Excellent David Bowie audio documentary tonight on BBC Radio 4 on the golden jubilee of Ziggy ~
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00187c6
Quite apart from the excellence of the documentary, and its signifcant archival items {which really deserved
alot more than 57 minutes...} and including a couple of contributor crossovers from Moz World {Tris Penna & Kris Needs}, there is a specific mention of Morrissey at
34m10s when Kris Needs mentions a letter to the first Bowie Fan Club from a Steven Morrissey of Manchester saying he was trying to write songs in his bedroom and David had given Him the confidence to do it. {Needs is a really interesting guy, who was there at the birth of Ziggy, was involved in that first Bowie club, ran the Mott the Hoople Fan Club, knew Moz via the New York Dolls Fan Club, etc etc}.
