the singer's March 1976 arrest on a felony pot possession charge.

I'm not going to pass judgment on Bowie getting busted for pot. I really don't care. But reading this made me curious about something: How do all these 60s and 70s era British rock stars with multiple drug busts under their belts manage to secure visas for American travel, work and often, residency?

I only ask because I recently went through the arduous process of securing a visa for my wife and it was written several times in the paperwork that criminal convictions make it nearly impossible to get a visa.

I would guess that a significant amount of cash applied to just the right liberal politician and you could get in.... Wait, this isn’t Mexico, is it?
