David Bowie in Dinah Show 1976

13-year-old me was onto something with the Bowie obsession, actually. Thank God I was never bullied out of listening to him, though I have some pretty embarrassing memories of people making fun of me for it - telling me he sucked and various other things my autistic self wasn't taking lightly at all. I remember crying alone while sweeping the floor at a summer camp while the others were playing because I had just been bullied - well, Bowie had been bullied, but it was an obvious attempt to get at me. I must have been insufferable with my obsession, but as I look back on that period I remember so much joy and excitement. He really turned my life around. He gave me a joy I had never experienced before; he took me by the hand and made me take my first steps as a conscious person in society. He opened the gates of endless culture for me. It's as if I only started being a living, breathing human being after he shocked me awake and made me see people and art and music in a way I could never have done on my own at that age. I fucking love Bowie. ​Whenever I listen to him now that I'm 23 (I've started putting on his records again after a long hiatus) I am taken straight back to those sunny summer days where I would lock myself in the bathroom and read about him instead of studying. Funnily enough, that taught me more than any school textbook ever did. The visual world he gave me was such a playground for a curious young me. I loved his strange beauty and his fascinating way of expressing his artistic persona through clothing, artful pictures, and theatricals. His music videos were a wonderland I happily let myself get sucked into.

​I really became conscious of how important the music itself was a few years later, when I dug into the Berlin trilogy and started learning more about the craft rather than the macrocosm surrounding the artist. From then on, my musical journey has been spectacular, exciting, and fulfilling. It keeps going on and on, and every day I'm more in love with music. ​I don't know who I would be had Bowie not changed the trajectory of my life. What I'm sure of is that I'll never stop loving him, and I'll never forget how important he was to me - no matter what music I find now that I might consider "better" thanks to my trained ears and specific taste. Because he started it all.

Today has been quite a long day—I had both a doctor’s appointment and an MRI scan. I was extremely anxious about the scan since I don’t handle loud noises well. Did you know an MRI machine gets as loud as 110-130 dB — the equivalent of a jackhammer? They provide you with noise cancelling headphones and I used doble protection as the technician let me keep my loop earplugs on. Still, it was really overwhelming (but I managed to get through the entire test in one sitting by singing Space Oddity in my head on repeat). Now I've got a bit of a migraine, tho.

How are you guys doing? 🚀👨‍🚀
