Video: 'Maggiore On Bowie'

Our Interview Discusses Musical Nostalgia, 'Modern Love,' And The Coolest Guy Who Ever Lived

L-R Charlize Theron, Abraham Lincoln

My first job out of law school was as Counsel to a member of the New York Legislature and John Maggiore was his Chief of Staff. After working together for a couple of years I moved from Albany to Buffalo for a career as a trial lawyer while John stayed in Capital City and a life in public service.

I have known John for 30 years, but the December 6, 2024 interview below is the first time we have talked for nearly three decades. We reconnected due to our shared love of music.

John’s publication, “Maggiore on Bowie” is a corollary to “Bowie on Bowie,” the 2017 collection of Bowie interviews published by the Chicago Review Press. His site is a fascinating place, filled with all things Ziggy Stardust.
