It is sad that he is no longer with us because he contributed so much to the world with his art yet it's comforting to know as that he lived an adventurous life. Of the unknown. He illustrated so many versions of himself which encouraged and still encourages artists and everyone in general to discover more of themselves. There is more to us all, each and every one of us. What also resonated from this interview was that he shared how he wasn't academically engaged but more so an creative. He had tried the educational route briefly but came into his own heuristic journey. Those aspects spoke to me and perhaps to almost everyone based on how they see themselves as for what they want to contribute to the world. It hits different when people who made an impact like David are no longer here. .. the retrospect shows greatly from this interview.

It’s amazing how obviously under the influence so many of these guests were back in those days. You see it now and again these days, but nothing like this. It isn’t even just the musicians, although they probably are the most frequently under the influence. They had it nice back in those hippie days. Free love and drugs in the latter 60’s, and then all of a sudden bam “that didn’t work, let’s sell out so we have plenty of good coke for the discos”. If you didn’t get into dope or other hard drugs and OD by the 80’s, you were getting old and partied out and just took your Valium, pain pills, SSRI’s, etc to get through the day while telling all the young people not to do drugs. I’ve seen so many hippies that totally reversed into yuppie corporatists and helped run our country into the ground. Carlin has a point when it came to the narcissistic baby boomers.

This is an excellent comment. It is insightful and concise. The lesson I take is that most results in your life are the culmination of whatever you have done up to today. If you spend your young adult years dedicating your efforts to something that produces nothing long term-even if it’s in the name of love and happiness-later in life you’re more likely to become resentful, jealous, demanding and yes, maybe narcissistic and angry. Edit: PS David Bowie is pretty much my all time favorite musician and Dick Cavett is the world’s best interviewer so that’s why I watched this...Cavett should have asked about life on mars.

FloydofOz thanks for the compliment. I also love Bowie and as a drummer his final album had me nerding out on the incredible performance throughout. ‘Tis a pity it was a bore.... nah, I actually loved the album as a work of art as well, but that’s what I would have said if I didn’t. I wish you the best and stay safe, my friend.

David Robert Jones (Londres, 8 de enero de 1947-Nueva York, 10 de enero de 2016), más conocido por su nombre artístico David Bowie, fue un cantautor, actor, multiinstrumentista y diseñador británico. Figura importante de la música popular durante casi cinco décadas, Bowie es considerado un innovador, en particular por sus trabajos de la década de 1970 y por su peculiar voz, además de la profundidad intelectual de su obra.
