Johnny Bacardi has posted his much-anticipated David Bowie retrospective. And… well, yeah, there it is. Turns out Johnny and I don’t have much in common in terms of our ideas about Bowie. (For example, I think Bowie’s 90s output is thrilling, that the instrumentals from Low and “Heroes” are gorgeous, that there’s a lot more going on on albums like Station to Station and Diamond Dogs than just “a couple” of good songs, that there are a few factual errors in the retrospective that a Bowiephile like me can’t help but quibble over, and so on.) But don’t lean on me, man–check it out yourself and see what you think. And while you’re at it, vada Bill Sherman‘s take on the former David Jones, centering mainly on an appreciation of the astounding album Aladdin Sane. Oh no, Bill, you’re not alone.
