    Ziggy was his more electric twin brother who was higher pitched and had a more skull faced looked, different ear shaped too. This brother, more handsome and lower toned and jazzy took over after that although he did perform sometimes during the ziggy era. Thats why this brother became jazzy all the way, he lied talking about changing characters but he did not after his twin "ziggy" brother left or died because this is personality and you can't change so much.

    Thank you for seeing the clip for what it is. Lots of incredibly ignorant comments posted here about Bowie's friends...Flo & Eddie had known him for about seven years already and had been on the bill as one of the opening acts for the two San Francisco Ziggy Stardust shows in 1972. At that point in time, they had already known Bowie for a couple of years through Rodney Bingenheimer. So many people here have not done their Bowie homework, such as Ms. Thomas above; I laughed hysterically when I read her comment. Volman and Kaylan were friends with Bowie from the time of his first appearance on the Los Angeles music scene, when Rodney dragged him around in a dress to all of the local Hollywood parties...with Ultra Violet in tow, as well. So all of these people are missing the point and don't understand the nuances of the clip: Bowie was "Happy Together" with his buds, obviously having a blast. Btw, they knew which questions not to ask and avoided them brilliantly.

    I am disgusted that so many people here have insulted Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan--Bowie was delighted to be chatting with them and having a great time, which is obvious to long-time fans. I doubt that any of the individuals here who posted potty-mouth comments knew the man personally, let alone well enough to accurately interpret his thoughts. In reality, they have projected their own ignorance of the interview onto this thread. Because haters will be haters...and intolerance abounds in the world of social media, where these same cowardly individuals sit in anonymity, constantly trying drag others down into their gutters with them; after all, misery loves company.

    Flo & Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan) knew Bowie almost as long as Rodney Bingenheimer did, so I seriously doubt that Bowie felt the same way as some of the people who have posted negative comments about this interview. He was having fun with old friends. These guys opened for him on the Ziggy Stardust tour at Winterland in San Francisco on October 27-28, 1972. They were DJs on KROQ in 1973, a full three years before Rodney landed his gig, but only stayed a year and then moved on; Mark Volman and Howard Kayland were also part of the original (Rodney Bingenheimer's) English Disco in-crowd, and there wouldn't have been an English Disco crowd at all without Bowie. These two guys have more memories and stories of Southern California's 60s and 70s music scene than most, and had a longer friendship with Bowie than most...

    if those are the m.o.i. thats cool. they were really awesome back ground musicians, with zappa an iconic front man. I lived through all that. I was born in '57 and my sister, 6 yrs older, had all the heaviest albums going on through the '60's, which was F.Z.& t.m.o.i.'s time of prominence, and yes they were definately part of the change. Its impossible for anyone to know what it was like to live through that time period without being there. First, technology was so archaic that much of what we have today was only in comic books, and in the idealism of our aspirations, mankind had just invented the ability to go to the moon, the b&w tv, and an old manual phone attached to a wire was the highest tech. The electric guitar and elec amplification had just been invented. Music was rapidly changing massivley every week. From Sinatra, american folk and country, deep south acoustic blues, motown, and elvis, to electric: beatnik, english invasion, go-go, and surf guitar. Enter the influence of drugs into the rapid change, every week. Huge changes were happening to music that had never been done before, in many ways, no one to copy, and most of these people were inventing all this talent and style while they were still in their late teens. Thousands of hugely talented bands starting up everywhere, every day, coming and going reforming into mega bands, all within several massive years of the world changing forever, never to go back, many of these bands were so radical that they couldnt be shown in public in the "leave it to beaver" lifestyle of the era. Possibly the most change packed years on earth were from 1958 to 1968. From malt shops, drive in theaters and Elvis, to: the beatles, stones, Blue Cheer, jefferson airplane, Burden, Hendrix, Cream, Doors, Led Zep, etc., all on acid, all massive shock power, world changers. Enter lou Reed, Iggy pop, and Bowie and the emergence of hard core punk and drug induced, demented perversion, street and club life, after acid and the hippy era. Which brings us to one of the most iconic legendary vocalist/actor/performers in the history of humanity, the inimitable David Bowie and his great stories in this interview. He was so shockingly radical for his time that the establishment banned him and swept him under the carpet, and early on he wasnt widely known about by the uninformed non punk youth, aside from a few of his hits. But nothing could or would stop Bowie from becoming one of the greatest gods of rock in every genre he chose.

    Everyone here realizes flo and eddie were rock and roll innovators who at this point had already had a solo career, the turtles(happy together..etc) and were in Zappa’s Mothers of invention and worked with clapton. They weren’t interviewers. They were equal musicians discussing in depth nuances of the artists process.

I've watched a few interviews and Bowie seemed pleased with this one overall. thanks for posting this lovely vid
