He absorbs from everyone, so was probably aware of what Fay was up to. I'm intrigued by the games Bowie plays with revealing his influences. He talked up Iggy, Burroughs, VU, Warhol and so on in the early 70s but never let on how huge an influence Scott Walker was until very recently. I guess, he only really discusses these people to associate himself with their cred and cachet. From what I know of Bowie, he never misses a trick.
