Ziggy played guitar. He’s also been known to toke on that sweet ganja. And he got busted by the fuzz in 1979. Here is photographic proof. This vintage photograph was taken at the exact moment when undercover cops in Rochester, NY slapped the cuffs on David Bowie and Iggy Pop. Apparently it was “someone else” who was smoking pot in Bowie’s hotel room in 1976. Yeah sure. Ground control to Major Tom, I ain’t buying it.
The worst part of the whole thing had to be Iggy Pop on the way to the police station singing The Passenger over and over again while Bowie was biting and kicking him to get him to shut up.
They had to face the cha cha cha charges!
