I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.

It's much easier for me to say that, the kind of music I didn't listen to was pretty much that. I mean everything, from jazz to classical to popular. And Tibetan horns were a great part of it in 1966, '67.

It is entirely possible to create something totally artificial within the realms of rock and roll.
David Bowie
Image
A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle. The rock stars have assimilated all kinds of philosophies, styles, histories, writings, and they throw out what they have gleaned from that.

Listen to me, don't listen to me. Talk to me, don't talk to me.

It's true - I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me.

David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.

However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.

Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am.
David Bowie
Image
People don't get a chance to think, Why am I a consumer? Because the decisions come at them so fast and furiously, they're not [even] given time to think, I am a consumer.

There's a terror in knowing what the world is about

I can ask for cigarettes in every language

Is it Nice in your snowstorm- freezing your brain? Do you think that your face looks the same?

If you come from art, you'll always be art.

Sexuality and where it is going is an extraordinary question, for I don't see it going anywhere. It is with me, and that's it.
David Bowie
Image
I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It's such an expressive form of popular music, it's so real, it's got so much life: it's the most vital music in the world.

You can begin really looking for a relationship . . . when you can (appreciate) the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.
