A few facts about our beloved Bowie...-Born January 8, 1947 in Brixton, London as David Robert Jones to an Irish mother and English father-At age 15, was punched in the left eye by his friend, David Underwood, during a fight over a girl. Doctors operated but could not fully repair the damage, leaving his pupil permanently dilated. It appears brown to some people, but the iris is naturally blue. -Bowie's interest in music sparked at the age of nine when his father brought home a collection of American 45's, including Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Of listening to "Tutti Frutti," Bowie would later state, "I had heard God."-Chose "Bowie" for his stage name after the Alamo hero Jim Bowie and his famous Bowie knife.- In October 2004, Bowie was hit in his dilated left eye with a lollipop stick while performing in Oslo, Norway. Bowie reportedly stopped the concert and screamed, "You fucking wanker! You little fucker!" at the lollipop thrower. The concert resumed and Bowie later apologized for his harsh reaction. And a few images...
(Honestly, what could be better than David Bowie in The Labyrinth as the Goblin King...in spandex?? And oh, the hair...) 
(Or as Nikola Tesla in The Prestige? What a spectacular entrance)
Happy Birthday Bowie!
