On this day in 1947, David Robert Jones was born in London. A real wartime baby. He went to school in Brixton, then moved to Yorkshire, which is in the north of England, and lived on the farms up there. Later in life he would change his name to Davie Bowie, become a rock star, become a proficient stage and screen actor, marry a supermodel, and become (to his surprise) a New Yorker.

Quite a life.
