In 1967 the 20-year-old Bowie received a letter from a 14-year old girl in New Mexico and was so excited he immediately sat down and typed her a page-long reply. “My real name is David Jones … I hope one day to get to America.”

Aww! The Olds like to complain that the art of letter writing is lost, and now I’m wondering if they have a point.
I think they definately have a point, but then…I might be in the Olds category.
aw man. chillest guy. what a nice read.
Aww, that was very endearing. Yet another reason to love David Bowie.
So sweet.
That brings me back to that time when I realised “A Day In The Life” and all those other songs was actually the same band that did “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”…Amazing!
what?
Duh…
I have to agree. There’s something sweet about his response and his apparent giddiness at receiving fan mail.
