David Bowie (1947-2016)

January 11th, 2016

I remember a few days after 9/11, I read something he wrote (he lived in New York, and was here when it happened) that was just so caring and thoughtful and appropriate. I haven’t been able to find it since, but it was one of the first things I heard that actually made sense at that time. 

Damn.

Thanks, David. My deepest condolences to Iman, Duncan, and Alexandria Zahra.

Oh, and this:

    I never saw him in a movie when he wasn’t terrific. A lot of musicians dabble in acting, and vice versa, but he could do both.

    I’ve been remembering how great he was in The Prestige. He played Nikola Tesla, and there was a big build-up, across several scenes, for his first appearance. I thought he’d go big, famous inventor as rock star, but instead he underplayed it. It was obviously the director’s decision to play it that way, but he carried it off beautifully.
