Morales (18) ADIÓS, HOMBRE ESTRELLA This way or no way You know I’ll be free Just like that bluebird Now, ain’t that just like me? Lazarus Adiós, hombre estrella. Camaleón del rock, la moda y el arte en casi todas sus formas posibles. Poeta y creador de personajes. Filósofo y amante, misterio- so y bello transgresor. Adiós, superhombre. Hace 3 años el mundo se estremeció ante la noticia que estaba secretamente anunciada en Blackstar. A los dos días de su cumpleaños número 68 y del lan- zamiento del disco, David Bowie había muerto. El productor de casi toda su discografía, Toni Visconti, se dió cuenta de lo que estaba haciendo mientras grababan y le dijo –Astuto bastardo, estás haciendo un disco de despedida. David creía tener unos meses más de vida, pues se encontraba planeando nuevas canciones. Incluso frente a la muerte logró hacer lo habitual: revolu- cionar siendo un enigma. Mi primer contacto con Bowie fue escuchando el Tributo de Queen a Freddie Mercury, la canción Under Pressure con Annie Lennox. Mi papá –que en rea- lidad es fan de Queen– nos dijo que se trataba de alguien muy extraño, pero sin duda un genio. Yo le pregunté qué lo hacía extraño, a lo que me respondió que era alguien muy extravagante, pero que nunca había checado sus letras. ¿A qué se refería con estas palabras? Un día caminando en la calle Guerrero volteé hacía adentro de un ba- zar y vi un disco de acetato: CHANGESONEBOWIE, por sólo $80. Tiempo después, descargué su discografía: existía este disco que con- juntaba todos los sencillos y, desde entonces, me volvía loco con la rola 2 Fashion, por lo pegajosa y bailable que era, pero también con esa guitarra salvaje de Robert Fripp. Algo maravilloso de David es que cada persona lo ha conocido de diferente manera, gracias a que siempre se encontraba expandiéndose por la cultura, así fuera por decisión propia buscando coolaborar con los artistas que res- petaba, actuando en alguna película o por decisión de alguien más, siendo incluido en algún soundtrack. También está quien lo conoce solamente por Let’s Dance –canción que tiene cansado a su servidor, ya que existe una infi- nidad de composiciones que son mucho más bailables–. Gracias a aquella curiosidad me terminé embarcando en una maravillosa tra- vesía por su trabajo. Al día de hoy me encuentro entre los discos número 13 y 14, Lodger y Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), de los 25 que el camaleónico rockero grabó durante toda su vida. Cuenta la leyenda que Scary Monsters es su última obra maestra, pues después David optó por un sonido más co- mercial y se perdió un poco en los 80’s con resultados comerciales asombro- sos pero sin poder sacar un disco que volviera a ser un trabajo completo y vanguardista. Esto hasta su asombroso regreso con The Next Day y su triste despedida en Blackstar. También puedo decir que me adelanté a escuchar 1. Outside (1995), el cual es una joya escondida donde David, en su reunión con Brian Eno, consigue un sonido más electrónico y atmosferas totalmente perturbadoras. Esta misma curiosidad me ha convertido en un amplio conocedor del famoso hombre estrella. Por eso mismo el siempresabio cuerpo creativo de la Revista Enchiridion me eligió para la tarea de realizar una introducción a este pe- queño homenaje que le tenemos a Bowie este año, con un ensayo, una ilus- tración, un poemita y un rápido recorrido a través de los primeros 14 discos, además del GIF que se rifó el Nico Rico en un sólo día. Cabe mencionar que los queremos seguir invitando para que manden más material para postearlo en años venideros y poder hacer de esto una costumbre. El ensayo de Diego Alonso López se encargará de contarles el contexto his- tórico y social de David Robert Jones –nombre original de David Bowie–. 3 En el poema de Lorena Contreras encontraremos algunas referencias a la trilogía de Berlín y a una rola de The Next Day, donde nos invita a reflexio- nar dónde estamos y si seguimos siendo heroes. Después yo les ofreceré un recorrido de los discos y personajes creados por David hasta donde he po- dido presenciar, sintiendo que es el tributo correcto para lograr explicar sus motivaciones, sus ideas y su evolución a través de los periodos de su vida. Al final encontrarán la ilustración de Aurora Vizcaíno Ruiz, donde reinterpreta a Bowie en un estilo griego y lo sitúa en las estrellas. He reflexionado en lo suertudos que somos al haber nacido en la misma época que David Bowie. Aunque no podamos asistir a ninguno de sus épicos espec- táculos vivimos el resultado de su vida en nuestra sociedad. Nos leemos más abajo. LUIS F. MORALES 4 DAVID ROBERT JONES Y EL DESCENSO 1 DE UN ALIENÍGENA A LA TIERRA : CONTEXTO HISTÓRICO Y SOCIAL En la música todos los sentimientos vuelven a su estado puro y el mundo no es sino música hecha realidad. Schopenhauer Hablar de Bowie y su trayectoria es todo un reto que conlleva mirar diferen- tes aristas del mundo artístico y cultural que en los últimos cincuenta años han participado e influido para conformar el mundo tal y como lo conocemos. El transcurrir de los hechos, fenómenos sociales trascendentes, acompañado mediante la naturaleza música; ha sido una de las vías de expresión y distin- tivos humanos esenciales que ha establecido corrientes importantes de pen- samiento a través del tiempo. Mi misión es compartir a lo largo del texto datos muy puntuales sobre el con- texto histórico y social que llevó a esta figura de estrellas lejanas a trazar su sendero en este planeta llamado Tierra. La música Rock ha sido uno de los géneros musicales más sobresalientes del siglo XX, popularizándose de distintas maneras en muchas sociedades a nivel global gracias a su intensidad rítmica y proyección transgresora. Producto de una sociedad en constante cambio y movimiento, el Rock ha establecido a lo largo de varias décadas (desde mediados del siglo pasado) diferentes corrien- tes ideológicas y dinámicas sociales, donde el entorno musical ha sido la ban- dera impulsora de nuevos horizontes colmados de composición y producción artística. Cada uno de ellos basado en preceptos, esquemas e innovaciones que han dejado otros exponentes musicales, ampliándose a nuevas direccio- nes, géneros, variantes y sub-estilos que convierten el aspecto sonoro en algo único y significativo para los músicos, compositores y adscritos a este arte. 1. Conferencia presentada en Fonoteca Nacional de México: David Bowie “Cultura y Contracultura” Febrero 10, 2016. 5 Preguntamos de manera general ¿cómo surgió esta importante figura del Rock Pop mundial? y ¿de qué manera el contexto histórico social, político y económico influyó en la forma de ser de David Robert Jones además de ¿qué partes del mismo participaron en mayor medida para conformar y concebir un hombre diferente que devino en el ser autollamado David Bowie? Contextualizamos rápidamente. El género Rock se consolida al despuntar la década de los cincuenta del siglo XX en los Estados Unidos. Proviene de una vasta corriente cultural de música tradicional negra, tomando su base rítmica y estilos de ejecuciones músico-vocales. Construye así, una nueva propuesta que expresa y distingue a las clases marginadas de aquella época mediante el sonido del Blues, el Swing, el Gospel y el Rhythm And Blues. El nombrado rey del Rock blanco, Elvis Presley, cambió el esquema hacía una nueva dirección: introdujo una particular forma de interpretación matizada con movimientos corporales sugerentes, convocó a la generación de jóvenes escuchas mediante el lema Rock and Roll. En este sentido, cito a Federico Rubli: “… representó un auténtico mestizaje cultural. El Rock and Roll dejó la connotación de raza y comenzó a ser interpretado y creado por blancos por igual” (Rubli, 2007:50) El resto es historia. Estos fenómenos tomaron su forma en el espacio y tiempo; hicieron que la música reflejara parte de lo acontecido y en ocasiones por acontecer en los tiempos venideros. David Bowie es un ejemplo trascendente, ya que durante cincuenta años ha sido un ícono de la cultura popular en muchos de los tópi- cos que se abordan a lo largo de este homenaje. Continuamos con los siguien- tes apartados de nuestro contexto. Nos situamos en el continente europeo, en un Londres abatido aún por los estragos de la guerra. La familia de Bowie es parte de una generación afecta- da por la rudeza del periodo bélico. Habría que colocarse en los zapatos…, o difícilmente podríamos los aquí presentes, colocarnos en los zapatos de aque- llas familias que en el Londres de 1940-41, estuvieron al filo de la navaja confiándose a la suerte y al milagro de no ser alcanzados por la metralla o morir aplastados en los edificios. Necesariamente esa circunstancia tuvo que haber influido en el ánimo y en los caminos de vida que tomó el protagonista 6 de esta historia. En aquél ambiente de posguerra, el clima era desolador para la gran mayoría de la población, sobre todo para las nuevas generaciones de jóvenes como Da- vid Jones.

  • Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
    YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

From “Please Mr. Gravedigger,” the theatrical closing number on his 1967 self-titled debut album, to virtually every track on his final record nearly 50 years later, the protean musician mused perpetually on all matters of mortality: the loss of loved ones (“Jump They Say,” about his brother’s suicide), the apocalyptic end of the world (“Five Years”), his own impending passing.

    Title: The Girl from Beckenham Storyteller: Suzi Ronson Episode: Leaving, Loving and Coming Home Originally Aired: January 31, 2017 A note about this transcript: The Moth is true stories told live. We provide transcripts to make all of our stories keyword searchable and accessible to the hearing impaired, but we highly recommend listening to the audio to hear the full breadth of the story. This transcript was computer-generated and subsequently corrected through The Moth's StoryScribe (visit storyscribe.themoth.org for more information). I was born a few years after World War II, and brought up in a nice house in a typical suburb of Southeast London, Bromley, in Kent. My parents both worked. My father was a long-distance lorry driver and my mother was a shop assistant. They got married shortly after the war simply because that's what everybody did. The government gave generous allowances, and my brother and I both had free milk at school; a third of a pint in a glass bottle with a silver top. I don't think my parents expected too much of me after school. I think they thought I would kind of grow up, you know, have a bit of fun, get married, and have some children. The swinging sixties kind of changed all of that. I mean, we had the best music in the world. It was a great time to be a teenager: fabulous fashion, and the pill. Twiggy was my fashion model of the day, and everybody wanted to look like her. She was a tall, skinny girl with a flat chest and flat hair, and I wanted to look like her, too, but no chance.

David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text 1 David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text Jean Du Verger “The Word is devided into units which be all in one piece and should be so taken, but the pieces can be had in any order being tied up back and forth, in and out fore and aft like an innaresting sex arrangement. This book spill off the page in all directions, kaleidoscope of vistas, medley of tunes and street noises […]” William Burroughs, The Naked Lunch, 1959. Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.
