Teen Told Bowie he's AS GOOD AS the Beatles — What He Typed Back Stayed Hidden for 42 YEARS

In September 1967, a 14-year-old girl from New Mexico named Sandra Dodd received a promotional copy of David Bowie's debut album that had already been rejected by three other people, and she loved it so much she wrote him a handwritten letter comparing his music to the Beatles and offering to start his first American fan club. Bowie was so excited to receive his very first fan letter from America that he immediately sat down at a typewriter in his manager's office, ignored his manager screaming at him about deadlines, and typed out a personal response filled with typing mistakes he turned into jokes, genuine warmth, and confessions about his uncertainty regarding both America and his struggling career. That letter remained Sandra's private treasure for 42 years until she casually posted it online in 2009, where it instantly went viral and showed millions of people around the world what David Bowie was really like before fame taught him to be more guarded, a humble 20-year-old so grateful for one teenage fan's appreciation that he took the time to write back with his whole heart.
