i once licked david bowie's cake just to be close to him
david now i would have thought that was not a good way of being close to him but that was a way of
being forcibly removed from his presence so how did licking his cake bring you close to him right
so um it was the 1980s i believe it was the year of the glass spider tour
yeah i was working as a waitress in a cocktail
not a bowie song sure i'm no expert but that's not one of his that much is true
thank you so now if you were working as a waitress it wasn't a cocktail bar
it was a cappuccino bar because it was the 80s
so i was working as a waitress in a cappuccino hang on was cappuccino popular in the 80s
yeah they came in in the 80s didn't they they arrived in portol but a week last thursday
anyway i'm not quite uh good-looking enough slash slim enough to be serving at tables oh right did
they tell you this did they did they say i'm sorry love you i'm sorry no i can't have you
serving the class i'm sorry we're gonna have to hide you around the back making the froth
pretty much i was i was a washer-upper in aforementioned cappuccino bar
now massive excitement one day i'm in the back doing the washing up the word is spreading like
wildfire bowie's in bowie's in bowie's in i saw him in profile city did you see him from the
kitchen because i could look yeah right you were allowed occasionally and all the customers went
back in again
so bowie had ordered let's imagine i think it was something like a sort of a hot chocolate
fudge slice please or something like that can we get onto the licking let's get on to the licking
it's like friday night in my house
i thought i'm not going to get to say hello to him because i'm not allowed to go out front and serve
the man so what can i do just to feel that i have entered him oh my god in some way oh my god
no no i mean just yes that some of your dna has been ingested by the great man well what sort of
lick with bearing in mind this is very much a family show do the lick for us plate yeah
slice it would have been i'll just try and get back in the zone yeah it would have just been a
actually i thought i thought you would go up and down it a couple of times just a
little a polite lip touch it was it was full of homage and reverence for the great man and then
obviously it went out and i never saw him again it wasn't long after that he was hospitalized
all right david what are you thinking could this be true it would it could be true
but you know she started off as a waitress then she became you know washer rapper i think it
sounds so absurd and she's been so random and i think there's adam and the truth to it personally
so what are you gonna say david is it truth or is it a lie well one or the other
i think on balance it's a lie you're gonna say like
so mel licking david bowie's cake is it true or was it a lie it is a great fact true
you
