Connect With Fans the Old School Way
The Daily Mail has unearthed an old letter from a certain David Jones, dated September ’67. Bowie responded to his first American fan letter, from a 14 year old girl named Sandra, personally and fully. Now that’s connecting with fans… Not only does he thank her personally, but asks her to stay in touch, and talks about instituting a US fan club. Pretty savvy for a young man in the first flushes of his career, and 40 years before Trent Reznor started having the same ideas.
