A musician with a bright acting talent
A musician with a bright acting talent - it's something terrible. Most of his game reminiscent of a kaleidoscope: the style of Beatles to the style of hard, the style of hard to style glam, from the style of glam to the style of glamor, the style of glamor to the style "Noble Classics" ... In brief pause between changes - some leather jacket and the dead eyes. Frankly, it is very difficult to attribute all of its images some period of: identifying subject only been signed photos. The rest were under the one marked "admiration».
Actually, it was an ordinary boy from a poor English family, whose name was David Jones. Only the teacher to complain about him, though, and noted a fairly decent singing ability. It was immediately after the war - London was poor and the singing it does not complain. The boy grew up, changed his name, was "a chameleon of rock music," Iman married ... Yes, of course I am referring to David Bowie.

David - a unique musician. The number of songs that he had written and the number of images, which he played on stage, more than ... Do not even say that ... Just exceeds. Most of his songs are very melodic - but, in the androgynous image he created for himself, too much harmony. Of course, this contributed to the high growth, thin, expressionless face, thin arms, a tall, "smooth" voice ... decent boy from a good family. Here such.

In the charts, he burst in 1969 - after years of hard work. It was the work primarily intellectual. Bowie - thinking musician. He then any song - with meaning.

And even then he revealed his bright, nature does not recognize the brakes. Stop on the way of Beatles? No really. Thinking no experiment - like food without salt, will not go.

Bowie began experimenting. Below - his images of those years. Oddly enough. But it's flowers were all a little "pristrelochka" - then he was just looking for your image.

In 1972, David created his most memorable and the most famous image of the hero - Ziggy Stardust. This is such Crank, which fell to Earth and can not understand what it is, and why, and what is happening around in general.
Ziggy trying to fulfill themselves in the world, but that can happen to an androgynous and romantic essence in this violent world? Only tragedy. The album sold more than anything - Bowie became megapopular and have never lost this position.

Naturally, during the breaks, he lived on a grand scale: whiskey, clubs, girls, but never stopped working.

It's 1973 - everything is changing.

In 1975, he had already forgotten about Ziggy created a new musical style and began working with Lennon - together they once again conquer America.

This period Low. Just the time that remains in history as the "golden time of Bowie" - then he recorded his best stuff.

But this he appeared in the Soviet journals in the 80s. Even I remember that his manly appearance - and a few records about spiders from Mars. The sound was absolutely breath-taking.

No wonder that Bowie had the greatest influence on the artists of the second half of the century. The mere fact that he beat almost all areas of rock that had existed since 1970, and took even a little jazz - has left its mark. But the main thing else - unlike many others he had no meaningless songs. Each was about something.

In the 90s, Bowie continued to experiment. By the time he has already starred in several films, and he continued to do it. The images were no longer space, but still strange.

Of course, during this time he had to spend and ordinary man. Manly and simple, reliable, and understandable, just an Englishman of good old London.

Only in this Englishman always hiding another Englishman - one that always looks weird.
![]()
And yet - one that someone similar.

And another one - who writes funky music. His Ziggy Stardust will always be one of my favorite songs. That's exactly what I was listening to when I was 15.
And it now looks as Bowie. Sometimes:)))
