Bowie's fascination with the bizarre was fuelled when he met dancer Lindsay Kemp: " He lived on his emotions, he was a wonderful influence.

Studying avant-garde theatre and mime under Lindsay Kemp, he was given the role of Cloud in Kemp's 1967 theatrical production Pierrot in Turquoise ( later made into the 1970 television film The Looking Glass Murders ).

An early Kemp tax reform attempt was an unsuccessful 1979 proposal to index tax brackets for cost of living fluctuations, which was incorporated in Reagan's 1980 package.

The reversal was controversial and stimulated opposition by Kemp.

By 1985, Kemp was a leading contender for the 1988 Presidential nomination.

" Kemp has compared his speech to George Carlin's 1984 comedy routine on the differences between baseball and American football and has written that his " tongue was firmly planted in cheek " when making the speech.

Kemp was among the majority of Republican candidates in opposition to Reagan's INF Treaty agreement with the Soviet Union's Mikhail Gorbachev despite general Republican voter approval of the treaty.

By early 1988, the moderates ( Bush and Dole ) were clearly the front-runners and Kemp was battling with Pat Robertson as the conservative alternative to the moderates.

As a so-called " bleeding-heart conservative ", Kemp was a logical choice for Bush as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, whose job would be to foster public sector and private sector methods to meet the demands of public housing.

However, the scandals of Reagan's Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Samuel Pierce and the neglect of the president were obstacles from the start, and Kemp was unsuccessful at either of his major initiatives: enacting enterprise zones and promoting public housing tenant ownership.

Although Kemp was unable to procure money for his visions, he was among the administration's leading users of first class corporate jets.

In 1992, with H. Ross Perot mounting a formidable campaign, Kemp was again considered a Vice Presidential candidate.

Kemp was partly at fault for not achieving either of his primary goals because he did not get along with the rest of the Cabinet.

At one point, Kemp told James Baker, White House Chief of Staff, that Bush's best chance to win reelection was to dump his economic advisors in dramatic fashion.

Kemp was respected within the party for opposing Bush, and towards the end of Bush's administration insiders recognized his value.

Kemp was a bit of a surprise to stay in the Bush Cabinet for the duration of his presidency, and he was described as one of the few Bush Administration members who would take tough stands.

Kemp was considered the star of the 1992 Republican National Convention.

In 1992 and 1993, Kemp was considered the favorite or co-favorite for the 1996 Presidential nomination.

At the time of the 1994 mid-term elections, Kemp was widely anticipated to announce his candidacy for 1996, and his supporters wanted a formal announcement by the end of the year.

In January 1995, Kemp's stated reason for not entering the 1996 Republican Party presidential primaries was that his personal beliefs were out of balance with the contemporary Republican political landscape: Kemp opposed term limits, he always preferred tax cuts to anything resembling a balanced budget amendment and, unlike most Republicans, favored federal incentives to combat urban poverty.

In 1995, Gloria Borger noted Kemp was not in step with the 1994 Contract with America.

In the late 1990s, Kemp also was a vocal advocate for free market reform in Africa, arguing that the continent had great economic growth potential if it could shed autocratic and statist governmental policies.

To offset his socially moderate stances, Kemp clarified his opposition to abortion, his support of the Strategic Defense Initiative ( SDI ) and his support for a stronger military than that favored by Secretary of State George Shultz.

In addition to opposition in Congress, Kemp fought White House Budget Director Richard Darman, who opposed Kemp's pet project HOPE ( Homeownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere ).

" In 1994, Kemp and Bennett opposed California ballot Proposition 187, a measure to bar illegal immigrants from obtaining public services, in direct opposition to first-term Republican California Governor Pete Wilson, one of its endorsers who was running for re-election.

For his part, Kemp had to make concessions as well: he had to back expelling the children of illegal immigrants from public schools despite his longstanding opposition to Proposition 187 and mute his opposition to abolishing affirmative-action programs in California.

However, Kemp was able to use the nomination to promote his opposition to Clinton's partial birth abortion ban veto.

Reagan supported the reforms at Dole's request, causing Kemp to summon allies to meetings to stop the act, which eventually passed in 1982.

However, in general, the opinion was that Kemp was helpful to the ticket's chances of catching Bill Clinton, and Kemp's advocacy gave a clear picture of the tax reforms that would likely occur on the condition of a successful campaign.

Nonetheless, the riots made Kemp a focal point of the administration, even though at first, Kemp had been overlooked.

When Dole declined an invitation to speak to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, he suggested Kemp as a substitute even before Kemp had become the Vice Presidential nominee.

Dole was a longstanding conservative deficit hawk who had even voted against John F. Kennedy's tax cuts, while Kemp was an outspoken supply-sider.

Kemp was seen as likely to influence several types of swing voters, especially those of his native state of California, and even the Democrats feared Kemp might lure voters.

The First Bank of Kemp, several grocery stores, a pharmacy, barber shops, livery stables, a hardware store, a blacksmith shop, a butcher shop, cafes, and even a hotel made the business district of the town.

This was an uncertain time for the future of the band, and when Harries announced he was not keen to continue his role, even the willingness of Kemp to return to the line-up full-time was not enough to prevent what was effectively a breakup.

Kemp was even accused of copying Graham's design, and was not vindicated until 1840.

The opening track, " London ", was penned by Rick Kemp as a follow-up to " All Around My Hat ", in response to a request from the record label that Kemp describes as " we'll have another one of those, please ", and released as a single.

Despite efforts and considerations of expanding his political domain, Kemp never held a fundraiser outside of his suburban Western New York district until well into his eighth term in Congress.

After Bush won and Kemp left Congress for the Cabinet, the two did not really cross paths again until 1996, when Kemp endorsed Dole's opponent Forbes on the eve of the New York Primary in March.

On January 6, 2008, Kemp endorsed McCain in the 2008 Republican presidential primaries shortly before the New Hampshire primary, which surprised conservative Republican tax cutters.
