“Jean Genie” Lyrics Sell for £57,000

There was recently an item in the news that Bowie’s handwritten lyrics for “the Jean Genie” were auctioned off for a price of £57,000. Last year, the handwritten lyrics for “Starman” sold for £200,000. There’s not much more to the story than that, but it gives me this excuse to post this video of Bowie singing the song live from what looks like around 1997, accompanied by Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins.
