A liberal wastes time saying, well now, what ideas have you got?
Show them what to do, for God's sake.
If you don't, nothing will get done.
I can't stand people just hanging about.
Television is the most successful fascist, needless to say.
Rock stars are fascists too.
Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars.
Look at some of his films and see how he moved.
I think he was quite as good as Jagger.
It's astounding.

He was no politician.
He was a media artist himself.
So that was the rock star David Bowie interviewed in Playboy in September 1976.
And the big question, what's going on there?
Did he really mean it?
Was he playing a part, perhaps, as he loved to do in the 1970s, the decade of Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane?
And of course, the part he's playing here is the thin white duke who Bowie described as a very Aryan fascist type.
Or was he just completely off his head on coke and speed?
