“I dunno [where Bowie was the night of the Mick Ronson Memorial Concert], France I think…I dunno [if he should have been there]. It all depends on how you’ve been brought up. You could say, “Where was Morrissey?” But Morrissey’s a manic-depressive anyway and that would only make him worse, so I can understand why he never came. Maybe David had his reasons for not coming. I don’t know. Yeah, it’s a pisser. We had no control over that. I didn’t even think about it. He’s just gonna do what he’s gonna do.”
