Andrew Horn‘s ?non-fiction film?,
As I said in that earlier news piece, I’m sure everybody is aware of Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias‘ extraordinary contribution to David’s appearance on Saturday Night Live On December 19, 1979.
David performed three songs on the show: The Man Who Sold The World, Boys Keep Swinging (from which, the behind-the-scenes shot, above) and TVC15, which remain among the most bizarre television performances broadcast anywhere, ever.
I’ve not seen the DVD yet, so I’m not sure just how much of the SNL performance is represented…I have a nasty feeling it’s not very much at all. However, regardless of the Bowie content, if the little chap to David’s left in the screen grab below intrigued you during aforementioned performances to the point of wanting more, then
