Understanding David Bowie

I am going to be posting more. This is just the beginning of a journey in Bowieland!!!
 

Thank you so much for posting that, Ruthanne! :) As soon as I saw your link I hoped it was that interview, which I saw on TV all those years ago. I was thinking about it recently and I couldn't remember which talk show it was or what year, all I could remember was that precious sweet story about his daughter and the moon. So good to see it again.

Now I'm off back to watch the rest of the video!
 
I'll contribute a link too:

"Ziggy Stardust" from David Bowie: Live By Request, in 2002, on A&E. I watched the show live that night.


Here's the full show:
 
Did you ever hear how David Bowie met his wife? Well somewhere along the way I did and it is a lovely romantic story.

I heard that he spotted Iman on a commercial on television and he basically said, "That is the woman I want to marry" and he set out to find her, I suppose contacting the modelling agency, and the rest is history. Maybe that is covered in the biography video but I haven't had a chance to view it yet.
 
I think he had one of the more inspired lives in modern music. Apparently he didn't have any formal training but still became a singer and actor. He had some rough years there but then cleaned up nicely. Even at the very end...you know you have only months to live and get a Broadway show, music video and new album all wrapped up first.

I agree. He did very well after all the chaos in his life.
 
In many of David Bowie's song he is referring to an actor in his music and mainly that actor and Major Thom are David Bowie and his life at the time.
 
There are many more albums on youtube if you want to search them out. They are there. This is on his last album:

Lazurus:

 
His title song on his last album, Blackstar:
