@divegeester saidOn this we disagree, and that's fine.
So many artists go one (or more) albums too far, and this was true of Bowie.
As the Hassidics would say, "Different words for different ears."
Completely separate from his respectable decision to keep his condition private.
Bowie went out a lot more nobly than some others.

The Verve
(Best if played loudly)
- "Bitter Sweet Symphony"
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money, then you die.
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down.
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah.
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change...
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Well I never pray, but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah.
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now.
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now.
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change...
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
