As a self-concocted alien, he was drawn to other people’s otherness. Yet no matter how otherworldly and genderless he made himself, Mr. Bowie was aware that he was a white man. For MTV, he leveraged it. As a performer, he dramatized it. By the time of that MTV interview, Mr. Bowie had rerouted rock ’n’ roll toward R&B with the slink of “Young Americans,” his 1975 album whose high point isn’t the not-as-jaunty-as-it-sounds title song but the aptly named “Fascination,” some disco-dusted jubilation that he wrote with a young, unknown #LutherVandross. . Mr. Bowie had affixed an obviously blacker facade. Somewhat sheepish, he quickly labeled this foray “plastic soul,” a pejorative designation meant, in part perhaps, to insulate him from charges of inauthenticity. (To more than one black artist, it was Mick Jagger who was guiltiest of that charge.) But the phrase also suggested that anything Mr. Bowie sang could be construed as soulful. To that end, he appeared on “Soul Train” in 1975, a rare invitation extended to a white artist. During the interview with the host, Don Cornelius, a man in the audience asked Mr. Bowie when he got into soul music, and the partial, unserious answer — “We have street corners in London” — probably made it less fun to dance as he lip synced “Golden Years.” The next year, in a Playboy interview, Mr. Bowie dismissed “Young Americans” as the “squashed remains of ethnic music as it survives in the age of Muzak rock.” Perhaps as repentance, he spent his “Station to Station” tour in 1976 performing as an Aryan wraith he called the Thin White Duke. His tragically feeble Duke seemed like cultural atonement not only for his own sins (as he perceived them, anyway) but also for the muscular certainty of John Wayne’s Duke. Mr. Bowie was queering both masculinity and whiteness. In appearance, however, Mr. Bowie was a drug-den Frank Sinatra. During this period, he was often high and let the persona carry him away. As the Duke, Mr. Bowie made statements about fascism and Nazi gestures」1月9日 4時15分
