This morning I woke up with about 15 messages on my phone with the news, twitter and announced the magazines to which I subscribe confirmed it : Bowie's dead!
Say your physical absence is painful and unfortunate death. No more shows, movies or new albums. The White Duke marched silently leaving a vacuum noise who will enjoy their songs.
Death came, as always unexpected, although Bowie's genius, it seems that it was calculated to bid farewell with grace and authenticity. Lazarus seems a statement of his last days and reflection about their existence. It is true that I have never been a huge fan of Bowie but always enjoyed all the art that I had access to it. This kind of musicians do not need extreme admiration of the masses, anyone stop their creations immediately sensed the genius of its author.
Until then Bowie!, Either by the loyalty of your true fans or the re-examination of your discography and legacy to the next generations, those who one looks at the showbizz and recognizes your influence will live through your music . After all, it was one of the artists with more credibility in the industry, a visionary in the service of their integrity and good taste.
The more predictable death is real, it happens to the living, we are not prepared to accept it. And is that Bowie did not age, is not sick, each disc was a reinvention of it, a sign of latent youth. Close your eyes and listen to any of his 25 studio albums, running into his psychedelic folk, rock glam who led his decanting by soul, funk and jazz and see how all this appeared subtle and elegantly expressed in his work, it is a sample of the timeless of his compositions and the reason our brain refused to see Bowie aging.
His departure is the beginning of eulogies and refresh his discography, is to recapitulate that which is in force and that the search showbizz in his suicide was away and his followers progressively grown amnegados proudly through the years.
Long live the Duke Blanco! and ring non - stop music. Lazarus gave the signal of departure, now we must feed the pain with David Bowie sound that left us for ever and ever.
