THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1976)

"People are so fucking dumb. Nobody reads anymore, nobody goes out and looks and explores the society and culture that they were brought up in. People have attention spans of 5 seconds and as much depth as a glass of water."

Also, by my count with ChatGPT 4 and 4o, and with excellent assistance from and the astute contributions of brookbee here, I found that Bowie composed in an astonishing approximate *71* music genres/subgenres plus an additional 12 that he incorporated elements of into select songs. Bowie also had what was arguably the most versatile, metamorphic singing voice in rock music ever, as well as skilled, expressive vocal technique, and an impressive 4.67 frequency-based octave range of G1- E♭6, a deep, low bass to a high soprano.

Bowie also had the seemingly intuitive ability to transform his musical influences and inspirations into works that were uniquely and resoundingly his own.

"…Like the miraculous moon landing that inspired the song, he drew us away from our suburban lives, expanding our horizons and turning everything on its head into gloriously subversive technicolor. As an innovative writer, performer, and rock star, there was no one and nothing else like him. He was truly unique, a quintessential visionary pushing the limits of his shapeshifting persona, the ultimate iconoclast; gracious, dangerous, and legendary. The legacy of his extraordinary sound and vision will be loved and revered for as long as the Earth still spins."
