As we promised in our last article, we will discuss David Bowie this time. David Robert Jones was born on January 8, 1947 in the Brixton section of London. Here he lived until the age of six when his family moved to Bromley in Kent (now part of Greater London).\u00a0He lived with his parents until the age of 18.<\/p>\n

He claims that his first goal in music was to play saxophone in Little Richard<\/a>‘s band. Initially he played the saxophone, but by mere chance he could also present himself as a singer, when he replaced someone in a London club. In the first half of the 1960’s he was the member of several blues bands: “The King Bees”, “The Mannish Boys” and “The Lower Third”. Bowie’s greatest strength has always been his ability to change easily, thereby advancing the future of postliminary music styles. In his early era he played blues and Elvis-like music.<\/p>\n

David Bowie has sometimes been presented as a chameleon artist, the term regularly reappeared when evocation took place. He adapted his work -in particular his music, if not completely- to modes and tunes of the time, but having an acute awareness of putting his individuality in it.<\/p>\n

The music hall, the hippie folk, glam rock, soul<\/a>, funk, pop, electronic music, jazz have been some of the genres that he addressed, giving them each time a color, a personality. His voice passes from the caresses to cry in many shades, suggesting a form of drama in the expression.<\/p>\n

Over the years he also endorsed the costume of characters, possible duplicates. The dandy, elegant, quiet young man from the beginning begins to play with travesty in the late 1960’s. His most famous character for the general public, Ziggy Stardust<\/a>, will be an avatar of the rock star with glitter in the rise to fame and fall.<\/p>\n

He will appear with a face ornamented with a colorful flash for Aladdin Sane; he will be a kind of pirate annunciator of punk when transformed into Halloween Jack; he will be then the Thin White Duke, probably the closest to what he saw then, in the late 1970s, undermined by a significant cocaine consumption; before doing up his face into Pierrot lunaire in the early 1980s…<\/p>\n

It is very rare that a person has eyes with different colors. This phenomenon is called heterochromia. However, David Bowie did not have heterochromia: it only seems on some recordings that he has one blue eye and one dark (brown), others clearly show that both eyes are blue, one is still darker and the “red eye-effect\u201d has a greater impact on it.<\/p>\n

Bowie’s left eye is really darker and this is due to the constantly dilated pupils. This state is called anizocoria<\/a>: it precisely means that the pupil of one eye is dilated continuously, that is to say the pupil does not react to light, it does not narrow when it is exposed to stronger light. So while the pupil of the healthy eye narrows and lets you see the (in Bowie’s case blue colored) iris, while the other eye remains dark. That’s why Bowie had such asymmetric eyes.<\/p>\n

Is fame a real adoration towards the given star or is it just a pretended enthusiasm for someone? Stars come and go, people are very sad after their death, but what it takes to rest forever in the mind of people? Bowie’ cold elegance lingers still around. His subtle sentimentality left a deep impression in our minds. Here are the best 6 songs of this outstanding artist:<\/p>\n

6. Starman<\/h2>\n

\u201cI made sightings six, seven times a night for about a year when I was in the observatory. We had regular cruises that came over<\/em>\u201d, declared the singer in an interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

David Bowie was really into the UFO topic.\u00a0His fascination for the subject became to intensify during his teenager years. The lyrics describe Ziggy Stardust bringing a message of hope to Earth’s youth through the radio, salvation by an alien ‘Starman’.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a starman waiting in the sky<\/em>
\n He\u2019d like to come and meet us<\/em>
\n But he thinks he\u2019ll blow our minds<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
