Today would have been David Bowie’s 73rd birthday. But, of course, he left us at the beginning of 2016, and I think I speak for everyone when I assert that life hasn’t been quite the same since. I’ve suggested it before, but perhaps he saw what was coming.
In any case, herewith a stylish clip someone put together that stiches elements from Nic Roeg’s “The Man Who Fell to Earth” and Chantal Akerman’s “News From Home,” a curious film I’ve spoken about here before, all scored by the inimitable strains of “New Career in a New Town” from Bowie’s Low. I think it works rather well.
Happy Birthday, Mr. B … wherever you are.
