“The reason why so many people are touched by this news is because he touched their personal lives.” Yes, precisely. I quite literally would not be who I am if it weren't for the music of David Bowie.
Same here. I was so very impressionable when I first saw David live. I had just turned 13, just become a teenager, officially. It was the springtime of 1976 and there I was facing The Thin White Duke, in person. He opened with Station to Station, and he later admitted that he was literally casting a spell with that mesmerizing, enchanting and quite long song. Yikes (I knew nothing of Crowley nor anything like that way back then)! But his plan worked so well! By the end of S to S, I was completely hooked and my life was never the same.
I met him briefly once in 1977 as a 18 year old, a dream come through, my father was recording in the Hansa Studios in Berln and I literally ran into him for a very brief small talk, what a kind and very funny guy. . In my early years I was all Prog and did not like David's stuff, today at 65 I have all his albums and needed to literally grow up; to understand the power of this man's music and lyrics. There are no words for David Bowie, he was Hero for every day
Still sad that he is gone, but like all great artists, he still lives through his work. A magical, mercurial being touch our souls with sound and vision. RIP

He ch ch changed the world for the better. When he departed, the world gradually changed for the worse because we lost our hero. Now “heroes “ are full of hate for people who are different. Such a huge loss.
My father was a manager who was required to travel overseas frequently when I was young, one of the first gifts I remember that he gave me upon returning was a David Bowie cassette and have loved his music ever since.
It’s all about ideas. All of it. He’s decent. Always. And even honest. He never had reason for shame, so he never lied. Good man. Miss him being alive in the world.
From the very first Bowie song Ive ever heard when I was abot five or six years old (which was the title song of the movie Labyrinth) I knew that he was an otherworldly artist. That fascination reached its peak when I was a teen - and I never climbed back down from that peak. His music helped me through hard times in life. And his views on life and arts helped me through an identity crisis I was going through the end of last year. It even pushed me into my own direction of becoming an artist myself. Now Im writing books. I owe this man a LOT! Many people dont even understand what an outstanding artist and human being he really was: Clever, talented, intelligent, funny, charming, honest, humble. The late Bowie (especiallly in the early 2000s) was incredibly down to earth, settled and content. I once had the chance to go to one of his Reality tour concerts - but declined. A decision I will regret til the day I die. I also think that the term "charmeleon of rock" was a HUGE misconception of what Bowie really was. Since charmeleons change their appearance to blend in so they dont get noticed. Bowie was a pioneer in creating personas, blending styles, mixing existing things and creating something new out of it. He never blended in - he STOOD OUT.
God, I miss him. Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got to. It’s gone citation Joni Mitchell. When I first heard Ziggy Stardust, I thought it was great, but there was an aspect of homophobia that my friends imparted to me and I became confused because it was something I liked, but it was “gay.“ Well, I outgrew all that, and have a sincere appreciation for this special and unique individual that we were gifted to have in our lifetime. He’s right up there with John Lennon in terms of the impact their death had on my psychological being. Thank you, David for all the entertainment. You provided us while you were with us , and that you still provided us in spite of no longer being here in person. Peace.
From an absolute beginner to a really Hero, always under pression David Jones, once Tom Jones, found his own Star. Black or White, doesn’t matter. He was and still is a GENIUS!
Thank you so much for this.................................................................................................................................

A nice attempt and it sounds like you really like the album. I look forward to seeing your reviews as you grow and learn. Research is your friend. Keep going. Tip. Keep the imagery to the album/period you are discussing👍
That one clip at about 34:00 had me rolling. The interviewer has a look on his face like, "this is some first-class bullshit." LMAOOOOO I would point to My Chemical Romance and its front man, Gerard Way, of a modern example of staying true to an artistic directive. Gerard has been very outspoken of his adoration of Bowie, and I think he took some of his cues from him and has stayed the course.
Any real documentary on Bowie would be hours and hours long. I bought the Moonage Daydream documentary when it came out and was sorely disappointed that it made it look like Bowie's career ended in the eighties. I don't think any single film could do justice to him, his life, personality, work or what he truly meant to his fans
*Most people just take, David just gave !* *It's a shame, that he never did anything with Nina Hagen, that would have been a total blast, in my eyes, they're like brother and sister ;)*
nah. He took a lot, left and right - but also retributed. Just think of him supporting black artists, minorities, Iggy Pop and resurrecting Lou Reed almost singlehandedly.
Take this doc with a grain of salt. There are some real whoppers. For example, the Thin White Duke was not based on The Man Who Fell to Earth as the narrator claims. If you listen to the lyrics of Station to Station you’ll understand with Kether to Malkuth pinpointing the domain of his transformation.
he was never an "actor," and forget those "characters." . his characters felt high-school drama -no deep message, no relatable flaws, often faintly irritating and indulgent. .what he was, though was a great rock musician with immense musical depth, killer hooks. . forget the "character" stuff-that was just him 'wanting to be an artist', but he already was one-a rock 'n' roll artist, and that’s fine. .

Okay. I'm six minutes in and I'm done with this. If you're going to put together a documentary about someone - or anything, really - get the facts correct. Vince Taylor was NOT The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, Norman Carl Odam was. Vince Taylor did have a mental breakdown and was the inspiration for the character of Ziggy Stardust, but not the name. Odam's stage moniker was where Bowie got the last name for Ziggy. By virtue of the fact that they couldn't even get the facts straight on the origin of the NAME of Ziggy Stardust, God knows how many other ones there are.
Dont forget Eno's influence on him Its higly underrestimated. Without Eno bowie would be a mediocre showman. The out of world image was made by brian eno. Like he did with many bands.. Like Roxy music U2 and 100 s more of them.

He approached music like a painter or sculptor. Artistic. He never repeated himself. His distorted, nonsensical lyrics always made sense to me.
He’s still out there. A Shooting Star
Magical always..David Bowie created so many personas…being like no other..but truly himself..🦋⭕️🦋⭕️🦋⭕️
What an absolute fucking legend.
✌🏽❤️💛🖤🎶🇦🇺😪😪😪 I'm so overjoyed to have met Mr Bowie, in my hometown of Melbourne 😪😪😪🇦🇺🎶🖤💛❤️✌🏽
BOWIE = IRREPLACEABLE GENIUS THE BEST IMO
Annnnnnnnnd I'm crying.
Que gran pérdida,sin Bowie no es lo mismo.
From an absolute beginner to a really Hero, always under pression
David Jones, once Tom Jones, found his own Star. Black or White, doesn’t matter.
He was and still is a GENIUS!
He will Always be there, that`s the comfort.
Thank you so much for this.................................................................................................................................
Life On Mars was released as a single in 1973, not 1972 as stated. Of coarse originally recorded for the ‘71 album Hunky Dory.

No mention of PinUp or Diamond Dogs. The two ignored and forgotten Bowie albums.
Nah. Diamond Dogs told in bucketloads in America. PinUPs was a tribute album. Fillers, basically.

23:41 Did we just ditch aladdinsane, diamond dogs and young Americans and go straight from ziggy to the duke? 😆
Because this is a shoddy documentary made by non-fans.

Bowie = R O C K G O D
Ziggy was my favorite
Vince Taylor was not the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. The Legendary Stardust Cowboy was, in real life, Norman Carl Odam, an American. Also crazy.
Met MR David Bowie KingsX Sydney
Just think of how everything went downhill after he died…..

Bowie's dead. Sorry very sorry. Ideas do live though.
After Bowie had succeeded in his gender-bending propaganda, he seemed lost...hence....TIN MACHINE!
Dont forget Eno's influence on him Its higly underrestimated. Without Eno bowie would be a mediocre showman.
The out of world image was made by brian eno.
Like he did with many bands..
Like Roxy music U2 and 100 s more of them.
Or was he just following the success of KISS.... from an English point of view ?
Bowie's first album was released in 1969, 3 years before KISS got together.
