David Bowie Outlaw
«
David Bowie Outlaw undoubtedly belongs with those few great texts on music that are equal to the wild glories that inspired their creation. It is as perfectly formed as a Mick Ronson riff. It's like the build from Suffragette City, funnelling and intensifying its own energies. You need to be a great act to pull off a thesis as bold as this: Bowie is a law giver but, unlike most law givers, Bowie’s law destroys the law: the only command is ‘create afresh’. Sharpe’s Bowie is a figure of ethics, or a spirit that knows its own wealth must be constantly squandered. This is not philosophy, this is not jurisprudence, this is a genocide of old ideas and dead forms. Here is the secret Sharpe shares with us: We are Bowie.
