I just finished this book by music journalist Paul Morley. He wrote this just after Bowie died after having curated the David Bowie Is exhibit that we saw in Groningen. The book is really an extended essay, but it covers a lot of detail of Bowie's life and included a lot of details I didn't know. There are so many biographies of the man out there and others may have more details of people he worked with and how he made his music. This mainly focuses on Bowie himself with some details of those closest to him.
He is a fascinating character and Paul is obviously a devoted fan. He details some of his early experiences of hearing him. He talks about the exhibition too and how he spent time there (when it was in London) doing some writing and talking to fans.
It may be worth a read if you are a devoted fan, but perhaps not for the more casual reader. I found it hard going at times as the prose is fairly dense.
I keep track of what I've read on Goodreads. Maybe one day there will be a Steem-based equivalent.
Rock on!
