With over 30 of the most revealing interviews Bowie has given in 45
years, Bowie on Bowie tells the story of Bowie's restlessly
inventive career in his own words. Over the decades Bowie has
always answered honestly and articulately in interviews, analysing
his own past and trying to explain the motivations behind his
latest persona. Bowie was the first artist to regard the interview
as a means of artistic expression in itself and this is as close to
an autobiography as he has come. In 1973, Martin Amis wrote in the
New Statesman, "Bowie himself is unlikely to last long as a cult".
The 'cult' of David Bowie has now lasted for several decades and
while Amis's piece is not included in Bowie on Bowie, there are
over 30 interviews and profiles that document his changes. Widely
regarded as a revolutionary influence on writers in fashion, art
and film, as well as music, he discusses the full extent of his
interests in these revealing interviews, drawn from NME, Melody
Maker, The Face, Q, Mojo and GQ. Sean Egan has compiled Bowie's
most revealing interviews into a riveting commentary on 50 years of
personas and styles, tracing each step from Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin
Sane to The Thin White Duke and into the elder statesman that Bowie
has become. This essential collection of 50 years of interviews
from Rock's most restlessly creative spirit is as close to an
autobiography that Bowie has come. Bowie came to fame at a time
when rock journalism came into its own, and he came to see
interviews as another opportunity for artistic expression. Some of
rock's greatest writers are included in this collection, Robert
Hilburn and Charles Shaar Murray to Allan Jones and Steven Wells
alongside an interview with Alexander McQueen, the fashion
designer, all of which reveal the extent of Bowie's interests over
the decades with a rare articulacy and thoughtfulness. Few
musicians have had the wide-ranging influence Bowie has cast over
writers, fashion, art and film as well as music, and here is the
ultimate introduction to Rock's most distinctive voice.
