Cool analogy also.

Bowie was freaking god like. I would loved to have seen him live.

Thanks for passing that on.

Has somebody collected all the bits of wisdom of Bowie somewhere.
This man is, once again, hitting it out of the park in this brief video.

That part of feeling something inside yourself and trying to find a way to manifest it.
Must be my midlife-existential-crisis talking on Christmas day or something but the “What exactly AM I right now and how do I manifest that?” has been the theme of 2024 for me.

Dear Bowie… I think he’s one of the most sorely missed artists/intellectuals of the past 30-40 years. He’s always seemed to me to be someone who managed to accumulate several lifetimes’ worth of experiences and wisdom in only so many years he spent among us.

Also, especially in the longer interviews or quotes, he always comes off as a really down-to-earth and practical person despite his image of being a “chameleon”.

As for his opinions/ideas, these are my favourite ones:

  1. His 25 favourite albums. Original article published in 2003 in Vanity Fair can be found here (behind a paywall). A transcription of the original article (free) can be found here.

  2. Bowie’s “heroes” in his own words can be found here.

Wise word from Bowie there… I’m going to write them down and tape it to a wall in my cave…
