When they say David Bowie was a chameleon, they weren’t kidding!
How many different ways did he reincarnate himself, how many different directions did he go, how many different people did he collaborate with….wow, just amazing. My favorite song will always be “Major Tom”, fave movie of his was “Labyrinth” (although he did a fantastic job as Nikola Tesla in “The Prestige”), and I will never forget being in slightly altered states seeing “The Man Who Fell To Earth” at the midnight movies…I’m not sure what was the movie and what actually happened. Good times…
There’s one song/video that he did with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails that was very haunting and seems to apply to our world today. I don’t think it ever got enough attention. “I’m Afraid Of Americans”:
