Hey, idk if you´ll get this as I know comment notification is a bit shoddy at the moment, but anyway. I want to ask you something and there´s no e-mail on your profile, so this will have to do.
I´m writing an essay about Bowie for a collection of academic essays about Hetersosexuality in Popular Culture, and looking for Bowie biogs that present interesting and informed opinions about this issue in Bowie´s career. It doesn´t particulaly matter what their view is, I´m looking mainly for very different ones, and especially ones that have a bit of analysis or interesting sources. Could you recommend me a few? Just reply here or leave a comment on my journal, I´m not fussed. Thanks!
Well, as soon as possible, preferably. I am busy doing general research of music/glam/aesthetics now, then I'll move on to texts about heterosexuality and camp, and in the mean time I'll be analysing music videos and pictures and songs and stuff, reading interviews, etc, but I'll probably need to order the bios online and it might take a long time. The deadline isn't for ages but it's an 8000 word essay so I'll need to start on it soon.
I forgot to ask if you know anywhere (online or text) that provides analysis of Bowie's lyrics/videos/pictures/clothes, too.
Living On The Brink (focuses on pre 1976 coz that's when the author knew him)
In terms of lyrics/videos/pictures/clothes... I dunno I'd have to have a look thru my pile o books, hey I'm an Areaologist not a "bowie" fan... I'm sure some of this is covered in the above list. I need all the room my brain has available just to remember what his dick did and when... 8-)
