Flippo's 'Serious Moonlight' flops
“David Bowie,
Serious Moonlight”
By Chet Flippo

could come close to Bowie
before. This time, he left them
in the shade,” Chet Flippo, ace
Rolling Stone writer writes in
“David Bowie, Serious
Moonlight.”
Perhaps never before has
anyone so simploy or tactlessly
crowned a singer the king of
rock’n’roll.
“What I mean
to say... is
this tour was
hot shit. As in
Hot Shit.
Nobody but
the Stones
And it is because of Flippo’s
contrived prose, which
amounts to nothing more than
an extended magazine article,
that "Serious Moonlight"
suffers.
Graphically and pictorially,
the paperback book is stunning.
Whether or not you have ever
appreciated David Bowie’s
music, you will enjoy perusing
Denis O’Regan’s concert and
backstage photos of Bowie in
his finest togs.
However, every page of this
book works to show Bowie as
aloof, sainted, blond and
discreetly cool.
In each full-color frame,
Bowie’s golden head pierces
through his surroundings like a
haloed, benevolent ethereal be

»age 6, The Friday Edition
Micheal Jackson and Bette
Midler come backstage to pay
tribute. Bowie dines on sushi
and sleeps in luxurious suites
and satin sheets. He is mystical,
yet fascinated with things
Oriental. His world is portrayed
as surreal, a princely dream.
That is unsettling.
The overriding effect of the
entire book is to raise Bowie to
some sort of rock’n’roll demi
god status. Flippo portrays
Bowie's fans as adidas-footed
automatons clamoring uncon
trollably for front row seats.
O’Regan’s photos of possessed
fans from Singapore to Paris de
fend the premise.
Following a Five year absence
from all touring and on the
heels of his rousingly successful
1983 album ‘‘Let’s Dance,”
Bowie decides to return to the
stage. This time he is sans any
single persona, adopting in
stead several zoot suit outfits
designed by a cinema costumer.
There may be some value in
Flippo’s writing to the hardcore
Bowie fan. But to the rest of us
the account is dry and
contrived.
Only O’Regan’s photography
saves “Serious Moonlight”
from becoming a total write-off.
