In this BBC Newsnight interview from 1999 David Bowie talks to Jeremy Paxman about going to meet Tony Blair in stilettos, his alter egos – and makes some incredibly accurate predictions about the potential of the internet.

Bowie died 3 years ago this past Jan. 10th.

Bowie was a genius. Not just musically, but in pretty much he everything he bothered to entertain himself with. His observations of where the internet was headed are mind-blowing spot-on.

His voice is missed.

Today is the 42nd anniversary of his album Low. Time to put on the headphones.
