David Bowie Got Personal
David Bowie, the Starman, had to endure a three-year ban from SNL. This happened because he went against what Lorne Michaels, the person in charge, wanted him to perform. Instead of singing the calmer song “Telling Lies,” Bowie decided to perform “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)” live. Michaels didn’t like that song because it reminded him of a difficult time in his life, and Bowie knew that.
