This is a mime performance by David Bowie back when he was just plain old David Robert Jones.

I think he must be about 16 / 17.

    Now I know where Todd Haynes got the inspiration for the big top scene in "Velvet Goldmine." Production design on that movie was damn amazing. The whole thing is damned amazing. Didn't it get an Oscar nomination for Art design?

    Yes, I agree.

    he stopped being him and became the act, represented, in this case, physically by the mask. It took over and consumed his being.

  • I don't think it is ...

    I don't think it is a literal mask. I think it stands for all the fronts one makes. He did lose himself in the end, but not from a real mask, he lost himself because he ceased to be himself. He got so caught up in the act of being someone else that he lost the real him.

    He was consumed by the mask / the act.

    He lost track of who he was, until there was no mask.

    mm, im a pretty big bowie fan, but i don't think it's mean at all. he even admits how he got caught up in the characters + the drug usage. his life had gone awry until the later part of the 70's. he's adopted characters as a means to advance his songs even further, there's nothing wrong with that.
