Haunting, enigmatic, simple and beautiful his pensive face projected on to a puppet in Bowies new recording, "Where Are We Now?", on his 66th birthday, some may call it with a mesmerizing, enchanting, elegiac tune.His voice sounds older and more world-weary but not frightened to put something new out and he appears to be almost biting back tears as he looks back on his life in Berlin. Didn't he who turned down a knighthood his best work in/about Berlin bringing it now all back, though not in a hackneyed way? His Berlin in a time warp. Berlin as it was then, as it would be now, as if all these weird intervening years had never happened. Does he coming to grips with his own mortality, trying to make a sober assessment of his time on earth and the value of life itself as he approaches an farewell-exit? A shallow fool "Major Tom" age bracket continue a clueless life in a fog trying to hang on to his youth doing Ziggy Stardust redux..?
Is David Bowie back - but where has he been in the rain- a one, brilliant class act that cannot be followed even by himself? "Finger are crossed -just in case" [http://autoimg.clipfish.de/autoimg/USRV31300001/512x288/david-bowie-whe\ re-are-we-now.jpg]
