	David Bowie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bowie is commonly known as the chameleon of pop, predicting trends and adjusting his style and persona, while holding on to his own ideas and creativity.

		By this time Bowie was heavily dependent on drugs, especially cocaine, and many critics have attributed the chopped rhythms and emotional detachment of the record to the influence of the drug, which Bowie claimed to have been introduced to in America.

	David Bowie
		Bowie's usual cleverness and sense of theatre come through clearly, and it's a lot of fun; the sci-fi epic "Saviour Machine" and the riffy, off-kilter title track are good examples.
		Bowie's first serious misstep as a mature artist, this is a collection of tepid cover versions of mid-1960s British rock songs (the Kinks, Pink Floyd, the Who, the Yardbirds, etc.).
		Bowie certainly helped his cause in the early 80s by touring, appearing in films, and jumping on the MTV bandwagon, but what really makes this Bowie's big comeback record is the quality of the music.

	David Bowie: Hunky Dory ---Ink Blot Magazine
		David Bowie began performing music at the age of 13, when he learned saxophone, which he played in a number of unremarkable bands until 1966, when he began to release solo singles on Pye Records.
		Bowie hit his stride in the early '70's, continuing throughout that decade to experiment with a variety of styles and personas to serve his changing musical moods.
		Somehow, Bowie pulls off all of these styles with equal aplomb, lending his remarkable songwriting ability to each number and never allowing the style to outweigh the substance.

	Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Musicians
		And Bowie has chops; his style is quirky, to be sure, but grounded in fundamental jazz concepts of melody, harmony, and rhythm.
		Bowie's various bands have included From the Root to the Source -- a sort of gospel/jazz/rock fusion group -- and Brass Fantasy, an all-brass, post-modern big band that's become his most popular vehicle.
		Bowie's music occasionally leans too heavily on parody and aural slapstick to be truly affecting, but at its best, a Bowie-led ensemble can open the mind and move the feet in equal measure.

		Bowie returned to the mainstream in 1980 with Scary Monsters, and the '80s and early '90s saw the release of five more albums and the formation of his band Tin Machine.
		Often heralded as David Bowie's signature album and the one that saw him crowned the king of glam rock, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is indeed an album of enormous influence and cultural significance.
		Bowie also explores the androgyny and sexual experimentation of the time in the rocking "Suffragette City" and the melancholy "Lady Stardust," a tribute to Bowie's brother (or sister) in glam, Marc Bolan.

	David Bowie
		Less than a year ago MTV jocks, the rock press, the radio stations and the music trade journals were rife with predictions that David Bowie, after a three-year-hiatus from both recording and performing, would be back strong in 1983.
		Immediately following the Bowie article, which was written by the dubious Jay Cocks, the magazine's editors have placed an article on music entitled "New Rock on a Red-Hot Roll: Sizzling sales have record execs dancin' in the suites." I think the boosterist title is sufficient indication of what the content of the article is like.
		This guy is what Bowie himself would call a "vampire drug creature of the night." And Paul's quite obviously got his Bowie impersonation down to a T. He's got Ziggy Stardust hair; a Thin White Duke suit; a pair of The Man Who Fell To Earth bracelets -- he's got it all.

		Bowie also was forced to undergo five leg surgeries in that span, all while Air Jordan was beginning his ascent to legendary status.
		The initial links to Bowie developed largely because of Durant's presence in the draft as a potential superstar scorer from the perimeter, immediately prompting comparisons between Portland's Oden-or-Durant decision and the choice in '84 between Bowie and Jordan.
		The Blazers elected to select Bowie at No. 2 even though he had already undergone a major leg operation during his time at Kentucky, believing that he could overcome the injury and that they were covered at Jordan's position with Clyde Drexler and Jim Paxson.
