Fame by David Bowie


David actually was in contract dispute during this time, and spent  time in New York with John Lennon, which led to a recording session where Bowie did a version of the Beatles "Across the Universe". David also was inspired by a guitar rift by Carlos Alomar, and a song title mentioned by John Lennon himself.
David  actually mimed to this single on the U.S. Soul Train.

Bowie said of fame.
"Fame itself, of course, doesn't really afford you anything more than a good seat in a restaurant. That must be pretty well known by now. I'm just amazed how fame is being posited as the be all and end all, and how many of these young kids who are being foisted on the public have been talked into this idea that anything necessary to be famous is all right. It's a sad state of affairs. However arrogant and ambitious I think we were in my generation, I think the idea was that if you do something really good, you'll become famous. The emphasis on fame itself is something new. Now it's, to be famous you should do what it takes, which is not the same thing at all. And it will leave many of them with this empty feeling. Then again, I don't know if it will, because I think a lot of them are genuinely quite satisfied. I know a couple of personalities over in England who are famous for being famous, basically."  Full Interview on Rocks Backpage.
