Bowie was drawing influences from 1920s German cabaret figures.

He is being intelligent in terms of getting out of there safely and not drawing further heat. The woman he was with has now disclosed that they unnecessarily bashed the door of his room open, with the door hitting Bowie in the face, and hurling him across the room to hit his head on the opposite wall. Sounds like a bunch of goons out to attack and bring down a fancy rock star.

There are goons like this everywhere. Its a sad world we live in. But hey look, I think this scene for anyone who knows it and lands in a similar circumstance can find great inspiration from. David wasnt hurting anyone and was actually assaulted illeagly by the police, yet that didnt deter him from continuing what he loved best. He's very wise to keep his cool and that takes great restraint. All it teaches as well is that the establishment have crooks in as well who dont want to create an ideal peace filled world. But at least by their very own decisions they hurt themselves in the long run.

You can clearly see he's been treated badly. Describing the police as polite and courteous gentlemen was obviously a high expression of his super dry English ironic wit.

i understand the why behind his response but it’s wild because the woman he’d been arrested with just spoke out about it and the police officer hit him in the face with the door so hard he fell back and hit his head on the wall behind him.. even after that he remained so poised and kind. i miss him💔

Well, he's been well coached by his lawyers..

Shameless media leading in to get him to rag on the cops ...

I think hes really inspirational in this moment. He got completely battered and screwed over yet carried on leading a successful career

Forever the charmer.

All this cuz of a joint??

I can't even imagine being hounded with questions and constantly in the limelight, like all kids I wanted to be rich and famous, but I know myself, I would've screwed it up, money, drugs, alcohol, Bowie handled it very well through the years, not an easy thing to do.

What i miss before i as born....holy molly! Why gods like david bowie don t existing anymore! I feel like in heaven. he is a perfection gentleman i never seen! One word: flawless! In my place i only found snootyes biebers i hate to be a milenium person sometimes!

Class, class, class...

Funny he was arrested for marijuana given he was a massive cocaine addict at the time 😂 I mean I'm glad he got clean and I'm a fan through and through anyway I just think it's funny out of all the drugs to bust Bowie for they chose marijuana not cocaine.

Bowie looks badass here.

Starts at 0:30

Love it thanks !!

Wonderful work.

I hope Bowie got to enjoy a Genesee Cream Ale on draft after he was released.

It's mad because imagine the police being perfect gentlemen to someone in possession of weed and possibly coke in 1976.....that wasn't a mega rich superstar. Shows the unfairness in society, although I'm sure bowie was very charming and helpful to them, still just shows.
