We Can Be Heroes: The Radical Individualism of David Bowie

We Can Be Heroes: The Radical Individualism of David Bowie

Utilizing song lyrics, interviews, biographical resources, and commentaries from a diverse range of writers and artists, 'We Can Be Heroes' follows the strong thread of radical individualism running through David Bowie's work and life, exploring its parallels with the ideas of such diverse figures as Friedrich Nietzsche, Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Ayn Rand, and Aleister Crowley. Bowie's legacy is also compared with that of his successors, such as Madonna and Lady Gaga, a contrast that demonstrates that his philosophical foundation, largely absent from the work of these and other more image-oriented performers, has guaranteed his body of work the sort of longevity usually only accorded to authors and visual artists. Bowie kicked off a one-man revolution in self-actualization. This book examines its substance and implications.
