Your regular reminder that at his wedding to Iman, Bowie had a group photo taken with Bono, Ono and Eno.

I refuse to believe this was an accident.

@TwoClownsEating What a gathering!

@gecole

Indeed.

Even stranger, I just learnt it was a small affair, only 68 guests, and these were pretty much the only famous ones.

@TwoClownsEating @gecole

The Bowie Museum @ V&A East opens May 31st. I've browsed some of the artifacts online.

@TheEddieShow @gecole

I was completely unaware they were opening a new museum. Looks amazing.

@TwoClownsEating @gecole

Not much about it since the announcement a couple years ago.

@TheEddieShow @gecole

Passed me by somehow πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@TheEddieShow @TwoClownsEating oh, thanks! Missed that. Time to plan a trip.

@gecole @TwoClownsEating

I'd love to go to London, if I could make the crossing on the the Queen Mary 2.  

@TwoClownsEating @gecole Missed opportunity to invite one more guest, IMO.

@TwoClownsEating like we needed more evidence of the man's stunning brilliance... this is hysterical and amazing πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€
@TwoClownsEating @Nickiquote Someone must have reworded the Dexys track that night.

@TwoClownsEating I wonder whether Bono is having in his head this little self talk like when he gets a bonus, or a boner - ”It’s because I’m Bono”
@TwoClownsEating Can you tell me what you think his joke was? I can see two possibilities and I don’t want to be the guy explaining the joke everyone else already gets... πŸ˜…

@murtaugh

Just the fact the names all kind of rhyme.

Bono, Ono, Eno.

@TwoClownsEating Ok, this might be a stretch, but β€” if you look at the first letters of Bono, Ono, Iman, Eno... you get:

B O (Bowie) I E

@murtaugh

I see where you're going but it is a stretch πŸ˜‚

He liked the Fast Show and Viz comics so I'd guess the absurdity of vaguely rhyming guests was probably enough. Plus he didn't seem narcissistic enough to spell out his own name in guests (he could have invited director John Woo to complete it πŸ˜‰).

@TwoClownsEating @murtaugh okay, but Eno almost certainly noticed; just look at his face, he's anagramming all their first names too

@ike_seblon @murtaugh

Eno is wondering why he didn't get the indoor sunglasses memo.

@TwoClownsEating @murtaugh I’m sure they were real guests and appeared pro bono.
Oh no, enoff puns.
@TwoClownsEating
How did he miss out on the W?
Bono
Ono
W???
Iman
Eno
Obviously Bowie himself is standing in for the W in that photo.
@TwoClownsEating Imagining the introductions, like "Yma, Uma. Uma, Yma." https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1962/02/24/yma-dream

In this dream, which the writer has had on the night of the full moon for the past 3 months, he is giving a cocktail party in honor of Yma Sumac, the …
