ShadowPlay<p>Fast forward to <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Blackstars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blackstars</span></a> and <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Revelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revelations</span></a>! I hope to leave this world listening to this song (and <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Lazarus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lazarus</span></a>). So much is revealed in this video on a <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Gnostic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gnostic</span></a> level. And yes, that is a <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Cthulhu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cthulhu</span></a> -like being harvesting the sacrifice. And the skull of <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/MajorTom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MajorTom</span></a> being worshiped in a dark future. I mean seriously... Why not worship <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/DavidBowie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DavidBowie</span></a>? It makes about as much sense (or more) than following most made-up religions (and yes, they are ALL made up).</p><p>"Something happened on the day he died / spirit rose a meter, then stepped aside / somebody took his place and bravely cried / I'm a <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Blackstar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blackstar</span></a> / I'm a Blackstar...."<br> <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kszLwBaC4Sw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=kszLwBaC4S</span><span class="invisible">w</span></a><br><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Gnosticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gnosticism</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Thelema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thelema</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/PostThelema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostThelema</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/ChurchOfSaintBowie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChurchOfSaintBowie</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/BowieMass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BowieMass</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/BowieMas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BowieMas</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FeastOfSaintBowie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FeastOfSaintBowie</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Bowienalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bowienalia</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FridayNightMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FridayNightMusic</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FridayNightMusicVideos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FridayNightMusicVideos</span></a></p>

Nick<p>It’s David Bowie’s birthday and he would have been 77. I still feel very raw over his death, probably because of things that had been going on in my own life, and those dark January days.</p><p>Anyway, let’s focus on his life and music. I’ve been listening to The Stars Are Out Tonight quite a bit, and it strikes me as being quite similar to China Girl in parts.
