David Bowie’s Ice Cream Commercial

I just finished reading a brilliant Bowie biography called Starman by Paul Trynka.  I’ve read most of the Bowie books out there and this is easily the best.  (If you’re going to buy it, use Amazon.com for the best price.)

In one of the chapters on Bowie’s pre-“Space Oddity” wilderness years, Trynka mentions how Bowie took a job in an ice cream commercial which was directed by Ridley Scott.  Yes, THAT Ridley Scott.
