David Bowie Biography Wikipedia

David Robert Jones; January 8, Brikston, England-January 10, Manhattan, USA-British rock musician, singer, producer, sound engineer, composer, songwriter, artist, actor. Quotes [edit] I always felt like an instrument of a certain highest power, but what exactly moves me, so far I have not understood. Probably, everyone sooner or later begins to guess that he does not live here for himself.

Realizing his involvement in something higher, a person turns to religion, to God. This is a beaten path, but even it is very important for understanding what is happening, because it proves: for the most part, people realize that they are directed here for a reason, but for some obscure goal. In any case, I very much felt in myself the vector of intendedness - NME, June, life - the plexus of many events in the probabilistic coordinate system.

I only observe what is happening, extrapolating individual facts and try to predict how their consequences will intersect in the future. In this sense, it is very interesting to delve into the past: you choose any sphere of human activity, you note some random events-say, summer prescription, and you begin to trace their historical consequences. For me now there is no more exciting lesson.

I constantly feel that in my life there is not enough any essential link, but which one-I can’t understand. One thing is clear: I am a toy in the hands of fate, which means I myself have the right to experiments with my own environment. The main method is simple: it is necessary to bring people to a state where they are simply forced to respond to me. I love shock tactics.

In my opinion, creativity that does not shock is devoid of any meaning. My experiments are not always pleasant; Some of them seem to me insulting and even dangerous to me. But to hear about your own "decaying influence" on the youth is simply funny to me. I must be deprived of “high responsibility” from childhood. ”I am not an intellectual - moreover, I am seriously concerned about the attempts of the American press to advertise me as“ an intellectual of a new wave.

”Who am I? I will try to form. Master of tactive thinking, let’s say. Yes, I will know the world. I am absolutely cold and indifferent to everything. But in this case, I ask myself, where does it come from - this stormy source of creative energy? I don't understand. David Bowie's songs do not belong to me - I only let them go through myself into this world.

Then I listen and amazed: their author, whoever he was, at least experienced strong feelings! I have not been given to know those. I am constantly in a state of internal numbness, I wander around the life of absolutely insensitive. I am not a man, I am an ice floe. When I suffer over the end of the verse, I resort to the last means - frank illogicality. You never be what you seem to.

Once in the eighties an elderly lady came up to me and asked: “Mr. Elton, will you give me an autograph? It seems to me that my audience does not really delve into the texts. The best porn is German. Their films are great. I will give you valuable advice. If you raise your elbows up during sleep, you will sleep much deeper than if you just lay. I often use this technique. I often change my opinion.

Today I do not agree with what I said yesterday. I am a terrible liar! In my youth, having read Kerouac, I began to study Buddhism.

I visited the Tibetan Institute of Buddhism and eventually found myself involved in an organization that helps refugees from India. In this country, people die like flies. I almost became a monk, but two weeks before dedication I spat on everything, went to the pub, got drunk and never returned to this institution. We started playing jam, which laid the basis of the song "Under Pressure".

We liked the motive. Everything was completed in a day David Bowie about the creation of the single “Under Pressure”. You just need to add water and mix a little. It is unlikely that anyone will remember me in a thousand years. Lord, I hate dancing. It's so stupid. Here, in New York, they often shout to me: hey Bowie! This is normal, it suits me. Because in London everyone shouts “Dave”, and for this I want to break their damn heads.

My name David, and I hate it when they call me Dave. I think, by the way, that everyone knows about it well. I never wanted to become an American to the end. Therefore, everything that I buy and wear is done in Europe. I love New York and I can’t imagine that I will live somewhere else. It is probably amazing that I became a New York, because I never even thought about it. I was not familiar with Charlie Chaplin.

But when I lived in Switzerland, he was my neighbor - or rather, his body. He was buried in the courtyard of the Anglican church, down the street from my house. And then some assholes stole his coffin in the year the coffin with the body of Chaplin was dug and stolen. It was terrible, especially since I knew his relatives - they were good people. No, I did not write Golden Years, the Bowie song created in the year.

There was talk that I needed to introduce me to Elvis and that we should work together, but it all did not end there.But I would be happy to work with him. By the way, once he sent me a note: “I wish you good tour and all the best.” I still keep her - after all, Elvis was not scattered by notes. Once I asked Lennon what he was thinking about what I was doing. He is suitable, he said, but it's just rock and roll, on top of which they put a little lipstick.

I so often came up with a new image for myself, which today it seems to me that I was originally a crowded Korean. I am often offered roles in bad films. And, basically, these are some demoniac fagots, transvestites or Martians. It is difficult to live in harmony with chaos. I have no sense of humor - this is the biggest misconception regarding my person. Probably once I really looked serious.

But this is only because I was then very shy. Actually, that is why at one time I attacked drugs. When you are under cocaine, you talk and smile at the three. It seems that it was me and Dennis Hopper - those who dragged the IGGI PACE drugs directly to the hospital. In my opinion, he was taken to the psychiatric department in M, and when we arrived there, all shit literally fell out of our pockets.

In fact, they are not allowed into hospitals with drugs, but we were crazy, and therefore we managed to carry everything that we had. I don’t even remember that we were experiencing something like fear. After all, there, in the hospital, was our friend, and we had to bring him at least something, because he had not had anything for a very long time. I did without drugs to go.

Not so little, right? And the most interesting thing is that all the things that I have ever done or tried to do was interested in me long before I became interested in cocaine. So, perhaps, drugs have not changed my life in any way. Although they helped me get into the dark corners of consciousness. Now I have become more balanced, that's for sure. But to achieve this, I gobbled up a million tablets.

In my youth I was terrible. I perfectly remember my first love: we studied at school together, and this was the first girl in the classroom, whose boobs grew up. It is very difficult to be a destroyer of morality in a world where there is no morality.
