"Let us consider the lessons Bowie offers..."
Jim Carroll recently watched the "splendid" (his word) film about David Bowie by Brett Morgen, ‘Moonage Daydream’ (2022).
"It’s not a conventional biographical documentary. Rather it is a cinematic tapestry woven from sequences of Bowie in performance, in interviews and on his travels; with news footage of the time, and imagery that suggests the themes that interested him: isolation, marginalisation and change; fragmented modern living, a world in chaos and space travel.
"You get a real understanding of Bowie’s personal and artistic odyssey; his considerable intelligence, wit and charisma."
Carroll plucked 14 lessons from Bowie's life and work that are relevant to all creative people, starting with "1. Escape and Get Out" and ending with "14. Keep Searching".
