Dated a Brit, for a few years, in the mid to late 70's. She believed Bowie was the most beautiful human ever to live. I never really saw it. Always enjoyed his music and live performances. But, all these years later and after watching this. Kinda...Sorta understand where her head was, back then. Regardless, she is a fond highlight, of my life, that comes with a Bowie sound track. Oh, came here because of Ted Lasso.

Although Bowie confessed to not being academic, he was nevertheless well read and well informed. He was deliberately playing down his levels of intelligence and knowledge ; years later, interviewers would discover what a great intellect Bowie possessed.

To me it was always obvious how freaking intelligent he was. Just the astronomical amount of creativity he possessed put him on a different level and that’s intelligence too.

@@JPVanderbuilt - It was a draw as to who was the most emaciated-looking at their worst: coked-up Bowie in 1974-75, Johnny Cash in the mid-1960's when his pill addictions were at their zenith, or Alice Cooper in the early 1980's while in a combo of drink and drugs that nearly knocked him out permanently.

Bowie was incredibly intelligent. His songs are full of references to science fiction and philosophy. He went to art school and didn't have an academic degree. He didn't really need to be an academic, he was already so knowledgeable.
