It is David Bowie's day, a proof of philosopher's teaching that the day one dies is one of the three important days of a human's life. Everywhere one turns on the television or pick up the newspaper, the report is about the exit of the singer and movie star. He seems much alive in death and has seemingly put cancer to shame.
Like the David in the scripture, whose exploit against Goliath is legendary, this David has with songs done to death what the exploit of the earlier David did against Goliath.
Born David Jones, Andrew Newman, writing in the Facebook, traces the Bowie's change of a monkee. What has the monkee got to with this? The curiosity leads to Bowie's official website for confirmation.
Truly, there was another David Jones - the lead singer of the Monkees, who was well known, according to Bowie's biographic page. To avoid confusion with an already well known singer, the name 'Bowie' was adopted by the just departed David Jones..
After reading from the beginning to the end, you read that he truly and actually changed his name, became David Bowie in 1966, made an album in 2013 titled "Where Are We Now?" and followed by another one titled "The Next Day". Between the time he began p[laying in the 60s and the time he made The Next Day, he was virtually everywhere singing and making movies.
Born on January 8, 1947, the show began for Bowie when he was 13 years, with a Saxophone in hand and a request to Ronnie Ross, for lessons. The Rolling Stone magazine wrote about him that his music was not just to represent his innovations, but to symbolize modern rock in literacy, art, fashion, style, sexual exploration and social commentary. He wrote and performed what he wanted and when he wanted, and thereby elevated music into an art form.
The journey to stardom began in 1969 with the Space Oddity. In 1972, the GQ editor, Dylan Jones, wrote of the landmark "Pop of the Pops" that the "Space Oddity" that appeared on No 5 United Kingdom chart as the piece that turned Bowie into a star. By July 1999, Bowie had turned into a big oak in the music world, when was voted the biggest music star of the Century by readers of the Sun newspaper.
Bowie's creation of the Ziggy Stardust is described as one the most spectacularly innovative live shows and that the attention that accompanied it represented the earnestness of Bowie's superstar stature. By the next summer, Bowie's production with Lou Reed led to a hit Walk on the Wild Side - a fairy tale of the dark side of New York. He also worked in collaboration with Ziggy and produced Raw Power with the Stooges. Additional work from Ziggy albums like The Idiots and Lust for Life confirmed his stardom status.
He was movies like Nig Roeg - a science fiction from The Man Who Fell to the Earth. He released Alladin in 1973 inspired by his experience in the United States, his adopted country.
Reported as having been downed by cancer and was out of circulation for 18 months, the Bowie's new location away from this earth was announced on Monday, a reminder of his album Where are We Now and The Next Day. Of, course, there must have been celebration in the home where Bowie was born 69 years ago. There must have been singing and dancing the day that he got married. But for the load of work that he put to life between birth and death, his ovation at death is not surprising. and certainly must be louder than the one at his birth and marriage.
