A Sense of Doubt blog post #3634 - Love in a Doorway: HUGE Bowie Fan - BOWIE MONTH


I do not check notifications all that often. Or I just clear them without paying much attention to them.

But this one caught my attention:

I recognized it immediately from the opening lines of "SWEET THING" from Diamond Dogs: 

"It's safe in the city

To love in a doorway

To wrangle some screams from the dawn

And isn't it me

Putting pain in a stranger?

Like a portrait in flesh, who trails on a leash

Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely?

So I'll break up my room, and yawn and I

Run to the centre of things"

And so, I was enthralled.

A Bowie fan like me who selects some of the best lyrics for focus.

And then examining her Twitter feed I see she is using AI to invent a language for her children's book. Brilliant!

WHY A BIG FAN

I admittedly go a little bit 'off the deep end' when it comes to my fondness for David Bowie. Here are most of the things I've written about him in the recent past: https://t.co/JXlmWjxMgu pic.twitter.com/UiKdEHMPYP

And she has a blog about her Bowie love:

I believe David Bowie is the most musically metamorphic, accomplished, pan-spectrum creative force of all time—a pioneering and visionary talent with few rivals, who was comprehensively self-taught, fearlessly exploratory, and unmatched in his polymathic artistic genius.

Bowie’s expansive musical versatility can be seen as a kind of multilingual fluency. By my count, he composed in over 100 genres and subgenres, and each genre he explored was like a new language, with its own vocabulary, tone, and cultural resonance. But Bowie didn’t stop at just the broad strokes of genre; he mastered scores of subgenres as well—much like learning nuanced dialects of languages. This allowed him to inhabit each style with authenticity, continuously reinventing his sound.

I acknowledge that I can't claim 100% accuracy in my assertions. As a layperson, not a professional biographer, I offer these efforts solely from a heartfelt desire to convey David Bowie’s incomparably genius talent to those who may not be fully aware of it.

This is a more concise compilation hub of my blog articles:

I QUITE AGREE!!

I love new ways to articulate my Bowie love.

And she also has created 100+ images of Bowie with AI "with respect & reverence, not for profit, but to feel connected to Bowie in spirit."

So well stated.

The image above is one.

I will add a few others, but check out the entire set in the links below.

I confess. As big of a Bowie fan as I am, I had to look up "Time to question the mountain."

Now, I have a new lyric to love!

David Bowie - Seven Years In Tibet

From Earthling

Thanks for tuning in.

- Days ago: MOM = 3498 days ago & DAD = 154 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
