With Bowie it was definitely easy too much cocaine...

One of my favorite quotes of all time came from a psychiatrist, speaking on Mel Gibson's famous drunk driving tirade:

"You can't pour vodka on a turnip and have it say anti-semitic remarks."

However, Bowie claims it was a stage persona. Why he decided on a fascist for the persona is a decent question on its own, but I don't think "because cocaine" is a good explanation by itself.
