Song title: Station to Station
Artist: David Bowie
Year: 1976
Why I like this song:
And so, with my explorations into David Bowie, we reach this: An infamous period in the man's career, where he was coked out of his mind making an album he would never recall making and the emergence of the Thin White Duke persona.
Listening to Station to Station now, it certainly is a challenging one, being weighed down with paranoia and sinister intent. And yet at the same time, it is a compelling listen.
It may not make a positive prospect to make something engaging when you're on drugs and paranoid so why does David Bowie get a pass? Well, when you tear up the rulebook you can get away with anything.
