1977: Bowie on Berlin, addiction, and dropping personas
David Bowie’s 1977 interviews around the Berlin period find him quieter than the Ziggy years: talking about the move to Berlin, fighting addiction, and wanting to drop theatrical personas that had defined earlier albums. He frames the work with Brian Eno and the Low / “Heroes” stretch as a studio start after those personas, and not as a new costume for the press. The tone is almost detached. The interviews cover the start of that late-70s run.
