Bowie mattered to me. He reinvented himself so many times – it must have been a daring statement to do that, risking failure. And hanging out with him and seeing him like that – he’s my dad’s age, born in the same month – when you find someone who’s been through a really dark period, which most of his music I care about is from, Low, Lodger, “Heroes” era…. But he came out of it and made something that mattered.
