"According to David Buckley, the author of the book "Strange Fascination: David Bowie: The Definitive Story," Bowie's diet at the time consisted of cocaine, peppers and milk, and he lived in "a state of psychic terror." Interviews published in Playboy and Rolling Stone depicted Bowie surrounding himself with burning black candles and Egyptian artifacts and believing that bodies were floating past his window, witches were stealing his semen and that the Rolling Stones were sending him secret messages. He lived in fear of Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, owing to his supposed practice of witchcraft. In Station To Station's title track, Bowie yelped, "It's not the side effects of the cocaine; I'm thinking that it must be love," which was definitely the wrong diagnosis."
