Bowie was the coolest dad
This interview with Bowie was conducted on Dutch television in 1996. Back then people weren’t afraid yet of having real conversations on television. Bowie, who seems very relaxed, talks about his fear of mental illness, his father and he talks with a girl in the audience who is so shy she somewhat clumsily tries to divert the attention directed at her back to Bowie again. It’s very endearing.
But the most touching moment I think is when he tells this extremely funny anecdote about his son, in about the thirteenth minute. It’s funny and it made me cry, it really did, because it shows what a cool yet normal dad Bowie was. (PB)
