Experience a day in the life of berlin bowie
Los Angeles, 1976. David Bowie has a ******* addiction, an occult obsession, and his diet consists solely of milk. Having conquered the US, he’s a superstar, his latest album Station To Station is another classic, but his mind’s a mess (watch Cracked Actor for the full story). Recruiting his friend Iggy Pop, who is nursing his own drug problems in an LA mental hospital, they head to Berlin by boat, train and Hitler’s old limousine.
In autumn ’76, the Wall is still standing, Cabaret has just been released, and the two men set about carving out their own mark on the city. Essentially it’s an attempt by two of the world’s biggest lunatics to live a normal life. They move in together, buy bikes, shop, visit museums… and replace drugs with monumental drinking. Plus a few drugs (Bowie: “It turned out to be the heroin capital of Europe”). They also made the most groundbreaking music of their careers.
A New Career In A New Town was how Bowie put it on his first Berlin trilogy album Low. So, to put it in cheesier terms, here’s how to be a hero, just for one day… (It’s all your liver will be able to take.)
