A while back, Ray saw this Urban Myths "tru-ish" short film, "When Bowie Met Bolan" on Showtime. He mentioned it to Markus, but (despite MG's love of both singers) he was initially lukewarm about doing an episode. Yet, here it is. Time goes by, memories gets foggy, but we are sure that David and Marc met early in their respective careers, and shared a manager. The rest is fun, unexpected, and provides a glimpse of these two future stars. Markus and Ray give an overview then work their way through
