Inspirational Bowie

"At 60 years old David Bowie remains one of music’s most influential,photographed, adored, imitated, admired and talked about artists of the post Beatles period. On Saturday January 6th, at 8pm on BBC Radio 2 Mark Radcliffe hears from performers who have been inspired by him and his music. Along with archive interviews with John Lennon, the programme features new interviews with: Debbie Harry, Marc Almond, Neil Hannon, Brett Anderson, Richard Hawley, Annie Lennox, Boy George, Moby, Ian cCulloch, Jarvis Cocker and Ricky Gervais." (Thanks to the Marc Almond email newsletter for this info - you know, Marc Almond of Soft Cell fame.. you know, you know, the single Tainted Love - which I signed up to in a moment of 'where the hell is he now' curiosity coupled with bemusement at the idea of a regular e update of a now very b-celeb, but which has now proved strangely informative)
