We Could Be... Bowie and His Heroes by Tom Hagler
2.0
Man, I really wanted to like this book.
1. The title. I get the reference to Heroes. But 95% of the stories in this book are about Bowie being someone’s hero not the other way around.
2. Why were there so many stories of Bowie being a jerk?? I want to hear the good things, not to leave the book liking him less.
The last section, Years 2005-16, was by far the best. As much as this book disappointed me, the ending was certainly done right. The last story perfectly encapsulated Bowie and made the final words of the Thin White Duke’s story even more devastating.
