I was never
a major David Bowie fan – but I do
remember with fondness some of his songs – Major Tom, China Girl and
Heroes. China Girl even had a New
Zealand connection.
But
yesterday I read an article about him and found out some special things about
him which would have made me much more focused on him.
Did you
know that he was a huge fan of books – he used to take boxes and boxes of books
on tour. In 2013 he shared a list of his
top 100 reads on Facebook. A music photographer who worked with him said that
Bowie would recommend reading Plato – not exactly what I normally expect of a
superstar!
He co-founded
an independent art book publisher called 21.
He was also
an artist in the sense of painting and print making.
absolute legend. one of many losses at the start of 2016

Thank you for the fun facts.
ReplyDeleteI was not a huge fan, but I enjoyed some of his songs. I totally agree, a one of a kind.

Interesting. I did not know those things about him either.
