DAVID BOWIE - PODCAST TRANSCRIPTION

David Robert Jones was a rock star who was born in Brixton, England on January 8, 1947 and died the 10^thJanuary, in 2016. 

  

 He started his career singing and playing the saxophone in small locals and high schools.   At the end of the 1960s he started recording, and in 1967 he took out his first album.
    Its song “Space Oddity” reached number five on the charts in the UK. In 1970 he published the album “The Man Who Sold The World” in which he offered an androgynous image for a trend (glam).
    Bowie's songs generated a futuristic atmosphere, where there were nods to American rock. In 1972 began the great cycle of transformations that characterizes his chameleon personality:
In “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust” and “the Spiders from Mars”, he plays a bisexual rock star from another planet. In Great Britain the criticism of this grew up, and Bowie decided to turn his career around. He set out to conquer the American market with Young Americans (1975), an album that rose to the top of the sales charts.

    In 1980 Bowie began at that time the period of greatest commercial success of his, but also the one of more adverse criticism. 
    I have chosen him because he was a wonderful musician and person. I think he is a very important icon for the LGBT community because he showed something that at that time was not so accepted and it helped to a lot of people.
