#art #history: born #otd in 1947, but always timeless - in spite of some of his earlier questionable dalliances - #bowie remains compelling. i hardly need to mention his cultural contributions, so i'll tell you why he stays in my heart.
1st: his refusal of an obe & of a knighthood.
2nd: insistence upon being cremated without any public hoo-ha.
finally: his chastisement of MTV - at the height of the channel’s popularity - for not playing enough black artists.
