mad! Like he just stepped out of another world that no one could ever
comprehend. “Put on your red shoes and dance the blues,” the vertical beam of a
laser, slicing up suddenly through the atmosphere at the peril of commercial
aircraft. The restless journeyman “David Bowie” was determined to continue to
experiment through progressive jazz to bring iconic demons to life! He sung
very passionately with a lot of energy and a lot of conviction, his fans were
inspired by his true love of art! Bowie’s creative impulses never wavered
either, whether he was teaming up with transforming every era he ever hit into
a memorable masterpiece, he was always nicknamed as “The Picasso of rock &
roll.”

who was part of the conversation and was a creative genius to a new generation
of musician’s and style hopefuls. Often credited as cofounding glam rock, Bowie
has a knack for mixing the strange with the beautiful that captivates audiences
around the world. His image liberated young people who were just waiting to
think outside of the box. He made it possible for the next generation to go to
areas that might have been taboo before, giving them the freedom to express
themselves in music, artistically, and in dress-it wouldn’t have happened without
Bowie’s influences.

captivating he must put his soul there. Today, young men can put their own
