this guy was a fascist and nazi sympathizer?
So you're just gonna post this about a dead man without including any sort of evidence to back it up?
this guy was a fascist and nazi sympathizer?
so?Here is the infamous Nazi salute pic from back in the day:
Here is a nice quote to go with those pics:
“Britain is ready for a fascist leader… I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After all, fascism is really nationalism… I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership…Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars…You’ve got to have an extreme right front come up and sweep everything off its feet and tidy everything up.”
According to his biographer he had a fascination with Nazism:
But it was also an apt description for the decadent, emotionless character the rock star was becoming, smartly dressed in aristocratic Thirties style with slicked-back hair and by now obsessed with Nazi paraphernalia. His fascination with Hitler’s Third Reich started after a concert in LA, when one of the town’s most famous British expats, the writer Christopher Isherwood, went backstage with the gay artist David Hockney. Isherwood had spent time in Berlin in the Thirties, writing the novella Goodbye To Berlin, which inspired the hit musical Cabaret.
Addicted to excess: From reverence for the Nazis to an insatiable appetite for drugs and sex, a new biography of David Bowie portrays a man even more outrageous than his reputation
He told Playboy:
BOWIE: Rock stars are fascists. Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars.
PLAYBOY: How so?
BOWIE: Think about it. Look at some of his films and see how he moved. I think he was quite as good as Jagger. It’s astounding. And boy, when he hit that stage, he worked an audience. Good God! He was no politician. He was a media artist. He used politics and theatrics and created this thing that governed and controlled the show for 12 years. The world will never see his like again. He staged a country […] People aren’t very bright, you know? They say they want freedom, but when they get the chance, they pass up Nietzsche and choose Hitler because he would march into a room to speak and music and lights would come on at strategic moments. It was rather like a rock ‘n roll concert. The kids would get very excited – girls got hot and sweaty and guys wished it was them up there. That, for me, is the rock ‘n roll experience.
From Cameron Crowe’s infamous Playboy interview with David Bowie, circa September 1976
He also moved to Berlin thereafter
As crazy as it sounds I don't even know who David Bowie is, rip nonetheless.
If you're black I can understand.
i couldn't name a song from dude if you paid me, just know the name and what songs i've heard in this thread
26, when people on fb said he died I was like who??? Someone post a vid of one of his most popular songs.How old are you? I don't see how that's possible, he's one of the most legendary music icons of all time
that's what's crazy...hip hop sampled so much of his music..
Did you even read that article you quoted? The girl was a career groupie and in that era everyone was higher than a kite (including her). I'm sure she let her trophies know that she was underage.
I'm black and enjoy David bowies music. Knew about him back in 2010-11cashbanks did you just use being black as a reason for not knowing who David Bowie is
And then being a hip hop head not knowing who David Bowie is
puttin the blame on a child?Did you even read that article you quoted? The girl was a career groupie and in that era everyone was higher than a kite (including her). I'm sure she let her trophies know that she was underage.
