David Bowie's mugshot, circa 1976:



Even a mugshot, generally understood to capture the most unflattering moment in the life of a celebrity, isn't safe from David Bowie's powers of insta-cool.

Well, he was more lame that this persona. Not saying this persona fits in with TA but I have learned quit a bit recently.

Mug shot aficionados are likely aware that TSG has unearthed a host of previously unseen celebrity mug shots, from Tupac Shakur and Andre The Giant to Johnny Cash and 50 Cent. Today we're adding to that list with this marvelous booking photo of David Bowie, which was snapped in Rochester, New York following the singer's March 1976 arrest on a felony pot possession charge. Bowie, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a Saturday concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment.

Hmmmm, I dunno Stu but I was born on that dudes birthday so that makes me an expert at not knowing why he was arrested.

Pot? Weak.

The cops must have missed the 30kg of cocaine stashed somewhere.

No, he had the 30kg of coke but his fame made them overlook it.
