LEXINGTON COMMUNITY EDUCATION presents Changes: The Many Faces of David Bowie

For nearly 50 years, David Bowie embodied the spectacle of Rock and Roll, taking elements of theater, art, fashion, and pop and fusing them into some of culture’s most iconic personas: Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and The Thin White Duke.

Bowie’s recent death on the heels of his critically acclaimed last album Blackstar completed his lifelong trend of creating a personal mythology, and undeniably secured his unique place in music and cultural history.

This evening, author and critic Peter Bebergal will present a multimedia presentation on the many faces of Bowie, and how a multitude of diverse influences coalesced into a rock legend, and music that has, and will continue to be, a vital and lasting influence.

Peter Bebergal writes widely on the speculative and slightly fringe. His recent essays and reviews have appeared in NewYorker.com, The Times Literary Supplement, Boing Boing, The Believer, and The Quietus. Bebergal studied religion and culture at Harvard Divinity School, and lives in Cambridge. His latest book is Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll.

The event will be held on Thursday, May 12th at 7:00pm at the Lexington Depot, 13 Depot Square, Lexington, Massachusetts. The cost is $10.00.

Pre-registration strongly recommended. To register, using a VISA or MasterCard, please contact Lexington Community Education at 781 862 8043.
