The fat, Butlins entertainer from Take That. Painful stuff but I committed to listen to every album thrown at me. This was my biggest test yet.
Springsteen trying to be Dylan. It's ok though
I never used to like Bowie when I was growing up. I saw him as the arty middle class bloke in amongst the grungey grimy image I wanted from my rock stars. Then I heard Ziggy stardust and it completely changed my mind.
Since then I have fully immersed myself in all things Bowie. An incredible artist in the true sense of the word. Constantly reinventing himself and someone who expressed a true love of life both through his art and how he seemingly lived his life.
In amongst all of that reinventing there were lots of things I didn't particularly care for. His later 80's and 90's phase was mostly not for me. The Next Day is somewhat a return to form. However, this album is just truly incredible. He sounds like a fresh artist at the peek of his powers. Add the context that he knew of his impending death and this is one of my favourite pieces of art ever created. The music video to Lazarus gets me every time. Full of gut wrenching symbolism. Allied to the fact that very little was known of his illness at the time, this was a fella completely devoted to his art form and art in general. True greatness and someone who single handedly changed the way this planet looks. He truly left his mark. Much respect Mr Bowie.
