It took me to where it is peaceful, and I think the record reflects this. It’s more direct.” Revisit Pitchfork’s 2018 interview “Melody’s Echo Chamber on Her Comebac...

DAVID BOWIE’s 75th Birthday Celebrated With ‘Sound & Vision’ Web-Exclusive Retrospective

The visionary’s catalog of conceptual personas encompasses the likes of Aladdin Sane, Major Tom, the Thin White Duke and, perhaps, most recognizable of all, Ziggy Stardust. Yet, the life lived by the mortal behind the mask provides an infinitely more enigmatic and compelling subject as Morrison Hotel Gallery brings the Starman’s 75th birth year to centerstage with “Sound & Vision”, a web-exclusive Bowie retrospective as seen t...
