He did his best work while coked up. Station to Station, which allegedly he does not remember recording, is his peak IMO.

Well said, Hedi
I too am a 50 year old…. in our ‘youth’ (and just as in the current culture of ‘youths’ today,)there was a certain ‘fashion’ or prediliction for taking cocaine.
Times change of course, people don’t….. but just as in fashions of attire, so there is in particular drugs, which is usually exacerbated by ones’ environment of that era.
It’s no surprise that ‘creative’ people use cocaine: MANY have (Sigmund Freud being one) as it boosts the serotonin & dopamine levels in the brain. No wonder.

am in my 50s and i’ve known Ziggy stardust – Alias David Bowie in the early 80s and later… For sure, i still can’t distinguish between Mr Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan (Maybe u can help). nevertheless I can say this guy is a genius, like a rainbow, metamorphosing himself in different colours (Maybe Karma camaleon reminds u of something). So, it’s not strange that he got hooked, who else didn’t at that time? Mr. Dave Bowie is a real professional – and he knows when to start and when tyo stop, but getting the stuff at one time in one’s life can be for the records, and even more, for prestige. Good luck, guy!

Well i have in mind that David Bowie’s life has been a mirror to those who have in that path also and i hope whoever can read his life and who are still in the pit of his addiction may realize there’s still hope and a life so good without drugs. David Bowie’s life will be a concrete example for those who are and are not in that hell.

I thought I was going to read some interesting personal stories about all of the really stupid things that Bowie did on coke. The kind of stuff that scares you away form doing drugs. Instead I got a lame write up by someone who is obviously doesn’t know anything about David Bowie, or his music, or history, and some ads for some rehab center. Lame.

being under the yoke of addiction destroy’s one’s self. like David, drug addiction can strike anywhere, any place, anytime, and doesn’t care who you are. But there are institutions offering best services to treat this addiction like Vista bay rehab which serve people for the benefit of their health
