Some time ago I learnt that crime investigators discard suicide when there is evidence of recent plans for the future. Thinking of that, I started to look at the attitude of people as they become older and it seems that you can perceive when they are no longer challenged (or stimulated). Anyway, one thing is true: decline you cannot avoid, and time, in spite of any corollary from Einstein's theories, for us, mere mortals, moves forward.There are theories that your brain starts turning to mush when we are no longer challenged or stimulated.
I don't have proof except some examples of people I've known. I would like for it to be true since I have a pretty active brain. On the other hand, it could be a slow process and, for someone who appears to not be challenging themselves and withering into the background could, in reality, be someone who is already afflicted by brain diseases.
One thing I didn't know about that song is that John Lennon himself helped him with the background vocals!I like Bowie's song "Fame" and I like playing it when we have a series of earthquakes here in the San Francisco area.
I'm sure people said that about Mozart. The very talented will express their talents in the tools of the day in ways we can't imagine. The raspberry pi is the tinker toy of my youth. Most people will just make a few things with it but those with the talent will build something not in the instruction manual.With the state of the world today, I fear we will never experience music as it once was and will be forever subject to pre-manufactured autotunes... just like raspberry pi projects mentioned above.
Yes, there was already a discussion somewhere that Bowie was no BethovenI'm sure people said that about Mozart.

Mozart was a rascal of a talent much like Bowie.Yes, there was already a discussion somewhere that Bowie was no Bethoven
Wasnt Motzart just Bowie of his time?
