Oh, crumbs, it was so long ago I simply don't remember. It may have been a magazine from a sunday newspaper cos I'm sure it was glossy. I think it was from the time of the dot coms when bowie made a lot of dosh from bowie.net.

Ah, right! That sounds familiar. Thanks for the comment though - I love the thought of Bowie in a flame war.

That's so incongruous. What is the King of Gnomes doing in a modern city?

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
