the first time i heard this, i thought it was a joke. it's worse than anything he did in the 80s...

in hindsight, it seems like the way to understand bowie's catastrophic mid 70s period is that he let his success get to his ego, and tried to take on too much of the writing process himself. not replacing ronson was really a giant error.
