I fully understand that most people don’t relate to or understand me since the Lord Jesus Christ saved me. People hate me now, but I still feel the need to share who I am and a huge passion for the truth but most people react negatively to it.
Would you find me interesting too?
@@stevenl1706 I would bet that the negative reaction you are experiencing is more due to the fact that most religiously zealous people tend to frame their faith as a "truth" rather than an opinion... In doing this you are immediately starting every conversation in conflict if the person you are talking to doesnt believe in everything you do.
As far as interesting, I honestly dont think that you talking about your religion would be any different than anyone else talking about their religion... Listening to Mr Bowie on the other hand, its more like a once in a lifetime personality.
@@C.Double. yup, you don’t get it either. My point exactly. The Bible forewarned about this…the Lord Jesus Christ IS the Son of God, God manifest in the flesh. God dwelling in a human body among mankind. That’s not my opinion friend, it’s just the truth, not “a truth.” Please repent of your life of sin and turn to God in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ. Or you can reject it again and maybe tomorrow or even tonight, God kills you. Now you will die eternally in hell, when you could have been living eternally on earth and eventually in the new earth and new heaven with New Jerusalem coming down from heaven and will forever be on the earth. All the damned will have to eternally be in torment and seeing the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ) from the lake of fire. Please don’t go down that road.
@@stevenl1706 "yup, you don’t get it either" is the very reason why people respond to you in such a negative way. What else would you expect with such a confrontational and self superior approach?
Its also incredibly arrogant to think that your interpretation of religion/god is the only way that it was intended to be received. Arrogance is the foundation of sin after all.
Another issue that most people have with your type of "religious" is that you bring conflict to where it didnt exsist before, take this conversation for instance.
Ask yourself why...

Bowie remained polite and lucid in this interview, even though he musta been completely spanielled. Cavett was a superb host.
Getting high doesn't make you necessarily unbearable or retarded. Bowie was a smart guy and an eloquent communicator and that guy is still there despite whatever he was on. For all we know it may have ratcheted up those qualities in the moment.
Cavett's interviewing style was very good indeed
Wonder how polite he was when visiting Epstein Island.
@@Hellndegenerates When did he do that
Testament to the individual. He's high on coke and still no display of animosity or rudeness. As real as ever high or not.
High or sober as a judge, Bowie reveals some very sad personal history. Never knew his dad and not close to his mom. In fact, looks like his mom was ashamed. Had pill for a kid to swallow. And, while, he's a legend now, even in his early prime, he's a very lonely, insecure person that is looked at as a freak by "normal" society. Can't honestly decide if Dick Cavit (SP?) was being sincere or condescending. I hope he was sincere.
Erich L. Ruehs yeah I agree with pretty much everything you said. I've always been the "artsy weird one" in the family and basically am disowned by my mother and I would have trouble talking about that on national television. I think that Bowie was a functioning addict at this point in his life, I'm saying this from experience having been a long time drug user but now clean. I'm sure there were many times when I looked waaay more coked out than this. Anyway it's hard to discern his natural personality traits from whatever comes from "being high".
Viewed as a "freak" by normal society, yet spends the time dressing/looking like this and wonders why?? I don't get it
psychesoulinthehole no you idiot david bowie didn't dress like that wondering why he's a "freak", why would you assume that? it's other people's fault for thinking glamrock is trashy and hating him for no reason
