Considering the recent and great posts in other threads about John's friendship with David Bowie, I thought it was worthy of having a thread devoted exclusively to their mutual admiration and many connections!
David Bowie (1983): I'll never forget something John Lennon told me. We were talking about writing, and I had always admired the way that he used to cut through bulls**t, just come straight to the point with what he wanted to say. And he said, "it's very easy, all you have to do is say what you mean, make it rhyme, and put a backbeat to it." I keep coming back to that principle as a writer.
