Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make

[(Anonymous)]

it's from when Bowie recruited Adrian Belew from Zappa's band:

what followed was like something out of a spy film. david and his assistant coco tried to rendezvous with me without letting anyone in on our little "secret". I suppose the idea was to avoid letting frank know I was being wooed away from his band. I was too dumb to notice. at one point, david, coco, and I stepped into the hotel elevator when no one was around. whispering, coco said, "we have a car out front. we'll meet you there in ten minutes." david wanted to take me to one of his favorite restaurants to discuss my future. he had lived in berlin for several years. so his driver set off with the three of us in the back madly chatting about songs we'd play and places we'd go.

we pulled up to a nice looking restaurant and walked in. at the table right in front of us sat frank and some of the band! the jig was up as they say. can you imagine? how many restaurants are there in berlin? so we invited ourselves to join them at their table. feeling slightly uncomfortable david tried to engage frank in friendly discourse. david said, "really enjoyed the show". frank shot back, "fuck you captain tom". "c'mon frank, we can be adults about this, can't we?" david replied. "fuck you captain tom." "no, really I'd like to talk." no matter what david tried, frank kept saying, "fuck you captain tom." so we left the restaurant. outside david said, "that went down rather well, didn't it?"

That episode seems quintessential Bowie vs. quintessential Zappa.

Ha, Zappa comes off as a rude dickhole.

Seriously, why shouldn't AB line something else up after his tour with Zappa was over? Frank was going to be off doing film editing for months anyhow.)
