You Belong In Rock&Folk...
The extremely French Jerome Soligny has been in touch with details of the 40th anniversary edition of Rock&Folk magazine.
UK fans will know just how important the magazine was to us teenagers back in the 70s, (as it was of course to the rest of the world) as it often seemed to be the only source of decent quality Bowie photos printed on glossy magazine pages.
The fact that none of us understood a word of several important and in-depth features back then didn't seem important...At least not when, on the rare occasion that one could get hold of a copy of the mag, you could run straight off to the French teacher for a translation!
Anyway, the magazine continued to boast many exclusive Bowie interviews and features right up to the present day.
Here's David's birthday message in the current issue of the magazine, for those that can't read the small French stuff in the scan above:

For all at Rock and Folk, my very best wishes to you for this 40th birthday. You are true survivors and we have come a long way together, you and I. Thank you so much for being there for all of us artists and I personally look forward to talking with you again in the near future.
David Bowie

So happy 40th birthday too from the Bowie fans around the globe whose bedroom walls you managed to brighten in such a stylish way.
