Berlin, 1979: Frank Zappa tells David Bowie "F*ck you, Captain Tom"

Inside David Bowie's Final Berlin Album 'Lodger'
Bowie took his experiments even further on 1979 LP



Replacing Robert Fripp for this outing was Adrian Belew, poached by Bowie in Berlin when the young guitarist came through town with Frank Zappa's band. "Quite a guitar player you have here, Frank," Bowie said, according to Belew, when Zappa discovered them dining together. "Fuck you, Captain Tom," Zappa responded.
