One hundred words about David Bowie now

 


In 2012 a friend and I began listening to every Bowie album from Space Oddity to Scary Monsters. It was the first time I’d played a Bowie album since 2003. When The Next Day and Blackstar were released we listened to them immediately.

I wouldn’t describe myself now as a David Bowie fan. I think I stopped being a fan in 1974 soon after I’d heard Diamond Dogs.

Now five years after Bowie’s death I’ve been revisiting some of those records and re-living the memories from that fan life. It’s been quite interesting. Also nostalgic, sentimental and a little inspiring.
