"BIBA"
the book by Alwyn W. Turner!
Hi Angie, Hope you're
well and happy.
Just to let you know
The Biba Experience was published on 7 September. It's a beautiful book and I'm
sure will be a huge success. Biba's 40th birthday...Oh, my god!
If you get a chance
the writer, Alwyn W Turner, has a website
www.thebibaexperience.com
also the publisher has a website www.bibasback.com
you would find them interesting and very nostalgic!
Grays Antiques
Market are holding a Biba party in October, so I'll be off to London for that
event, have to dig out the faux leopardskin, I feel!
Hope things are cool
with you and you're enjoying your course work. I really take my pill box hat off
to you!
Take care.
Love, Michelle xx
Dear Alwyn, Hi! Michelle Coomber notified me today that your BIBA book is published. I will, of course, feature it heavily in my next web-site greeting, if you would like. Congratulations I am sure it was labor-intense though enjoyable! Regards, Angie
Dear Angie, Yes, I'd love it if you'd mention the book. I have to say that I'm very happy with how it's turned out - the production values are very impressive, and I'm hoping that it'll meet with the approval of those who care about Biba.
You've got the right
word. It has actually been the most enjoyable project I think I've ever worked
on. People had such happy memories and so many nice things to say about
the subject that it was a real pleasure. Speak soon, I hope.
Best wishes, Alwyn
And from Geri in Holland:
Here is a new resource
for transgendered people:
http://www.ifge.org/
Dear Angie, How are
you doing? Hope you are well. Are all your projects doing well?
Sorry that I've gone
quiet for so long, but I've been working virtually non stop lately ...
My book on asexuality
kept coming back from the publishers, because the demanded there should be more
information, and more stories on celebrities ...As if I had the power to
magically pull asexual celebrities from a black hat ...Oh well, I have done the
best I can on that issue I guess J
I've also done several different shows over the past few months. A special one for Discovery, even!! I will be featured on one of the episodes of the new series of "The Sex files"
I was quite intrigued by the story that Xaviera Hollander sent to you. I'm Jewish myself and following the rise in anti-Semitism in every country with wretched dread. In fact it is one of the issues in my new show. Is your daughter doing well? She looks so lovely on the pictures on your site. Iíve got to go here now. Hope that all is well with you and your family, Lots of love, Cheers, Geri
A romantic story,
Here's a picture for
you!
This beautiful young
lady fell in love with Arthur Kane from the New York Dolls just months before he
passed away from leukemia.
Lizzie and friend
Clement!
dear angie,
my name is lizzie, i'm
18, i'm french, i always wanted to send you a little something, because i think
you're fantastic!! and, oh so stunning!!
well, another 'groupie'
you may say (ho-ho), but well, something quite amazing (but sad in the end)
happened to me, recently, and i had to tell you.
i'm a massive
rock'n'roll, glam/rock fan myself and my latest musical 'crush' was the new york
dolls, i totally got into their music about a year ago, and well, through my
friend sedley lyons, i got arthur kane's email address (the dolls' bassist)
because she knew him
from a friend, i was thrilled!!
we emailed each other
for 6 months and as i've always been fascinated with rock'n'roll, rockstars and
always had a 'groupie' behaviour(i had moved from paris to london in between),
we decided to meet!!
we did meet 18th of
june this year at the afterparty, after his last ever concert. i totally fell in
love with him and him too as he asked me to be his wife 2 weeks later!!
he was in los angeles,
i was in london, but i thought, you love him, you're young, pretty, he's
wonderful, he's a new york doll and wants to marry you, i was thrilled, i was
meeting AMAZING people thanks to him.
he suddenly died of
leukemia 13th of july, 2 weeks after our engagement. my life suddenly stopped, i
know i'm young, i got back to some people and try to stay in touch with the band
and all, but all my dreams, angie, faded away.
i couldn't even go to
the funerals, cuz my passport isn't sorted yet, and it's really hard at the
moment, the man i loved died and so did my 'groupie career'.
i always totally loved
you, for being just so angie (said with french accent), for your beauty(and i
saw recent pictures, like WOW, you're absolutely beautiful.
You probably don't have
an account on www.livejournal.com, but i have, and lots of people do, and i
created a community called 'vintage groupies' (not that i considered you a one,
just had to find a smashing name) (link:
http://www.livejournal.com/community/vintagegroupies,
my friend mia made a
wonderful layout with the wonderful angie on it and everybody loves it.
i was wondering also
how was your today's life like, how was everything, because i just totally love
you and would be so pleased if you got back to me.
since arthur died, i'm
back in paris with my mom (for a bit, mom's are magical, aren't they?
But i'm usually always
in london, do you still live there!!
i send you all my love
and best wishes, plus my 70's rock'n'roll groupie picture with my glam rock
sunglasses on!!
heheh, what do you
think of the new generation angie??
tu es une etoile,
angie, tu as la beauté, la grace et je te doit tout!!
hope my english was
okay, i'm still learning. love & kisses, lizzie
Dear Lizzie,
Hi! Thank you for your
kind e mail and forgive the time it has taken for me to reply but the first two
weeks of college for this semester were at the same time and it has been
very busy!
What an interesting
situation happened to you!
I cannot believe the
story you told me about your engagement and its consequences when he died from
leukemia. I am so sorry. I am sure you would have enjoyed a wonderful time
together; but as you said you had the experience and I know it will arm you with
love and creativity to do something wonderful next in your sweet young life.
No, Lizzie, I no
longer live in Europe I am in Tucson, Arizona.
I will write you again
when I have visited your sites and have more to say! Kindest regards, Angie.
Music:
Jude Rawlins writes in
the SUBTERRANEANS NEWS:
And so the silence is
broken. Robin is repaired, and we turn again to the live thing, wherein the
music and people come together. Be a gathering.
Lots of talking, and
Carl's list-making genius comes into its own.
With songs aplenty and
a sweet chill for the fire of unknown origin that is performing, the guitars are
in tune and so are we. With the full ninety to thrill, we're going all the way,
new songs, old songs, indeed right back to the start. Some of your old
favourites, one in particular not aired since 1993, combined with the fierce
agenda of the new album. We are live and alive. It's going to get hot in 2005.
This is our sacred vow.
Let everything from
here on in be for the sake of love. Love of
music, love of volume,
love of art, love of caffeine, love of the
road, love of the
sights, smells and sounds. Love of greasy
breakfasts, love of
curries, love of the people we love.
Here we go, here we go. We ask nothing of you except that you turn up and let us do the rest. You know the drill; put on your comfy shoes and your dancing trousers, or put on your airs and clamp yourselves to the walls if you like, whatever tickles you. Play it cool if you must, just come and be part of. Let the light pour out of you, and into us. But, people, get ready.
"Love has no
other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and
must needs have desires, let these be your
desires: To melt and be
like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too
much tenderness.
To be wounded by your
own understanding of love, thus to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a
winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
To rest at noon hour
and meditate on love's ecstasy.
To return home at
eventide with gratitude, and then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your
heart and a song of praise on your lips."
from "The
Prophet" (1922) by Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese poet,
philosopher and artist
(1883-1931)
And from our own Franzie ( POETZ4PEACE & "plenty music-maker!"):
Greetings All-
This is a quick, short
version of PSM's News on the Net, the "Making History" edition. Last
night was one of the most amazing set of events in our 12 year history... The
following is an account of one of the greatest days, which will live in our
minds, for the next 12 years... and then some!
After a brief stop at the San Francisco Weekly's "Music Awards" event at Ruby Skye, which was a nice event for a big "industry" shindig... Thanks to Paul for getting us the tickets... IDC, PSM and Strong Foundation were well represented as Rocker-T, Stand Out Selector, and Ces-One, got to "Meet and Greet" with many big players in the SF Music Scene for about 2 hours. Many new contacts were made, and many more were "reconnected" after a few months, and even years lapse. The crew handed out 500 IDC flyers in a big "Guerrilla" style marketing campaign.
Then the evening got interesting, as the IDC, PSM and Strong Foundation crew were invited by Jay Seigan to attend a special show by the Teacher himself, KRS-One. As some of you may know, Rocker-T and KRS go back to the mid-1980's doing shows in New York's Thompkin's Square Park in New York City's lower east side, before both of them got signed to major label deals. The evening started with the full VIP treatment at Red Devil Lounge, where we got some very preferential standing room, and waited for the Godfather of Hip Hop to bless the mic.
Within 15 seconds of hitting the stage, KRS looked up to see his old spar Rocker-T (who has just finished voicing KRS, and himself, on "What is an MC", a brand new track for Rocker's upcoming "Urban Warrior of Peace" CD due out in mid-2005,) and gave him a half dozen "Name-Checks" on the mic... After a 40 minute burst from the "Blastmaster" in which everyone in the place was blessed with tunes like; South Bronx, Love's Gonna Get You, and Sound of the Police, plus another 20 or so hits...
Rocker-T was ready to forward (as he had another event to attend), when out of the blue, KRS asked Rocker over the mic... "Are you gonna spit or what??" Well folks, Rocker-T, side by side with KRS-One, went into a 10 minute freestyle that had the entire "sold-out" crowd screaming for more. KRS asked the crowd if they had been down since 1986, and then proceeded to tell them how long Rocker-T had been down for... KRS then proceeded to livicate a song to Rocker while he was onstage alongside of him...
But the story does not even end here.... Rocker told KRS he had to leave, and KRS told Rocker... "Not Yet... Not Yet" and then had his DJs drop a late 80's Delroy Wilson version which Rocker sang and chatted on for another 5 minutes, with he and KRS trading freestyles which had almost the whole place lighting lighters and licking shots in the air... When Rocker broke into his final verse the 300 or so folks got floored. The "mini-set" ended with Rocker hugging his old friend, like they was back in 1986!!!
This was the first
time in over 15 years that Rocker-T and KRS-One have performed together. Indeed,
it was one of the most powerful and positive stageshows in San Francisco's
legendary musical history.

I thought it was
imperative that i'd let you know about the happenin's in Detroit.
Besides Murder, crime,
ignorance and the occasional music festival, it has been a breeding ground for
freshly inspired artists and philosophers alike.
Granted, it's all in
the rough, but I do believe there is a diamond amongst it.
Currently, some pals
and I have been putting together a piece surrounded by the surname of
"Perfect Weiners and Butts."
We currently have
performed our first piece, "AHOMOSAYSWHAT?", which was recently
displayed at the Detroit Artists Market. A 20 Min. musical comedy is the best
way to sum it up. Our upcoming musical/band venue will be known as
"Neon Nightschool," which is an ever expanding work in progress.
My question being, what
do you think people want to see these days and what do they NOT want to see.
General, but if you have an idea, I would love to know.
Sincerely, Antoine Sir
Neglejai Frazzini
Dear Antoine Sir
Neglejai Frazzini,
Thank you for your e
mail!
What do I think people
want to see these days?
It sounds as though you
know what people want to see because you are out there performing....I think
from what I have gleaned at college from the younger students...maybe some of
the lessons that we thought we had taught, need to be taught again.
How much compassion is
there towards alternative lifestyles?
How much understanding
is there between different religions and races?
One of the great
lessons that came from being at school in Switzerkand was not only 57
nationalities at the school and 23 religions but also the proximity to the
United Nations which was in Geneva. The UNICEF branch of the UN had an
international singing group of 150 nations; they sang at all the schools in
Switzerland and there were many of them.
I think the most
effective dramatic and comic use of your time is to impress the importance of
tolerance; tolerance is a great dramatic ploy. It allows us to use caricatures
of intolerance to play against. You have an everyman situation or everywoman and
that is great entertainment when the naif or the inocent has to endure the
rigors and adventures of life.
I hope I said something
helpful!
Love Angie
Dear Angie, How
are You? I just visited Your website. Is it really true that You are going to
school again and learn algebra? I could hardly believe my eyes (I hated algebra
at school, even the whole math-thing).
There was a programme
about Cypriot food on television, while I wrote this email, and I checked the
recipes on You website again, after I've seen it. But there was nothing new
since my last visit. What's about an update? I really like to read more about
Cypriot food! Cheers
Kim
Dear Kim,
Algebra yes! Plenty of
bizarre subjects to complete an American Liberal Arts degree in journalism. Will
have to do a master's as well but whatever it takes to get POP.SEX published and
in front of an audience!

BACKSTAGE PASSES
Dear Angie,
I've just read your
'Backstage Passes' book which I thought was amazing. It made me sad and happpy,
but mainly it was just a fucking wild story.
I'm a blues musician
from Liverpool, England signed to a cool label in Glasgow. www.stratariotrecords.com
. I'm hoping to have a big party at an art gallery in Liverpool, with lots
of bands and you as the guest of honour! Do
you fancy it? Failing
that I'll send you a Cd with free kazoo. All
the best, Dom Newton
Dear Dom thank you
for your kind letter. Delighted that you enjoyed 'Backstage Passes.'
I so appreciate being
asked to your record release party but distance and college committments
preclude my attending! I no longer live in Europe but in Arizona, the Wild West!
Best of luck with the
album, love Angie
Dear Angie,
Hello how are you?My
name is Marc and I have to tell you how much I admire you.I think it's great you
were married to David Bowie he is my all time idol I can
not get enough of him.I
want to say thanks because you were the one to help David on his way to the top.
I think you are so very intersting and intelligent and
think your a great
person for being with David and helping him along the way.I'am only 14 years old
and absolutely love David.He is such a great inspiration
to me a long with
yourself.His music and life just amazes me and I don't go a day without
listening to him.I had a question though.Do you talk to David at
all today or see him
ever or keep in touch at all?
Thanks so much
Angie!!! I would be honored to get a reply from you.I would appreciate it more
than you'll ever know.Take care of yourself always!! Sincerely,
Marc
Dear Marc,
Thank you for your e
mail.
No, David does not keep
in touch with me.
According to his most
recently sanctioned television biography show on A&E I was a decorative
touch until I went crazy! I may have been a trifle irritated at being forced out
of the company-MAINMAN which I conceived to manage David. All the people we
hired fell into line with Tony Defries and David to oust me in the most
economical way for David's interests. That did not succeed; instead David cut
Tony Defries and MAINMAN loose.
But as the years
went by and David relieved himself of Defries and other advisors the plot to
alienate me was devised. His final choice was the "I didn't even know she
existed" ploy that was sold to the A&E television producers.
I had to consult ACLU
lawyers and consider suing. Powerful people have problems with anyone who
witnessed their lives; especially if it conflicts with the rewritten version
which they choose to bequeathe to posterity.
I wrote a book about
this dilemma called "Backstage Passes."
I bet you didn't
expect such a complicated answer!!!!!
Love Angie
Ms. Bowie:
There's a used
bookstore on 16th Street in San Francisco. Every time I go in I discover a
fantastic book I never knew existed that screams 'buy me!!!!!!'. This time
it was Backstage Passes. Just what I needed: an insider's account of early
glam. Something superficial and rock and roll -- but well-written!
I loved the book. I adored it. We eat up any new information we can cull about Swinging 60's London & avant garde New York. Having been born in 1963, I have glamorized everything 60's and 70s. You have to bring a certain amount of familiarity with pop culture to the reading table with you to enjoy your book, to know who Viva Superstar was or who Twiggy or Diana Vreeland was. I don't think the book was superficial. Frankly, I see deep meaning in shallow subjects. And people have written about the 60s and 70s, but not from inside the coterie.
Your passage about the state of rock concerts and rock halls in the late 60s, with all the redolence and the 'highly individualized schedules' of the rock musicians before they showed up on the stage, should go down in history as the funniest diatribe against hippies ! I was in stitches. I love reading a smart, wry female writer and I always have! (Mary Mcarthy, Sylvia Plath, Zadie Smith). The 'brown rice with a hit of acid, and the blueberry preserves with mescaline made by Mary from Marin', hit the nail right on the head. (These Marys from Marin still exist, as you know). I love how you schooled me that YOU came up with the idea of having musicians tune up on stage beforehand so the first glimpse the audience has is the band in tune, in costume and ready. These were the details I loved, the nuts-and bolts instructions for the star-making machine!
I just want to thank you for a lovely, lovely escape; a memoir chockablock with juicy details from the past, but which give ideas for today's aspiring troubador. I especially liked your hindsight, and incorporating later knowledge to past events. You are good at explaining exactly what he was giving society in his outrageous behavior, in the beginning of the book and in the ending paragraphs. Most people in the States believe fashion, trends, popular music & attitudes are superficial, when in fact they are very important, they deserve to be analzed in an academic way.
All the bi-sexual, poly stuff was great, the anecdotes, etc. Unfortunately, I was in swaddling clothes during all this festivity, being born in 1963. I used to listen to Low and Hunky Dory a few years back. I loved Andy Warhol and 5 Years. Bowie is a poet.
I was sorry to read how your relationship went awry, but, you well document, you had some very extraordinary good times. The best parts are the early years, the making of the legend. That's where I am in my life. I like David Bowie's early recordings, even venerate it - but I had heard stories of his egomania. My friend Sari who used to go to Mudd Club went one night when all of mainstream Manhattan was at Madison Sq Garden to seethe Talking Heads. Lo and behold, there was David Bowie, her idol in the very room. She mustered the nerve to approach him and say how she had every single one of his albums. She said he acted so snottily and condescendingly that she went home an threw all his albums out. I think it was Oscar Wilde that said The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. And Bowie is a good artist. It's difficult to deal with run-of-the-mill folk, I suppose, why bother?
Anway, sorry for ranting on and on, but I just want to tell you I loved Backstage Passes. (I even got the title's double entendre).
SKINNY VINNY
PS I only have one critique of the book: It could have had loads more photos !!!!!!! And I donít know if people took color photos back then but I wish they had ! Good luck!
Dear Skiny Vinny,
Thank you for your kind
letter.
I thought you made some
interesting points:
I think we agree
that procedural details are useful for readers and other authors.
Different eye witness
accounts are history and when writers research subjects, supposedly they read
all of the memoirs and relevant material to illustrate their premise or revise
their opinion and to get a feeling for the times.
My experience was probably very different from other folk. I grew up abroad, in Cyprus (See CYPRUS ESSAYS.)
I was passionate
about having a chance to work; I was not allowed to work in Cyprus or England
because I am an American citizen.
I kept waiting; I knew
that if I could work, I could do something exciting and help change the world!!!
As we all expect to do
when we are 19, 20 and 21!
I agree with you
about the photographs. AND YES THEY HAD PLENTY OF COLOR PHOTOS IN THOSE TIMES,
YOU YOUNG SCALLYWAG!
But it's the licensing
fees that kill you: it was so expensive to use just the ones I included!
One would have to
assemble a picture book with captions; otherwise it would be too expensive to
print.
Anyway thank you for
taking the time to write to me!
Come back and visit!
Regards, Angie
Mark Bego was in
town on the way to his sister's wedding in Los Angeles. Best of luck to the
newly marrieds!
I don't think I even
took a photograph! We dashed out for breakfast; Mark picked me up at school!
CYPRUS
Comments:
Thank you so much for your Cyprus memories. My parents were both born and
raised there and I myself have been there numerous times. Although I can't
go back to my parents villages (both of them are occupied by the Turks) I love
the island and love to share my adventures with people who have yet to discover
this "paradise." Thanks for educating people on this remarkable
island. Andria
My pleasure Andria! Thank you for
reading the Cyprus Essays!
And my new
friend/contact Diana writes....
Dear Angie,
Thanks for your e-mail. Well done in
your courses.
When we are next in Karavostasi I will
endeavour to take some photos for you, but don't hold your breath as I'm not
actually planning on getting down that way very soon to be honest. But you never
know.
The Argentineans in Skouriotissa are
holding their next medal parade on 2nd September @1830 hrs. So if you want to
dance a tango with one of their experts here's your chance....or wait another
six months till the next one! Just let us know and an official invite will on
the way! Take care and all the best Diana
There was a very
interesting article in Sunday's Cyprus Mail newspaper about the sea turning
orange again at Xeros due to toxins leaking. Pollution turns the sea orange in

Angie, I`m gonna to say
this with all my heart, I admire you very much, you are a inspiration for me .I
think you are a talent and strong woman and I completly understand you...you
have the guts to tell the world who you are, just like I`m doing, I`m not famous
I`m just a hair stylest with 25 years old , from Brasil ( this dificul contry)...
Please answear this email, and send me news from you, and pictures... next time
I`ll send you mine, ok? I love you...kisses ...with a lot of respect
Carla Bonesso
Dear Carla, How much we
love you wonderful Brazilians!
Yes, I bet it is
difficult! We are all in the same boat. Our governments tell us what they want
us to hear and we all know better but we don't have the time economically to
become fully political if wer at continue to exist.
I enjoyed my Brazilian
friends at school in Switzerland and I think of them often.
You are inspiring in
your outlook and dedication to individuality. I watched a lovely movie from
Brazil about the lady who writes letters for people; she ends up baby-sitting
this adorable little boy who is either on a bus-trip or going to school, i don't
remeber that part.
I am sure you know what
the name of this movie is.
And I think of all my
Brazilian chums as I sit in my Spanish classes and wish I could learn
everybody's language in the length of my life so I could say hello and ask
people's names and what they like to do in every language!
Thank you for your kind
e mail and I look forward to hearing fom you again and all of your news!
There are photographs
on my site.
Kindest regards,
Angie
Good luck everyone,
Angie
