Musical opinions

Here are some opinions for you. They are regarding David Bowie, who was a famous singer and is dead. He died sort of recently. In any case, I watched a movie that he had provided the soundtrack to although it was hard to really discern the music in the movie. So later, I decided to listen to some various songs of his. The short of it: they were weird. I am not quite sure why he got so famous. He seems like him as a person and also his music was weird. Michael Jackson could also be described as such although there are a couple songs of his that I think are actually halfway decent and not horrible weird. 

If anyone would like to convince me that David Bowie is worth my time to listen to more, I welcome you to try. As it stands, I don't have a particularly interested impression of him. Also, I think he was kind of creepy looking, in a bad way. This could also apply to Michael Jackson post-plastic surgeries. Still, a song like Man in the Mirror is actually fairly decent and makes me feel like dancing even though I don't really know many songs of Michael Jackson. On the other hand, the songs that I listened to of David Bowie just made me think that they were weird. 

So, for the time being, my opinion is that David Bowie is overrated and he looked strange and his music is/was weird. It doesn't exactly fit with a genre that I can easily discern, but maybe that was the point of it? Who knows. I think I may have read somewhere that Muse have been influenced by him, but I might be misremembering and even if I'm not, it doesn't show that much in their music which is a good thing. Sure they have a number of songs about apocalyptic subject matters but at least those songs are enjoyable to listen to. 

For the final thing in this post, I will mention that one of the models I like had a picture taken of him (I think for a magazine or something) where he was made up to look like David Bowie. I wonder what he (the model) thinks of David Bowie.
