[Rumori] Sex Pistols are Appropriation Artists, says David Bowie

[The Evolution Control Committee / TradeMark G.]

"Fashion Rocks" supplement to Wired October 2005

[Following an answer where David Bowie is talking about his first 
pair of fuck-me pumps getting stolen]

Q.  If it weren't for people stealing things from you, the Sex 
Pistols would never have had their sound system.

A. [Laughs] You know, Steve Jones owned up to that.  I get on very 
well with Steve now, but at the time I was extremely angry.  Of 
course, we had no idea who actually stole the stuff.

Q.  Now would you think of it more as a borrowing?

A.  An appropriation, actually.
