Juliens Live Auction - "Bowie" Starman lyrics
Just recently joined this great site after being a long time visitor and hate to start off with a controversial observation.
There has been widespread UK media coverage of Julien's Live auction (Nov 4th 2017) - a set of handwritten lyrics purporting to be written by David Bowie as a work in progress for "Starman" and authenticated by Perry Cox. As a 40 year collector of Bowie autographs which includes some handwritten letters, this in my opinion is NOT genuine.
Its far too neat for starters and whilst it has some of his traits, is inconsistent particularly towards the end when the person who wrote these lyrics flows back to their "not trying" hand style, it is a poor attempt copy of the original which appeared at the Bowie Is exhibition (also attached)...
Sadly, this will achieve many, many thousand of dollars based on the genuine Jean Genie handwritten lyrics recent sale.
Other learned Bowie watchers/collectors thoughts welcome.

Ugh. $81,000. Disappointing. As I just wrote elsewhere - seller and buy both dropped the ball. Makes me angry - quite avoidable.
