According to economist Evan Davies, who fronts the BBC's Dragons Den, the credit crunch is all David Bowie's fault.In the mid-90s, Bowie raised $50million selling 'Bowie Bonds', which entitled the buyer to a share of the royalties from the singer's back-catalogue. In return, Bowie collected future profits up-front.Davies said that the intiative, known as securitisation, was picked up by banks t...

Always seemed to me that with this song, Bowie really left the past behind. Sure, he shifted gears and styles with about every release even prior to this, but e was ever at the top of my playlist. After this, the appeal was, uh, gone.
