Really interesting compilation of info there, thanks:

David Bowie: "The song was written from the ground up on the night I
visited their studio. I believe the riff had already been written by
Freddie and the others so then we jointly put together the different
chord sections to make it a cohesive piece of music. Then Freddie and
I came up with our individual top line melodies. So when you hear
Freddie sing, that's what he wrote and when you hear me sing, that was
mine. Then we worked on the lyrics together. I still cannot believe
that we had the whole thing written and recorded in one evening flat.
Quite a feat for what is actually a fairly complicated song."

Roger: "One night he turned up and we all started just piddling about,
playing covers, and then I think we decided we'd write our own song. I
think it was his idea actually [...] It had no blueprint, you know.
You couldn't say that came from something, cos it was a very unusual
song, and still one of my favourites. I think the final section is one
of the best things we ever did."

Yes, Will, just one person; the same one who's been forging you, too,
apparently. The message ID on his post is:
Message-ID: <4b80...@news.x-privat.org>
and the account profile that comes up for "Mikey Lissack" indicates
that he's never posted to alt.fan.david-bowie using that account.

Indeed it was; and, since it doesn't look like "Mikey" was posting
from there anyway, I thought I'd unsnip that group.
