I usually don’t agree with what I say very much. I’m an awful liar. Burroughs: I am too. Bowie: I’m not sure whether it’s me changing my mind, or whether I lie a lot. It’s somewhere between the two. I don’t exactly lie, I change my mind all the time. People are always throwing things at me that I’ve said and I say that I didn’t mean anything. You can’t stand still on one point your entire life. + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + Aside from Terry’s images, the colour shot is of the hand-coloured Wild Boys badge Bowie made.
