After a show on February 6th, 1976: "The numbers were a bit tough for us tonight. We were a four and the audience was a four. That can sometimes mean resistance. In L.A. we'll be a five — in the realm of the magician — and the audience will be a six — meaning comfortable, agreeable. That should really be something." ["BOWIE: NOW I'M A BUSINESSMAN", 'Melody Maker' 1976, by Robert Hilburn.]

In title song „Station to Station” from the album of the same name, David Bowie mentions ‘‘kether’’ and ‘‘malkuth’’. At time of song’s release only few knew what he is saying and even fewer what it means, although David ‘‘always accompanied the line on stage with a hand movement sliding from “top” to “bottom.”’’ Kether and Malkuth are Jewish Kabalah terms that represent two of 10 Sephirots in the Tree of Life.Kether also known as Keter is the topmost of the Sephirot, called ‘crown’ in Hebrew. It sits in a triptih, above Chokmah and Binah to the right and left.
Keter is so sublime, it is called in the Zohar (radience or sublime) "the most hidden of all hidden things", and is completely incomprehensible to man. It is also described as absolute compassion, and Rabbi Moshe Cordovero describes it as the source of the 13 Supernal Attributes of Mercy.
In metaphor it is known and taught as “The lily amongst the thorns”.
Malkuth meanwhile meaning „kingdom” is at the very bottom of the tree.
„Unlike the other nine sephirot, it is an attribute of God which does not emanate from God directly. Rather it emanates from God’s creation—when that creation reflects and evinces God’s glory from within itself.
Although Malkuth is seen as the lowest Sefirah on the tree of life, it also contains within it the potential to reach the highest. This is exemplified in the Hermetic maxim ‘As above so below’.”
The actual phrase „kether to malkuth” means “crown to kingdom/royalty/kingship” in Hebrew, and should be pronounced keter to malchoot (ch like the Scottish ch in loch).

From Huck:
"One of 21’s most ridiculous books was solicited by Bowie – fitting for Bowie, the book was the biography of a made-up artist. William Boyd’s Nat Tate: an American Artist 1928-1960 included fake artwork by the esteemed fake artist Nat Tate. The book was meant to get art aficionados worked up over some forgotten artist of the mid-20th century. Bowie wrote a jacket blurb for the book, and organised a release party on April Fool’s Day in Jeff Koon’s New York studio where he read, “Absolutely deadpan, to the assembled New York glitterati.” It’s reported that at the party, white-haired art folk began miraculously ‘remembering’ a retrospective of Nat Tate’s work they had seen some years ago, as if Bowie and Boyd had actually brought the artist to life. It was revealed as a hoax soon afterward."
