David Bowie had a simple and effective idea to move unnoticed in New York as revealed by a close friend in the Guardian.
British writer, William Boyd, writing for the British newspaper revealed that the singer was using a Greek newspaper as cover to pass unnoticed when using public transport in New York.
Boyd recalls an encounter in the American metropolis:
"As I arrived I saw Bowie stepping out of a yellow cab and paying the driver. Greeting him and vaguely surprised to see him in this form of transport I asked him if he ever had any problems moving around the city. Not at all, he said, he happily used cabs and subways. “I just carry one of these,” he said, and held up a Greek newspaper. People think: that’s David Bowie, surely? Then they see the Greek newspaper – no, can’t be, just some Greek guy who looks like him.
It was a brilliant idea, I thought. So simple, so efficient – and somehow effortlessly cool and stylish: an act both quotidian and bravura, entirely typical of this fascinating man. So we can add another category to the long list of achievements that Bowie carried off so memorably and with such unique poise and brio. Not just an unforgettable songwriter, performer and musician but also an actor, an artist, a writer, a publisher, a shrewd financial operator and – it turns out (though we shouldn’t be at all surprised) – a master of disguise".
