Bowie bits and pieces -

This is an excerpt from Brett Morgen's fantastic film MOONAGE DAYDREAM about Bowie. The only footage here that is from me is the 50th Birthday Celebration at Madison Square.Garden. For this, we shot extra material and David mimed to the previous night's performance as I filmed.

TIM POPE BOWIE COMPILATION...

My first exchange with Bowie was in an uptown New York restaurant when Iggy Pop left the  dinner table and an empty seat fell between us. He turned to me and said, "Tim Pope, funny arsehole, aren't you?" My response: "David Bowie, complete c***, aren't you?" There followed a teetering moment of uncertainty, as I thought to myself, "God, I've wanted to work with him since I was a teenager, and I just blew it with my first words." We went on to work together for twelve years, my favourite project being his 50th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden, where guests included Lou Reed.
