Bowie

A 13-hour day at work. Ack. This fella kept me sane though. We're doing a Bowie season at work next month, and in the course of looking for film stills I came across this, and couldn't resist printing it out and blu-tacking it to the shelf by my desk. Has anyone ever looked cooler in a mugshot? I don't think so.

"Bowie was arrested in upstate New York in March 1976 on a felony pot possession charge. The Thin White Duke, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The above Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment." (thesmokinggun.com)
