Music Legend David Bowie Highlights
By: Lyndsay Brown
Music legend, David Bowie pasted away (as many may already know) on Jan. 10, 2016 as he suffered from Liver Cancer. I feel the need to express how David Bowie as an actor and musician touched my life. I also want to expose his strength, and passion he exhibited during his battle with Cancer as he completed a new album, and music videos before his departure from earth. After David Bowie’s bad news broke, I watched some tribute videos etc. and noticed some interesting aspects about David Bowie that I did not know prior. Below are my David Bowie highlights.
David Bowie is a household name especially for the “older” crowd, I know about David Bowie’s music from my elementary years while my parents and/or older sister listened to his music during parties. Also, a fun fact about me is one of my favorite childhood movies was Labyrinth with David Bowie. David Bowie was an actor before he made it big in music. Although, music is what most people remember him for.
The fight with Cancer did not stop his artistic ambitions…One thing about Cancer is that if you’re losing your battle with it medical professionals can guess-ta-mate the amount of time you have left on earth; that must have been the case with David Bowie (but, I don’t actually know). It seems like in his last stretch of life he really wanted to leave his mark again in the most fascinating way…by leaving his fans a new album titled “Blackstar” and music videos for “Lazarus”, and nine minute long “Blackstar”. The album was released on David’s birthday on Jan. 8, 2016 two days before his passing. The music video for “Lazarus” released on DavidBowieVEVO Jan. 7, 2016 shows images of him in bed saying “look up here, I’m in heaven” thus giving the impression he knew his time was limited; a powerful example of his work ethic, and stimulating character. These releases make me think; I would have loved to ask him why he covered his unique eyes in the last two videos.
Some of the things you may not know that David Bowie said in past interviews, and to which may have created change in the music industry are: Did you know that David Bowie put MTV on the proverbial ‘hot seat’, by questioning their lack of broadcasting music by Black musicians (he didn’t think this was justifiable!)? Did you know that David Bowie loved to make jokes? Did you know that he didn’t like to go to award shows if the award shows policy was to give away the award in an absence (he didn’t feel the award was sincere!)? Finally did you know that David Bowie made music in almost every genre, and was sampled in Hip-Hop? The above noted, widens my respect for him as an all-around great guy, and blessing to the evolution of the music industry as a whole. Salute R.I.P.
