BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

The Chameleon has passed away (How sad it is for the world of music!)
David Robert Jones was born on 8th of January in 1947 and died on 10th of January in 2016, because he had cancer. His nickname was David Bowie. He was an English singer, songwriter, record producer, painter and actor. Apart of being singer, he played some instrument like the guitar, the saxophone and the keyboards. He was considered by critics and other musician as an innovator. He made hard rock, heavy metal, soul, psychedelic folk and pop music.
He made a lot of good studio albums such as ‘Heroes’ or ‘Never let me down’. He also made very good songs like ‘Let’s dance’ and ‘Heroes’.
I have never heard him before his dead, but I like his songs and I will listen a lot of times his songs. It is a pity that I have known him when he has died, but there a lot of famous people who had gone through it.
I hope in the future there are more people like him.
David Bowie has been one of the greatest character in the rock's history. He was an performer and composer, but he was also the key piece to relaunch essential names in rock, such as Lou Reed and Iggy Pop and the Stooges.
David was born in January in Brixton (England) and he died the past 10 January. His first musical taste was jazz, he also studied saxophone when he was younger. He was a member of many groups in the first half of the 60s, like The Konrads, The Hooker Brothers, The King Bees, The Manish Boys and The Lower Third.
He changed his surname bacause there was another actor and singer called David Jones. He changed from Jones to Bowie. He debuted with “Can’t help thinking about me”. He had a lot of musical styles. His explosion like a musical superstar was in 1972. Bowie went down in history as the artist identified with the genre.
His only son is Zowie Bowie. His birth inspired his father to write the song "Kook" included on his album Hunky Dory. He followed a bit his mother's way. She was a model, an actress and a musician. He is a British film director and he has won BAFTA award once.
I don't like much his music, but that is because I like other types of music. I reckon he is an important person to the history and he has some great songs.
