The Bowie Paper

Posted on Sunday 4 December 2005

I knew it was coming all semester, a final paper of 10-20 pages for my Popular Music class. I chose David Bowie…a fascinating character he is. 2 weeks left until I am no longer a student, and it is the busiest, hardest, most annoying 2 weeks of my life. I have had my nose in Bowie-books all weekend!

    All that page flippin’ made me feel your pain. Your videos have that ability. Good luck!

    I’m so glad I’m not in school anymore. But at least that’s a cool topic to study.

    I bet you can’t wait to finish, Josh. I had my last day as an undergraduate today. Feels good to be finished. Good luck!

    Glad you got to finish up school with a neat subject. I think my last assignment in school involved extrapolating medical data from some lousy Palm Pilot statistics program.

    I would have much rather been reseaching the return of the thin white duke.

    If you have to do a presentation, make sure you paint a red ligntening bold on your face.

    Time takes a cigarette puts it in your mouth

    You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette

    The wall to wall is calling it lingers, then you forget
    Oh you’re a rock’n roll suicide

    So what made you pick David Bowie? He’s one of all-time favorite artists in any media.

    That was a sweet video. Nice editing. It sais so much with such a simple imagery of flipping pages.

    Love it

    First of all, I really like David Bowie. Second, the way you did this was very creative (I think David Bowie would like it :) … another one for richards picks … you should post the paper
