I literally collided with David Bowie on the streets of NYC. I stumbled to the ground. He helped me up. All I did was say….. “you’re David Bowie!” …..he nodded and asked if I was ok, I asked the same. We went on our way. I wasn’t even starstruck, more that I couldn’t believe it happened. Im sure I looked like a tool.
God bless David! He was a very Sweet Soul ❤! He came to Tahoe to see my little girl after she was involved in a fatal accident that she lived through. After his visit Danielle went around the world preforming her ballet career! What a beautiful person David was and what an amazing life my daughter has lived and she's an amazing Mama and an amazing ballet teacher ! ❤ RIP David! 🙏
My mother had Labyrinth on VHS, and she used to play it for me all the time. It was my favorite escape from my terrible childhood. RIP David Bowie, the one and only Goblin King Jareth.
David Bowie was my teenage yrs and I'm 63yrs old he's still on my favorite list. Love and peace always. Rip David Bowie 🕊️🤍🕯️ I had a class mate who looked like him dressed like him he was another him.
Of all the legends that have passed away recently, I only cried for David Bowie. I walked up to the now closed Loaded bar and had a drink in his honor and played his songs on their Jukebox. Dang, that was a sad night. I live near all these spots, nice video.
Thank goodness David Bowie realised he needed help and managed to get off the drugs and clean himself up, but he was definitely a man before his time. Such a brilliant, talented man ❤❤❤
What?! Omg...@Sebastian~ you met David? I always practiced what I would say if I met him in person. I was very close to the stage at the Chili Pepper because the venue held appx 1k? But there were probably about 12 or 1300 in there. Also in Mass...very close...I even had roses for him but I didn't make it. I didn't want to do anything stupid because we had been "partying" most of the day! Lol! He seems like he would just be so "down to earth" to talk to. I think he was probably the busiest man on the planet.
@@annamatlock1309 Ya. As I said above, I was an extra on the set of the Prestige, as they moved equipment around, my " extra wife" and I got stuck in a corner with him. He was so damn cool. It was one of those moments you become speechless.
Big Bowie fan here so I'm very jealous that you got to meet him haha. My uncle had tickets to go and see him in the 70s before he was a huge name, but he got drunk and never ended up going! If only I could invent a time machine lol
I always enjoy the extra trivia that Michael adds that doesnt even have to do with the title of the video. Don't go changing Michael. Happy Halloween 🎃
How could i never have not known this about Bowie? Love him❤️❤️❤️. You really do your homework!! Your the best!! Thank you for a very interesting vlog👊🫶
When you are awake for days on drugs you start seeing the shadow people.. I went to a party in that house in LA years ago. David's drawing was still on the wall, part of the wall I should say. I have adored David Bowie since the 70s and have been to many of his concerts. Miss him.
my mom send me a message when david passed...i started to cry because i know that my mother was crying...when i hear ashes to ashes i cry every time! beautiful tears...
Hey in Pomona they filmed Dr. Suess here in downtown Pomona and some of the buildings still have the paint when they filmed here. Same with the X Files they left a mural they had painted of the Mother Mary on the wall when they filmed here years ago.
My dad was the double of David Bowie, and with an English accent on top of that he was always getting approached by David Bowie fans asking for his autograph, especially when we went abroad for a holiday 😂 then David got his teeth fixed so for a short time there was a difference in their looks… Until my dad got dentures and then they looked alike again! I remember feeling like royalty when we were out and about because people used to point and stare and say “oh god look, there’s David Bowie and his daughter” 😂😂
@@prophetmargin7497 he didn’t do any work as a Bowie double, I don’t think it was even a thing back then. He was a decent, hard working coal miner… nothing fancy! But family holidays were always fun, especially over in America. One woman walked out of a store one day, looking at her hands and not paying attention to where she was going and walked right into my dad who was walking into the store and so he grabbed her to save her from falling on her tush. She looked up to thank him and screamed! My dad instinctively put his hands up in the kind of surrender position thinking he had grabbed her too hard or something and she said “Good God, I’ve just been hugged by David Bowie!!” My dad just smiled the kind of same closed mouthed half smile that he just did because it was just how he smiled, but it made him look even more like Bowie - so we all thought anyway - and said in his English accent that he hoped she was ok. She heard him speak and had to grab the rail of the trolley corral, we thought she might faint 😂 we didn’t laugh at the time of course but I often wondered if the lady often spoke about the time she was hugged by David Bowie outside a grotty little 7-eleven 😂😂 bless her
I fell in love with David Bowie when he played the handsome Goblin King Jareth in Labyrinth. When I learned of his death,my heart was crushed. Such a talented,wonderful man. I miss him still.
I’m a big Bowie fan and LA native, but had no idea that he lived in Beverly Hills for a while. I’d love to find out more about this house and that possessed pool! Thanks for this insightful video… Subscribed! 👨🏻🎤
I met Candy Clark from American Graffiti, at a gathering celebrating that film. She was David Bowie's leading lady in The Man Who Fell To Earth. We talked about that film, and she said David Bowie was very good to work with, and saw him as a real gentleman.
"It's the babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo, hoodoo, you doo!" I loved the musical numbers in The Labyrinth. His voice is absolutely amazing!
I love eclectic videos and I adore your channel. I have loved Bowie for 30 years and I still listen to him daily. Thank you for this so glad I found you here in his cold UK homeland.
I agree, I am a British American duel Citizen from Ashton-Under-Lynn England and followed David and Billy idol in music and David's acting career has always been top notch also. Unfortunately I can't say that to much about others, they were before their times.
A Rock God. No doubt about that. I went to an amazing exhibit of all his costumes and personal effects and just broke down crying. He was beyond artist to me
I love Google Maps. One of the Hollywood studios lots is now on its 3rd transformation. It's was cool to see the movie lot to be taken over by the car lot to be transformed into a mixed-use residential/shopping.
That's so cool, back to 60s look, just watched once upon a time in hollywood last night. Love Bowie, he's missed. I remember hearing story abt him seeing a demon in the pool! Thanx for your vids. 💜🌈🎶🌻✨🌙 Love + Light xx
He had been engaged in the occult (magick) at the time. Supposedly he saw a black horned bull like shadow at the bottom of the pool. He called on Angie to make sure he wasn't going nuts, and she saw it as well! They both freaked out! After that incident Bowie wore a small gold cross around his neck until the day he died.
Apparently Angie still says that there was a black mark in the pool that they could never get out from that very ceremony. She said that it remained there years after the house was sold.
Yep; and later they became good friends with that bull headed being; he was talented, that horned block; David called him Artist-Minotaur and had made an album with him together back in 90's. He also wrote song Beauty and The Beast about how much them two were irresistible together
Just discovered your channel....dude....well done. I'll be binge watching these for days lol. Thank you for all your hard work bringing us this content.
Station to station is a reference to the ten sphere's of the kabbalah. He dabbled in the occult. Love the 2 sphinx at the front for reminiscent of a photo shoot inspired by Crowley's old photos.
I always thought the Hollywood stars were in front of the Chinese theater. I've never been to LA so I didn't know this, you learn new things every day. I like your channel, very informative.
You should buy a drone with a video camera to get the pool image you want. I actually saw David Bowie in concert at Giant's Stadium during "Glass Spider" tour! A truly amazing concert!
I saw Bowie once in concert during his "Let's Dance" tour at the Toronto Exhibition......great show. R.I.P. When you mentioned Michael about how he became the character, I'd like to say, he became an extension of himself in another form
@@SuperMrdumm you're obviously just a young kid and these times were before you were born if you had any experience in life you would understand like the other 64 likes and bowie has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
There’s some pretty exiting music out there, Kokoroko, Chilly Gonzales, Lianne La Havas, Cory Henry, Tyler The Creator, just to name a few, didn’t mean to spark another generational debate, just sharing my perspective
What a legend. Loved his collab with Lennon on, "fame", and some others on that album..other then hardcore bowie fans, not alot of people know that's john singing with bowie. pretty cool little tidbit.
Loved this one! I enjoy all your content, but this one in particular was fantastic. I'm a huge Bowie fan......I even have "It's only forever, not long at all" tattooed on my arm.
I've been to the Roosevelt hotel. I could only be in the lobby area and other rooms downstairs. But it is amazing. I've always wanted to go up in the elevator and go up to where the rooms are. Because I know about the mirror with Marilyn Monroe's face in it. But also Montgomery Clift, his ghost is known to haunt The Roosevelt hotel. When he was getting ready to shoot a movie he stayed at The Roosevelt hotel and it was said that he would practice his bugle for the movie in the hotel hallways. People say to this day that they still hear his bugle play. I would love to go up there and experience that for myself
Hi Michael and Jessica. Cool blog. Who didn't love Bowie right? The property is bigger than it looks from the front. It looks so modest in front. The Roosevelt Hotel is on my bucket list too.
I wish their was video of the pool exorcism too I would have paid megabucks$$$ to see it I can only imagine. R.I.P David Bowie & thank you for the story Micheal. The way you told it was perfect. Gets me cracked up every time I watch this video. Keep up the good work guys.
Thank you guys for all your videos, I'm new to your channel. I like the way you guys create and document. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers!
I loved "A Man that fell to Earth"... What a crazy time for him!! such a great album too!! Strange how some the biggest songwriters/performers can break down at times... we are all human!! or not... ?
1:30 the concert scene in The Blues Brothers that you referenced here, was not at the end of the movie, it was actually much closer to the middle of the movie. At the end of this concert, Jake and Elwood sneaked out of the building through an open window backstage. This was the beginning of the very long Police chase scene. Elwood "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sun glasses" Jake "HIT IT!!!" The closing scene in the movie was the Blues Brothers playing another concert, in prison. 12:15 For situations like this where you cannot see something from ground level, you might want to look into getting a drone.
Well, I've learned more about one of my favorite singers and enjoyed the ride. I grew up loving his song "Golden Years" and still love it. If you ever get the chance, read "The Man Who Fell to Earth." I know there's been a remake of the film, but I can't read that story without envisioning Bowie as the protagonist. He'll always be the Man Who Fell to Earth.
It does not surprise me that David Bowie said his time in Los Angeles was the most miserable. After more than 46 years in Los Angeles, I am beyond ready to leave. There is so much wrong in this city and really county, that describing the evils here is impossible. One has to live here to truly understand. Thank you for posting this because I had no idea about that movie or his house.
@Azathoth I mean, there's alot of good things I've seen and experienced here, and met some really cool people that will always have a place in my heart. I just need to distance myself from some family. I can always rent my house out, if I ever want to return. I would be sad to leave CA, in a way, and might even start missing it somewhat.
@Azathoth I was born & raised in Queens, so that place is home to me- I'm guessing you're from CA, and that's cool... because that's your home. My boyfriend is born & raised here in CA, and it's his home. There are alot of good things and bad things about where we're each from that we may or may not be aware of. Not all of New York is bad, like what the image the media depicts. Hell, if you went with me to visit, you would have a frickin' blast! 😁
My Mom Met David In 1982. She was 24 years old. She met him in LA. She had just got his new song. Back then lets Dance. I was 2 years old back then. He was going to sing in LA that year.
We LOVE staying at the Franklin Roosevelt Hotel. Another fun thing there is that they have a “secret” speak easy on the second floor that most locals don’t even know about. It’s really pretty cool- very retro- with a full on bowling alley. On the weekends, people totally dress up- 1920’s clothes and very expensive outfits. Very, very difficult to get reservations there (unless you’re a hotel guest), but certainly worth trying! We’ve had such a blast going!!!
OMG, dude. These rock history videos are so awesome. This is all stuff that would never get recorded because it's such obscure information, the kind of stuff that gets mentioned at parties and incredibly cool to be recording it here for posterity. So much more entertaining than most of the garbage shown on cable tv.
I'd like to have seen the Elizabeth Short mural . Thanks you two for taking me to places I'll never get to see . Your channel rocks !! , keep up the great work and stay safe.
I watched your video yesterday, and I have to say-I’m a big fan of your work! Honestly, I should have subscribed ages ago. I first discovered your videos about three years ago when you did a recap on Kurt Cobain’s home in the Hollywood Hills. That video made me want to find the house myself, and I visited several times. It was completely locked up every time, but I eventually managed to explore the lower floor (not too exciting) and, thanks to some squatters who pried open wooden boards, the upper floor as well. It didn’t stay open for long, but at least I got to see the entire place! Even though I’m not a massive Kurt Cobain fan (and I deeply apologize for that), I can still appreciate that he was truly one of a kind. Now, back to David Bowie ( I am a big fan too) and the house on Doheny-you were so determined to see the swimming pool! Today, December 15th 2024, I went to the location myself, took some pictures, and sent up my drone to capture shots of the pool. You can technically see it on Google Maps, but my shots are the real deal. (I’m a licensed drone pilot.) There was a tarp covering the pool, though. Interestingly, there’s another pool nearby that belongs to a famous actor or director-I’m sure you’d know who I’m talking about. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to share a few of my drone photos with you, completely free of charge and with no strings attached. You deserve the support; your storytelling is phenomenal. You can find my email address on my TH-cam profile, so there’s no need to exchange anything else here. Keep up the amazing work-you’ve been at this for quite some time, and it’s clear you’re on the right track. Best. Fred

Good man
Only in NYC do people collide with celebrities. I ran into Steven Spielberg years ago outside of a restaurant
Least he's a nice guy😊
That made your life and he didn’t give a fuck about this moment so now face the fact that you also wanna be a a legend
Ah, that was Agent Jefferies.
David Bowie bought me a drink at the Cathouse, October 10th, 1989.
I saw the X-Pensive Winos at the Palladium in 1988.
I’m a year late. Tell me what happened after the drink?
same here 1988 hollywood palladium..25 dollars
God bless David! He was a very Sweet Soul ❤! He came to Tahoe to see my little girl after she was involved in a fatal accident that she lived through. After his visit Danielle went around the world preforming her ballet career! What a beautiful person David was and what an amazing life my daughter has lived and she's an amazing Mama and an amazing ballet teacher ! ❤ RIP David! 🙏
That's a nice story. How is your daughter doing? I hope no ill effects long term.
How did he know your girl and when you say Tahoe, you mean Lake Tahoe?
That’s a beautiful story Jackie, much love to you and your daughter and grandbabies ❤️

I got so lucky to me David when I was an extra on the movie "The Prestige" And got to see him in concert in the '80s. Great video as always!
I love that movie and love that he played Nikola Tesla that was awesome
What?! Omg...@Sebastian~ you met David? I always practiced what I would say if I met him in person.

You got to met him

The artwork on those windows at the Paladium were done by the famous Shepard Fairey!
Bowie was a terrific actor, imo. Love his music. A legend. ..... Lack of sleep will make you hallucinate.
Yep, wonderful as Andy Warhol.
Cocaine will make you hallucinate can confirm
Sweet dreams Starman, I still miss you everyday.
I always enjoy the extra trivia that Michael adds that doesnt even have to do with the title of the video. Don't go changing Michael. Happy Halloween 🎃
David bowie was such a talented artist ( musically and actor ). Another aweseom video.

How about now? Is he still with us? It makes me happy that he exists.
Such a cute story!!💕
You must have been mobbed everytime you were out in public with your dad! I'd be curious to know what type of work your dad did as a Bowie double?

There is alot of street art on buildings in Bristol UK. We,ve even got an original Banksy on a wall near College Green.

I just had a brilliant stroke of genius for an idea on your next adventure, Grimm. Can you do one for Verne troyer?rip mini me.
David Bowie,what a beautiful soul !
I seen Bowie in West Berlin, 1983 when I was stationed there in the Army. Was the Let's Dance tour. He had that white suit on and gave a great show🤗
I like the movie he made with Catherine D., "The Hunger.". He was quite good in that. He played a modern day vampire.
I love David Bowie! His song "This is not America" is one of my favorites! Thanks for the great video!
David Bowie still legendary!! Miss him!
Love the scenery and the palm trees, and of course David Bowie ...cool vid.
"It's the babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo, hoodoo, you doo!" I loved the musical numbers in The Labyrinth. His voice is absolutely amazing!
Do what?
Remind me of the babe.
@@conniecomeauxcormier3892 From the movie Labyrinth, he sang a song about the baby brother, of Jennifer Connelly's character.
One on my list...Roosevelt hotel and booking Marilyn's room where she lived for three months...yess
I love eclectic videos and I adore your channel. I have loved Bowie for 30 years and I still listen to him daily. Thank you for this so glad I found you here in his cold UK homeland.
"The Man Who Fell To Earth" was filmed just outside of Santa Fe New Mexico
David Bowie is my favourite singer. His voice is absolutely beautiful🥰
I agree, I am a British American duel Citizen from Ashton-Under-Lynn England and followed David and Billy idol in music and David's acting career has always been top notch also. Unfortunately I can't say that to much about others, they were before their times.
Yes mine too
I was looked at strange back in the day as I adored Bowie and Alice Cooper.
A Rock God. No doubt about that. I went to an amazing exhibit of all his costumes and personal effects and just broke down crying. He was beyond artist to me
If you Google 637 N. Doheny, BH, you can see a satellite shot of the pool (albeit, far away). The same white pickup truck is parked there.
I love Google Maps. One of the Hollywood studios lots is now on its 3rd transformation. It's was cool to see the movie lot to be taken over by the car lot to be transformed into a mixed-use residential/shopping.
Barely a bathtub size and filled in w concrete it looks like. Blasphemy!
Living that close to the main road with all that traffic would be a “nightmare house.”
Yes, I was surprised at how busy the road is.
Doheny is a quick North-South throughway to get from Bev Hills to West LA and Century City
Bowie was an artistic genius that lived the perfect life he was destined for 🙏🥂
The traffic noise would drive me nuts. Thank you for sharing this video. 🇬🇧
That sound can be heard thru-out all of california…..i truly hate the amount of population that has grown here in the past 35 years
Not peaceful at all and live in UK.
If you look at the house on Google Earth, you can see the pool is rather small. It appears to be smaller than a car!! Great video as usual!!!
Been to the Palladium a few times in the 80s. Saw Motorhead, Venom and Slayer there.
That's so cool, back to 60s look, just watched once upon a time in hollywood last night. Love Bowie, he's missed.

I wish their was video of the pool exorcism too I would have paid megabucks$$$ to see it I can only imagine. R.I.P David Bowie & thank you for the story Micheal. The way you told it was perfect. Gets me cracked up every time I watch this video. Keep up the good work guys.
Thank you guys for all your videos, I'm new to your channel. I like the way you guys create and document. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers!
I'm so glad you brings this too light oh boy he was awesome 👌 👏 like you thanks for the video.
Wish I met Bowie or be able to go to one of his shows. What is life 😢
I lost 2 hours of my life when I saw him in 1974. It wasn't the Diamond Dogs tour and no one knew anything about the soul album coming out in 1975.
Always enjoy your videos. Incredible story wow
I loved "A Man that fell to Earth"... What a crazy time for him!! such a great album too!! Strange how some the biggest songwriters/performers can break down at times... we are all human!! or not... ?
It's hard to BELEIVE David bowie was a real person at one point
1:30 the concert scene in The Blues Brothers that you referenced here, was not at the end of the movie, it was actually much closer to the middle of the movie. At the end of this concert, Jake and Elwood sneaked out of the building through an open window backstage. This was the beginning of the very long Police chase scene. Elwood "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sun glasses" Jake "HIT IT!!!" The closing scene in the movie was the Blues Brothers playing another concert, in prison. 12:15 For situations like this where you cannot see something from ground level, you might want to look into getting a drone.
Another well done video. I love how you do the research and you document it for all of us. Another thumbs up
LOVE the SOLO videos Mike!
Thank you for all your detailed info that I would probably have to do hours of research to find. Long live David Bowie!!!
I wish I lived somewhere called the Nightmare house! That's awesome! 🖤
Well, I've learned more about one of my favorite singers and enjoyed the ride. I grew up loving his song "Golden Years" and still love it. If you ever get the chance, read "The Man Who Fell to Earth." I know there's been a remake of the film, but I can't read that story without envisioning Bowie as the protagonist. He'll always be the Man Who Fell to Earth.
My favorite Bowie song "Heroes"☮️☮️
Same here along with Changes. What an extraordinary talent.
Young Americans & Putting Out Fire (with gasoline)
This was great!
It does not surprise me that David Bowie said his time in Los Angeles was the most miserable. After more than 46 years in Los Angeles, I am beyond ready to leave. There is so much wrong in this city and really county, that describing the evils here is impossible. One has to live here to truly understand. Thank you for posting this because I had no idea about that movie or his house.
There's me envious of you
Amen to that. I moved here in 1992, and over the past few years, have been completely regretting that choice. Ready to get the hell out of CA
@Lucifer Atum See what I mean? New York is so much better of a place.
@Azathoth I mean, there's alot of good things I've seen and experienced here, and met some really cool people that will always have a place in my heart. I just need to distance myself from some family. I can always rent my house out, if I ever want to return. I would be sad to leave CA, in a way, and might even start missing it somewhat.
@Azathoth I was born & raised in Queens, so that place is home to me- I'm guessing you're from CA, and that's cool... because that's your home. My boyfriend is born & raised here in CA, and it's his home. There are alot of good things and bad things about where we're each from that we may or may not be aware of. Not all of New York is bad, like what the image the media depicts. Hell, if you went with me to visit, you would have a frickin' blast! 😁
My Mom Met David In 1982. She was 24 years old. She met him in LA. She had just got his new song. Back then lets Dance. I was 2 years old back then. He was going to sing in LA that year.
your camera work keeps getting better
Yes. I love David Bowie. Thanks for always bringing us such great videos.
We LOVE staying at the Franklin Roosevelt Hotel. Another fun thing there is that they have a “secret” speak easy on the second floor that most locals don’t even know about. It’s really pretty cool- very retro- with a full on bowling alley. On the weekends, people totally dress up- 1920’s clothes and very expensive outfits. Very, very difficult to get reservations there (unless you’re a hotel guest), but certainly worth trying! We’ve had such a blast going!!!
OMG, dude. These rock history videos are so awesome. This is all stuff that would never get recorded because it's such obscure information, the kind of stuff that gets mentioned at parties and incredibly cool to be recording it here for posterity. So much more entertaining than most of the garbage shown on cable tv.
I'd like to have seen the Elizabeth Short mural . Thanks you two for taking me to places I'll never get to see . Your channel rocks !! , keep up the great work and stay safe.
Thanks to your giving the address of 637 Doheny, I went to Google Maps and saw the swimming pool from the satellite view.
Greetings from Norway.Love your videos
You two are awesome. Wish I lived in California to explore all these cool places.
Hello from the Philippines! Thank's for your videos,i like how you explained each stories you featured...Keep Safe out there & GodbLess 🍁🌷🌷🍁
I watched your video yesterday, and I have to say-I’m a big fan of your work! Honestly, I should have subscribed ages ago. I first discovered your videos about three years ago when you did a recap on Kurt Cobain’s home in the Hollywood Hills. That video made me want to find the house myself, and I visited several times. It was completely locked up every time, but I eventually managed to explore the lower floor (not too exciting) and, thanks to some squatters who pried open wooden boards, the upper floor as well. It didn’t stay open for long, but at least I got to see the entire place!
Even though I’m not a massive Kurt Cobain fan (and I deeply apologize for that), I can still appreciate that he was truly one of a kind.
Now, back to David Bowie ( I am a big fan too) and the house on Doheny-you were so determined to see the swimming pool! Today, December 15th 2024, I went to the location myself, took some pictures, and sent up my drone to capture shots of the pool. You can technically see it on Google Maps, but my shots are the real deal. (I’m a licensed drone pilot.) There was a tarp covering the pool, though.
Interestingly, there’s another pool nearby that belongs to a famous actor or director-I’m sure you’d know who I’m talking about. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to share a few of my drone photos with you, completely free of charge and with no strings attached. You deserve the support; your storytelling is phenomenal.
You can find my email address on my TH-cam profile, so there’s no need to exchange anything else here. Keep up the amazing work-you’ve been at this for quite some time, and it’s clear you’re on the right track.
Best.
Fred
