  • I cut all the Bowie bits out of the Michael Apted DVD and put them all together. I hope you'll excuse my poor editing, I still suck at that. I left the end-credits on, thought it was only fair : ) Please enjoy! : ))

    this man was and still is unparalleled in his approach towards art and life. he was such a monument of humanity. a pioneer of creativity, a sacred vessel that kept on giving and giving until he could not physically give any longer. i am eternally grateful for his spirit. he moved me and still does to this day. i hold his words safe, i keep them in my heart. authenticity is what this world needs and what it has lost since he died.

      Well you have more to pull inspiration from as you age. That’s the way you should try and develop, use your experiences to grow as an artist. Most people these days aren’t really artists or at least they aren’t free enough to be one. A lot of artists seem to be in bad contracts and probably don’t have enough creative control, and the ones that seem to be, aren’t really original. They’re interested in pushing an image forward instead of any substance.

    The whole DVD might be really great but this series of cut out is fantastic, and even the 'poor' editing is adding spice to it. Because i did not read your description and had no idea it was a cut out from whatever, and so these glimpses of other poeple around creating were great illustration of life and creativity at work,... and adding a very tiny bit of nonsensical disturbing chaos in the editing, given the topic (which I thought was Bowie Inspiration) did not harm indeed. Thanks twice then.
    I love his words on what being an artist is about..... "Always remember that the reason you initially started working is that there is something inside yourself tht you felt that if you could manifest it in somehway you would understand more about yourself and how you coexist with the rest of society" ..... and..... "If you feel safe, ....always go a little bit further, ....when you don't feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you just are about the right place...." Bowie, Be my Father!

    Bowie did a little dance with the female dancer you see in the end in 1989 on stage and then filmed it for his 1990 world tour. so he did that too in his career.
