Day 363 | Rebel Never Gets Old

Today is Bowie’s 70th birthday and the one-year anniversary of the release of Blackstar.  While reading self-reference into a Bowie song is often a trap, this fun mash-up of “Rebel Rebel” and “Never Get Old” from Reality was pretty clearly a late-stage statement from Bowie that he was just getting started.  Tragically, he was wrong. While this song preceded his death by more than a decade, the health issues that sidelined him for most of that time were just about to hit.
