This is the first tab I submit after the death of the Duke, I just can't get over it but I really believe
this is a good way to pay tribute to him.
Station To Station is one of my favourite Bowie albums, and TVC15 is certainly one of the greatest tunes
on it, so I thought it was a pity not to have a proper tab for it. There is a nice anecdote regarding
this song... Legend has it that it was inspired by a completely stoned Iggy Pop who thought that Bowie's
TV was going to swallow his girlfriend. This got the Duke to write a song about a holographic TV named
TVC15.
Rate the tab with 5 stars for more Bowie anecdotes... and leave a comment if you wish.
Enjoy the song!
