Dialogue

(Continued from page 28)

bide my time with it, and let it grow at its own pace.

RW: What factors caused the breakdown of the first incarnation

of Bewlay Bros.?

Bowie: Inexperience, on various people's parts. Again, it's the

sad old story of a little bit of fame causing people to lose their sense

of reality. certainly did. mean, when was Ziggy Stardust-and

had to be deflated;

was Ziggy Stardust-I believed it all the way.

had to have a lot of people put me down for a long time before

understood the reality of what the artist is and what the product is.

And think that applies to business as well. If somebody suddenly

has a gold mine put in their lap, after a few months they tend to

believe that they created the thing, which is always a shame. So it

was inexperience,

think. It certainly wasn't a lack of enthusiasm.

But enthusiasm doesn't always bring the dinner onto the table.

RW: Are you going to retain the name Bewlay Bros.?

Bowie: Well, the company was never formed, so I'm still deciding

what want to do ..

RW: But there was stationery printed up ..

Bowie: Oh yeah. Listen, there was stationery printed up and there

were houses bought, but it still doesn't mean there was a company.

Stationery to stationery. (laughter) I'd like to keep Bewlay Bros. very

much. I suppose it's a Bewlay Bros. Ltd. situation; starting off with a

clean breast of things and all that.

RW: Popular entertainers, like politicians, are often thought of as

isolated figures. Do you find that, in your position, the process by

which information is filtered to you ever tends to distort it into misinformation?

Bowie: Not that so much as no information. Which is even more

confounding than misinformation,

think. That's why I've reduced

my whole operation to about five of us, and think things are working

out okay. We're all very excited; we keep looking at each other and

saying, "It's still working, isn't it? You can do it from a hole in the

wall. What? You don't need offices or anything and it still works!

Good heavens!" And that's something that I'd never realized before.

You're supposed to have lots and lots of office space and people to

fill it and desks and telephones and different -colored telephones at

that. But no, you can do it with one telephone and a suitcase. And

it still works. So now there is no breakdown in communication,

because the person who's on the other end of the telephone, if it's

not one of the four, is me. So it's my memory that's at fault if there's

any misinformation.

RW: But as things stand now, the scope of what the organization

does is confined to an album and a tour. Eventually you'll have to

expand beyond that.

Bowie: It'll move at that speed for the time being. certainly don't

intend to rush into any great Howard Hughes -type ventures. Not until

at least June or July
