DAVID BOWIE 01 APRIL 1975 â 02 FEBRUARY 1976 - (NSFW) A comic by Sean T. Collins + Isaac Moylan which endeavors to make sense of David Bowie's rather strange road to and from Hollywood, somewhere between shutting down the Spiders of Mars and finding himself in Berlin.

Jesus. I saw David Bowie's name with a date next to it and thought the worst. Dang. Got the old ticker pumping.

But does it explain his Saturday Night Live performance from 1979?
I think I just realized that there is a large percentage of allegedly grown men today who take 'Boys Keep Swinging' as their serious anthem.

Sorry, but I went to that Bowie exhibition the other day, and I'm fairly sure that that period of time NEVER HAPPENED.

Good stuff! The Soundtracks of The Man Who Fell to Earth is a recent video essay covering some of the same period, but IIRC it too benefits from an NSFW tag.
