TIM POPE BOWIE COMPILATION...
FILMS
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.
