As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie - a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist.

Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I’m referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.

If David Bowie wants, I'll put him in my phone book.

Bowie is less about trappings and more about the traps that seek to limit human potential.

As I always said: I fell in with David Jones. I did not fall in love with David Bowie.
