I'm not a die hard Bowie fan, but I do appreciate his music, his many transformations, and his wonderful music videos (Ashes to Ashes springs to mind.) I've read other biographies of Bowie, and I didn't think there was anything more I needed to know. Then I saw this particular book on BorrowBox. The title intrigued me. I just had to know. 🎸
David Bowie and the Search for Life Death and God does exactly what it says on the tin. This is a deep dive into Bowie's search for spiritual enlightenment. It seems that he changed his religion as often as he changed his persona. Be it Buddhism, Gnosticism or Occultism, he tried them all. Not for Bowie organised religion. 🎸
As Ormerod takes us through Bowie's spiritual journey, he shows us how the different stages are reflected in the music. I'm afraid a lot of this went over my head because, as I said, I'm not a die hard fan. It still made for interesting reading though. 🎸
