Six-page Bowie Retrospective In Esquire

Nothing’s gonna touch you in these golden years…

The Manifesto section of the January 2007 issue of Esquire magazine features a retrospective look at David Bowie’s career in the run up to his 60th birthday.

The piece, by Graeme Thomson, is broken down in to five sections across six pages, with a timeline filled with many lovely compliments, such as this one I’ll leave you with…

“How typical of Bowie to opt for the tough option; the route that offered the adventure (and risk) of innumerable, unsignalled forks in the road rather than the safety of a fixed destination. It’s that same fearlessness, as much as anything else, that makes him Britain’s one and only pop genius.”
