Ch-Ch-Ch Changes
The death of music legend, David Bowie (January 8, 1947 – January 10, 2016) surprised his fans who learned he’d continued to make inventive, original music while living with cancer. Imagine the drive, desire and need to honor his creative genius while under the enormity of such a personal struggle.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes was a reflective song about defying your critics and stepping out on your own. It became an anthem for teenagers in the 70s (like me) who were looking to find their place in life.
David Bowie, an artistic creature to his core, forever morphing, practiced what he preached — fearless and challenging art — right up to the end of his life.
His final anthem, Lazarus, according to Tony Visconti, the producer who worked with Bowie to complete his last album, was a gift to Bowie’s fans. “His death was no different from his life – a work of Art.”
To have such control of life until the flame goes out, should not only take all our breaths away, but propel us to create the life we are meant to live. Fearlessly. On purpose.
BE F-G AWESOME TODAY!
