Bowie Is Still Courtney's Love

We’ll buy some mugs* and watch a band…

Courtney Taylor -Taylor of The Dandy Warhols has never made a secret of his love of all things Bowie. This mutual respect surfaced at last years’ Glastonbury Festival when David checked out The Dandy Warhols’ set, (recognise that familiar silhouette above?) while later that same day Courtney and Zia watched David’s set from the side of the stage. Standing with Courtney for part of that set, I can confirm that the lead Dandy was utterly transfixed.

This Month’s Mojo has what I presume is a recent quote (in an advert for a Dandy’s show here in London later this month) in which he admits that “Bowie’s a massive influence…He’s just the most.” Go here for more words of praise for our man from Courtney the double Taylor and his top ten of all time. Parents, please note that Courtney often uses fairly expressive language!

*Actually the mug to David’s left in the picture above was not bought by David, and while I am not ruling out the possibility that David may have purchased a mug at some point in his career, I am almost certain that he hasn’t been tempted to obtain one in recent years.
