That's interesting, in that from the book I never got the impression that Christiane was massively into Bowie's music, more like she had the sort of superficial 'obsession-like' fascination with him that a heroin addict would have for anything or anyone that could justify their tenuous status as stars of some kind (and stars is the term that Christiane uses to describe herself and her heroin-riddled friends). On the same book she goes on about how Bowie's song Station To Station becomes more and more annoying to her when the heroin addiction turns her into a really desperate person because she can't figure out how to get rid of it. Trust me, get the book 'cause it's a good read.
ps: Station To Station becomes annoying to her because he sings ' It's too late.....' repetitively.
