Backstage Passes

Life on the Wild Side with David Bowie

De: Angela Bowie, Mary A Jones

Narrado por: Angela Bowie

This the abridged audio version of Backstage Passses. Backstage Passes Audio came out originally in 1993 and won the Publisher's Weekly award for best audio biography.

One person knows David Bowie better than he knows himself--ex-wife Angela Bowie. For ten tempestuous years she traveled and lived with Bowie, overseeing his career, promoting his music, and launching him from in-crowd cult hero to rock superstar. Having outlasted the gag order that was part of their divorce settlement agreement, Angela produced this candid, scandalous, and uncompromising memoir. In Backstage Passes she recounts the jet-setting, hard-partying world they shared. Angela witnessed it all, and herein offers listeners and Bowie fans an uncensored look at their odyssey together, as well as the behind-the scenes lives, loves and excesses of rock legends like Mick Jagger, Elton John, Iggy Pop and Keith Moon. Listening to Backstage Passes is almost as good as having been there --- a tell-all that truly tells all --- a book as outspoken and bold as Angela Bowie herself.

Backstage Passes is in its 4th printing now and is a seminal Rock n' Roll History book.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Neither coy nor restrained...the former Mrs. David Bowie describes in no uncertain terms the torrid 'open marriage' she shared with the singer known as the Thin White Duke....This is the book to read for details about David Bowie in bed with Mick Jagger, for the sexual scoop on Rod Stewart, Lou Reed , Marianne Faithfull and numerous other performers....with its anecdotes and barbed remarks about music industry folk of the 1970s, this portrait is never dull." - Publishers Weekly
