In the midst of this newly conceived Dylan obsession, I read a compendium of every David Bowie song ever recorded. Well, most of it. I don’t like his later period (post-LET’S DANCE)… I just can’t get into any of the albums of the 90s and later. Too jazzy, or something. I do have his final album, BLACKSTAR, which I listen to respectfully, because it was his last. And I really felt moved to come to the end of this book and read about his final work, because of the way he went out. Bowie kept his illness secret from the public and never stopped working. He died two days after his last album came out. A lot of artists I love are dead, but the loss of Bowie really moved me.
