One of my memories that's come to the surface recently is that of David Bowie, a bizarre cult leader god of rock and roll from the 1970's. It took a little nudging to dislodge the memory however after I learned of David Bowie's 65th birthday and a recent cover story of him on Rolling Stone Magazine.

Turns out years later I've learned the truth about David Bowie. Though he was a very likable fellow with a nice personality, Bowie was all about Satanism, making it trendy and hip for the masses to consume after he had developed a massive cult-like following. This was not a good thing for young impressionable teenage minds such as my own to be exposed to. One thing was for sure, my Andy Williams fan mother didn't deal well with David Bowie's influence very well. One night back in 1976, I recall my mother ripping Bowie's drug induced stare poster off my bedroom wall, then throwing me to the ground and kicking me. Ouch!

"He became intrigued by Third Reich history and Nazi mythology. He had said years earlier in an interview, 'I believe very strongly in fascism.' In 1974 he told Playboy, 'Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars. Look at some of the films and see how he moved. I think he was quite as good as Jagger." - Cover Story Excerpt: David Bowie - Rolling Stone Magazine
