liked it

I liked that this had more focus on Bowie himself, and his relationships to cities, people, drugs, etc. Specifically how they all converged to influence the creation of Low. Reading track by track tear downs is boring and tedious, so I'm happy that the author saved those for a brief visit in the last few (short) chapters.

BUT, I felt there was just too much lingering writing on his cocaine psychosis and black magic/occult hallucinations and obsessions.

If you're someone who read this, and is interested in Bowie's massive book collection, I have a Listopia list with a small sampling from the Bowie exhibit in Toronto
