After showing Bowie around New York, he asked if he could meet his idol. Nobody was really taking this conversation and running with it. So they were circling each other and then David gave him a copy of Hunky Dory on which was his ode to Andy Warhol, the song Andy Warhol.
Bowie wrote numerous classic hits and was known for being innovative and revolutionary. Remember, David Bowie was not a big star. He was just some guy off the street as far as Andy Warhol was concerned. David was wearing yellow Mary Janes and Andy had been a shoe illustrator, which David knew so they began talking about shoes. Otherwise it was not the greatest meeting [laughs].
I was left there. It was my shoes that got him. He absolutely adored them. Things were fine from that point. An amazingly trivial conversation got started, and everybody relaxed. You could tell because their eyeballs twitched more slowly. Warhol and his acolytes were in the audience, and was considerably more favourable towards Bowie than he had been the previous year.
David Bowie songs. He was a strange fish. I took the song to The Factory when I first came to America and played it to him, and he hated it. Loathed it. It was my shoes that got him. He absolutely adored them. Then I found out that he used to do a lot of shoe designing when he was younger. He had a bit of a shoe fetishism. That kind of broke the ice. He was an odd guy.
