that film Cracked Actor by the BBC's Arena strand on Bowie is by far the best "rock" profile there has ever been.
Best moment, when he sings Jacques Brel's "My Death" and then right at the end when he's singing the final verse and he's all like
"But whatever lies behind the door
there is nothing much to do...
angel or devil, I don't care
for in front of that door...
there is..."and random voices in the audience start going "me!!" "me!!" "David me!!!"
and he just smiles wryly and thats it.
That were his last performance as Ziggy Stardust.

The best David Bowie moment might be when he asked Morrisey to silently walk off stage while he took over and finished the song Morrisey had begun.

The man even has a giant fuck-off knife named after him.

(Jan 8 07, 08:09)Hehe, the knife is named after Jim Bowie:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim…David Bowie decided to take up the last name of 'Bowie' to distinguish himself from the other David Jones' at the time of his musical arrival.
David Bowie is a legend. The proverbial Halloween Jack of All Trades (bazing).
I don't necessarily have a favourite Bowie moment per se. I do love his penchant for helping out his friends, and always looking out for new music and his ever changing style so to speak.
He still drops great albums too, haha!!

Hrm, favourite Bowie moment is probably him and Bing Crosby singing their rendition of 'Little Drummer Boy'.
That is crack.

Watching Christiane F for the first time. Wow!
Worst moment is the day he formed Tin Machine. That didn't work for me.
- rafalski0
Tin Machine was important because it got Bowie and Reeves Gabrels closer. The man did amazing solos in Scary Monsters in the '97 gigs, it was hard to top Robert Fripp on that.
Funny how the US version of Tin Machine II cover was castrated:

Uh, Why are we talking about Bowie's birthday today. Are you still on an Elton hangover?
Best album: Outside with so many other honorable mentions. Basically owned the 70s from The Man Who Sold the World till Scary Monsters. Just about every song was great.
My favorite moment was the 50th birthday show in MSG My wife and I were both there years before we met.

It's also my birthday today... I've had a couple fine moments as well.
