Great Britain is widely-known for its traditions. Everything in the United Kingdom is according to customs and traditions. They drink tea at 5 p.m. every day for several hundreds years. Their Prime Minister from the Labor party has to come to office in a work uniform and not in tailored suit. Their constitutional law can hardly be called constitution because there is not any written form of it and English people live according to the judge-made law. Their Queen is the symbol of everything traditional. Living in little towns they do not walk after dinner, and they consider people doing that to be very strange and suspicious. Everything that happened not in accordance with British customs and traditions is considered as something that has not happened or is thought to be invalid.
It should be noticed that there are traditions and rules in any country and society. But in the United Kingdom there are only traditions. That is why it is seems to be so strange and illogic that male English pop singer appears there. Stars are always people who take a challenge, who want to change something and live differently very bright life. Actually Britain does not seem to be the most singing country. People are quite reserved there, they do not like public holidays. They like spending evening with their little families, playing their traditional games. They hate when someone shows his or her private life and do not let anyone get into their own private lives.
But some people like male English pop singer, for example Jonathan King and David Bowie, manage to get out of the traditional English way of life and reach the stars.
Look at David Bowie, for example. Seems like someone has mixed up the list of babies and David Bowie, who was to be born in Argentina, was given birth in England. He was born soon after the Second World War ended. And he was bold enough to think of the stars. He is a highly talented singer and actor. As David Bowie singer he plays several musical instruments: guitar, saxophone cello, harmonica, drums and many others. It was he who created several genres, which became highly popular later.
Everything that he did, performed, sang or played was extraordinary, unknown and stereotype breaking. His two eyes of different colors added something mystic to his image - he cannot live in accordance with customs and traditions. He was working together with the Beatles, Queens, Rolling Stones and other legends of the modern music world. Actually he became a legend on his own soon. The whole Great Britain was mad about him, breaking traditions; English people hated and adored this male English pop singer.
Today Bowie is about 50 and he is a living music history. He is still working as a singer and actor. His children must be proud of him. David Bowie is living now with his wife and daughter in New York City and it is not surprising. A male English pop singer with such energy, who managed to turn everything upside down, change the whole culture and create new fashion trends, should live in the freest and the most dynamic city in the world.
