Right?
Wow.
Right?
I backpedaled so fast.
I don't know how I got out of that one.
But I was like, what?
Maybe, but the crazy thing, and I'm actually just putting this together right now.
That day, we were recording a song for his guitar player, Reeves Gabriel's solo project.
And I was just called in because they didn't have a drummer.
And I was like, do you want to record a song with Bowie?
He said, absolutely.
Absolutely.
So I got there, we have that conversation.
He comes in, he's got this like big bag and he sits down on the floor and kind of cross-legged on the floor.
He starts pulling out all of these magazines and postcards and photos and he lays them out across the floor and he grabs a notebook and he had no lyrics.
And he just sort of sat and looked at all these things and he wrote this song.
It was called, I'm Nothing Without My Face.
And so he writes it out like this, and then it's time for him to do his vocal.
He goes into the vocal booth.
I swear to God, he has one take.
