David Bowie

Although I never heard of him before Monday's class, I was happy we got a chance to listen to David Bowie. His song "Five Years" was really amazing and intriguing. The song was about the world ending which scientist have been trying to predict for decades now. His description of the last things he would do and see really cause on to think about what would they do if they knew life as they knew it was ending. One thing that I did not notice until it was brought up was the significance of the third section. With the end of the world being near chaos is bound to occur. So he has a woman, usually known as being a caregiver, attack children. On the contrary he has a black man, stereotyped as being violent, is the one protecting them. As the end of time he also expresses life regrets like not spending more time with his mother and kissing his "crush". It was a great song to listen to and he showed a significant amount of emotion.
