Gail Ann Dorsey is a great musician in her own right. Seen her perform with Bowie several times.
I've read a few books about Bowie. He was an intellectual guy, with some dodgy politics at times. He over-did the drugs for a good few years, but managed to get through it even if it may have shortened his life. Lemmy was a talented guy too in a more primal way. Some guys seem to feel they have to live the rock and roll lifestyle. He did well to live that long.
At one of the TV shows we went to we met a couple in the queue who went to the Outside tour mainly to see Morrisey. I think they booked for multiple shows, but then he pulled out of the tour. Morrisey is another one who seems to stay aloof from regular folk, but also has some dodgy politics. A friend of mine is a big fan, but has given up on seeing him live again due to some of the statements he comes out with.
