David Bowie

Rate this book
David Bowie est sans doute le musicien le plus innovant et influent de ces quarante dernières années. Du glam rock de Ziggy Stardust au Plastic Soul de Young Americans, il a toujours refusé l'immobilisme. Non content d'expérimenter le Heavy Metal dans The Man who sold the world et de mettre en danger sa popularité avec le minimalisme austère du synthétiseur dans ses années berlinoises, Bowie a trouvé le temps de jouer dans The man who fell to Earth et Labyrinth et a aussi eu un rôle important dans le succès de ses amis Lou Reed, Iggy Pop et Mott the Hoople.


Les commentaires explosifs à propos de sa sexualité, son comportement addictif, et ses déclarations politiques controversées (désavouées ensuite) ont contribué à en faire une icône mondiale.
Bowie étant Bowie, chaque étape musicale s'est accompagnée d'un nouveau look et souvent d'une nouvelle personnalité. Bien que septuagénaire, le pape du rock'n'roll fourmille encore de nombreux projets, les yeux résolument tournés vers le futur.

This has been my coffee table book since I got it for Christmas. There isn't a lot to read, but what is there is worth reading. The pictures are fantastic, and I often thumb through the pages just to look at them again. This book is for anyone who loves or appreciates Bowie.
I became a Bowie fan after discovering my Dad's Bowie CD's back in middle school which began my ongoing obsession with Bowie; my dad is also the one who got me this book!

A very short read, but it feels like more of a photo book of David Bowie from the beginning to recent times.
