This is an old interview with Dick Cavett. In the comments everyone's noting that Bowie is more lucid on coke than most artists today. Haha.

I don't even see why they think he's high.

Probabilities. During this period of Bowie's life, it would've been extremely unusual for him to have NOT been strung out on something

True. But he's not behaving erratically.

There's a demented beauty in developing a high tolerance, up to and including not APPEARING to be impaired

You can see it in his eyes.
I don't mean his supposedly different eye colours, which weren't different.
Besides, he has something else intus and luckily survived it.
