>Bowie comes across as being rather flippant and not giving a toss about much, perhaps it was the interviewer?

in that other recent interview on the BBC jazz program, he sounded different, in a way a bit shyer - not like that over-the-top attitude when he was interviewing for that art magazine!!! lol

i think it's interesting cos of the talk about costumes etc... i mean it was obviously short, maybe just emailed questions and he chose some?
