I read an interesting article about him this morning. He was relatively quiet after the 80s and the article stated he was tired of fame and all the bullshit that came with it, so he stepped back.
"I read an interesting article about him this morning. He was relatively quiet after the 80s and the article stated he was tired of fame and all the bullshit that came with it, so he stepped back."
I admire anybody that does that! He made his money, he made great music, and after a certain point it seems like he just made the music he wanted to make and didn't care if it was popular! A brilliant way to live!
Bowie was mostly before my time, but I loved many of his CDs! Hunky Dory, Ziggy, Low, Heroes, and even Tin Machine!
Constant transformation of both the art and the artist, across various different forms of performance. From Major Tom to Lazarus, ch ch ch chaaanges, indeed, was in his essence. In an interview he once said something to the effect, of, I'm comfortable writing and producing for others, but not so for myself, so I create these characters, and write for them, and then get on the stage and play their roles.
And yes, he made it to the point he was able to do what he wanted and if it was a hit, great, if not, move on. And to live to see himself the subject of a hugely succesful exhibit at major world museums. Gone too fucking soon.

I loved his 80s stuff, but Tin Machine sucked.

Clemson fans probably feeling a bit sad right now as well. They lost the last game. They are still winners in my mind though.
