With Rono and David...
there was--you know--a real...
Sympatico.
David was in town. We got introduced... The
record label thought he was very
contemporary. I thought all the records
that sounded good were coming out of London.
I was petrified that he said yes,
he would like to sort of work with me in
the producer capacity because I had so
many ideas and I felt so intimidated by
my knowledge of the work that he'd
already done.
Having someone like Bowie,
help him get that kind of
attention, get him the marquee value
of a producers name, produced by David
Bowie and Mick Ronson.
That's valuable-- that's valuable coin.
I remember
meeting in Max's Kansas City then
he came down to the hotel a couple of
times and we sit around and talk about
the production of the "Transformer" album
and it sit and play a new song.
I never had kids screaming at me
particularly; they'd scream at David, not
at me. Me, they would throw syringes and
joints onstage.
Isn't that a great line?
I never thought of having a hit. "Wild Side" be a hit, you got to be kidding. No...
But I didn't think about anything being a hit.
