Bowie: A Biography
December 13, 2024
David Bowie, the legend and the man, died this year, 2016. The vacuum left by his passing is felt profoundly by his fans. I originally read this book and reviewed it in 2013. As I sit and edit it, Bowie's beautiful final album, "Blackstar" is playing in the background...
The first vinyl records (Remember those? Big, round, black, shiny disks with tiny grooves that played music when you put in on a turntable and dropped the needle down? I know, I love them, too...) I ever bought were Journey's "Escape", the self-titled album by Madness ("Our house in the middle of our street..."), and "Let's Dance" by David Bowie.
I still have them, somewhere; most likely tucked away on a shelf next to my parents' surprisingly hip vinyl collection. I grew up listening to Tom Jones, ABBA, Three Dog Night, The Guess Who, the Kinks, the Beatles: not a bad soundtrack for my childhood.
While I liked Journey and Madness a lot, throughout the years my fascination for Bowie grew and matured in a way that didn't happen for most of the other bands and singers I had in my record collection. (The Police will always have a place in my heart, Jackson Browne was a memorable fling, and the Pretenders still kick ass, but I'm not sure what I was thinking with Rick Sprin
