Recenzii
No rock critic- living or dead, American or otherwise - has ever written about pop music with the evocative, hyperpoetic perfectitude of Rob Sheffield
In Sheffield's hands, pop music is more than an object of cultural consumption - it becomes the language through which to navigate and negotiate his most intimate moments
Sheffield uses music the way some people use scripture-to elucidate and sanctify the mysteries of life. He raises teen angst into high art that is funny, charming, and profoundly pleasurable
INNOVATIVE. REVOLUTIONARY. BRAVE.
Right up to his death in January 2016, David Bowie created art that not only pushed boundaries, but helped fans view themselves and the world from new perspectives. Being a Bowie fan was a lifelong adventure like none other.
When the shocking news of his death on January 10, 2016, broke, it inspired a massive global outpouring of grief. That's when the world found out the artist who created Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and the Thin White Duke had been secretly battling cancer. He dropped his final masterpiece, Blackstar, on his sixty-ninth birthday - two days before his death. This was an artist who never stopped changing, never stopped experimenting - right up to the end, as he faced his mortality by turning his death into a work of art.
In On Bowie, Rolling Stone journalist, bestselling author, and lifelong Bowie fan Rob Sheffield writes a love letter to the artist who touched so many lives. Sheffield explores the crucial moments of Bowie's career, from his scandalous glam-rock breakthrough to Blackstar, and delivers a passionate celebration of this artist and his music, from 'Space Oddity' to 'Let's Dance', from 'Heroes' to 'Blackstar' - summing up why he remains unforgettable.
