En hemmelighed så god, at ingen tror på ham, der røber den (på sin blog), er en kunst

(undtagen hvis det handler om likviderede præsidenter og dens slags naturligvis)

Fra interview med produceren af Bowies nye plade Tony Visconti på rolingstone.com:

How hard was it to keep this a secret?
It was very easy to keep it a secret because we're very loyal to him. I've known him 45 years, and everybody knew him for more than 10 years in the band. We just love the guy. He said, "Keep it a secret, and don't tell anybody. Not even your best friend." I said, "Can I tell my girlfriend?" He says, "Yes, you can tell your girlfriend, but she can't tell anybody." So everybody had to explain why they were leaving for work in the morning, you know where they were going and who they were recording with. The real trick was just not telling even your best friend. Bowie fans are just unpredictable – if they hear news like this, the cover would have been blown years ago. Now one person did leak it, but nobody believed him . . .

Who?

Robert Fripp (spiller guitar på Scary Monsters jo LB)! He was asked to play on it, he didn't want to do it and then he wrote on his blog that he was asked. And nobody kinda believed him. It was a little flurry for a few days, but everyone said,  "How could that be true? We haven't heard it from anyone else?"
