The Next Day

I had tea with David Bowie. He told me about his new record album, The Next Day.

He seemed kind of down as he talked. I asked him what was up. He said he always gets this way when releasing a new record album. He worries about how people will receive it.

I said that when I was a kid, I was always afraid to give my book report in front of the class because I was worried that the other kids might make fun of me. David asked if the other kids did chide me. I said that some of them did and that it made me sad.

David asked me if I was trying to make a point.

I said that I wasn’t.

David said that if I wanted a copy of his new album that I would have to pay for it.
