They say he turned identity into art. That he predicted the internet. That he is unforgettable. And it’s true. This is all about David Bowie.
He was never just about the music. He was about the aesthetic, the psychology, the sound — the entire world built around it. And let’s face it: he was one of the most influential musicians and cultural figures of the 20th century.
