RAPTE-ME CAMALEÃO

Quem é David Robert Jones? Também conhecido como David Bowie, ele foi o artista que mais transmutou-se no sentido real da palavra.

Quando começou como artista, no final dos anos 60, Bowie ainda usava o sobrenome Jones, mas por causa das confusões com o homônimo Davy Jones dos Monkees, adotou definitivamente Bowie como nome artístico. Em 1967 gravou um disco de canções folk com influências psicodélicas. Mas foi em 1969, com o disco ‘Space Oddity’, que começou a ser notado, por causa da canção que intitula o álbum, sobre o Major Tom, na esteira do sucesso alardeado da viagem da Apolo 11 (que pousou o primeiro homem na lua).

No início dos anos 70, Bowie assumiu seu lado andrógino e praticamente divulgou o glam-rock para o resto do mundo. Com ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ ele aparecia na capa usando um longo vestido. Na sequência, o disco ‘Hunk Dory’ já trazia futuros clássicos da extensa discografia do astro.

Mas foi com ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars’, que Bowie explodiu como um sucesso mundial. Com a bem costurada e sensacional história do pop-star alienígena que tinha cinco anos de vida entre os humanos, Ziggy Stardust’ e sua banda ‘The Spider from Mars’, formada por Mick Ronson na guitarra, Trevor Bolder no baixo e Mick Woodmansey na bateria.

Bowie ainda encarnou a persona de Ziggy Stardust no álbum seguinte, em ‘Aladin Sane’, no qual retomava as aventuras do perdido Major Tom. Mas logo cansou-se do jogo de cena que era a interpretação de Ziggy e extinguiu-o. A partir daí, ele partiu para um som mais soul e influenciado pela obra de George Orwell, '1984', lançou ‘Diamond Dogs’. A partir de ‘Young Americans’, Bowie começa a se aproximar do universo pop. Essa fase foi coroada com o lançamento de ‘Let’s Dance’ em 1983.

Bowie também atuou como ator em filmes como ‘O Homem que Caiu na Terra’, ‘Furyo (Em Nome da Honra)’, ‘Fome de Viver’, ‘A Última Tentação de Cristo’, ‘O Grande Truque’ e ‘Labirinto’, do qual até compôs a trilha sonora. Pode-se dizer que a experiência de viver como Ziggy e atender a entrevistas como o alienígena, chamou atenção à sua persona e lhe rendeu futuros contatos no cinema.

Os últimos discos de Bowie têm uma pegada mais eletrônica, mas também não faltam referências ao seu passado histórico como artista. Seja em canções como ‘The pretty things are going to hell’ (que remete à ‘Oh! You pretty things’) ou na volta à temática espacial com ‘Hallo spaceboy’, ‘Looking for satellites’, ‘I took a trip on a Gemini spaceship’ ou ‘New killer star’.

David Bowie talvez seja o mestre da arte de se transmutar e de se reinventar. Sendo um verdadeiro camaleão.
