“I
don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be
boring,” David Bowie told an audience at Madison Square Garden on his
50th birthday. It’s probably the quote that will be used most today to
pay tribute to the singer/songwriter, who died of liver cancer yesterday
at 69, and it’s a fitting tribute to the man whose music kept
everyone–even himself–guessing about what was next.
It was Bowie’s strangeness that, paradoxically, made him the beloved figure that sold millions of records and headlined sold-out arena tours. In writing, there is a trick that the more specifically you describe a person, the more deeply certain readers will identify with them–finding the universal in the particular. That is what David Bowie did better
