This looks at Lou Reed and David Bowie's falling out and reconciliation. The fight is (except for the obvious parts) based as much as possible on actual events, the reconciliation is more speculative.

Summary
According to Simon Napier-Bell, when Duran Duran were recording their debut album, they approached (his word is "begged") David Sylvian to produce. He refused, which Napier-Bell says was their making, since it stopped them from just being Japan clones.
