The last known photo of the great poet.

Welcome to another episode of the Bowie Book Club, where wild speculation and grasping for straws about Bowie’s favorite books has reigned supreme since 2016. This time we read The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot, and tried to talk about anything else beside the poem (and you know...that other thing that's going on).

Apologies again for the recording weirdness! We're such a bunch of fireworms (that'll make more sense after you listen to this one). We'll get it together at some point.
