Blackstar
David Bowie (2016)
Top Tracks: “Blackstar”, “Lazarus”, “Dollar Days” David Bowie (2016)
I can point to the day that things in the world began to be fucked up, and it was January 10, 2016. Everything seemed pretty okay until then. Well, not really, but that’s the defining moment where shit got obviously worse. Bowie died that day. His album Blackstar had come out two days prior to that. I’d listened voraciously from the moment it was available. Bowie knew he was dying, of course, and in hindsight, much of the album is a goodbye letter. It’s an amazing piece of artistry and is a fine final musical contribution to one of the most iconic careers in rock history (May 2020).
