Bowie Tv

The Movie Channel: Wednesday, June 30, at 3:10pm

Rated R - 1996, Drama: Based on the story of Jean Michel Basquiat,a noted New York artist whose career was cut short by a heroinoverdose. Dir: Julian Schnabel, Starring:Jeffrey Wright, Michael Wincott, Benicio Del Toro, Claire Forlani, David Bowie, Dennis Hopper.

This biographical drama focuses on the life of tormented artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat began his career as a Manhattan graffiti artist but ultimately climbed up to the higher echelons of the art world. This 1996 drama was written and directed by Julian Schnabel, one of the most sought after painters of the 1980's art scene. Look for great performances all around, including one from David Bowie as Andy Warhol.

Hi! I don't know if David already knows this, but his name makes an interesting anagram:

"Via web I'd do"

or just the opposite:

"I'd avoid web"

Just quite funny, isn't it?from a fan in FinlandJulia.
