David Bowie



 


 






“I suppose for me as an artist it wasn’t always just about expressing my work; I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture I was living in.”

Because I am who I am, and this post wouldn't be complete without it, here are two of David Bowie's reading lists here and here. If you need a smile, read this.

"I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, "Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman."

David Bowie was my time and my age. I can relate to all of the individual singers and groups in that time period. He knew what made money and he did it his way.
A lot of British singers did it "their way" and changed the world.
Have you read Patti Smith's book Just Kids? She has a newer book out but, the review were just OK. It is a very interesting American time period tale of her life.

I still can't believe that he is gone! I was so lucky to see the exhibition " David Bowie is" at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2013. I loved seeing that reading list there!
