*The cover to Blackstar is really genius, if you think about it. Mainly the one for the vinyl record. In the context of Lazarus, Bowie is saying that now that he's dead he is completely exposed, hence why you can see the vinyl through the cover, with all on the imperfections that come with vinyl, just as Bowie's imperfections will finally come to light. This is the same reason for the matte-eggshell finish, which picks up every fingerprint and crease.

* In the late '70s, Bowie made a video featuring a mad artist ("Look Back in Anger" off the album ''Lodger'') . More or less twenty years later, he played a mad artist, Julian Priest, in the TV series "The Hunger." It is mentioned in his first episode that Priest "dropped everything and came to New York." It could be argued that the Lodger dropped everything, came to New York, and became the scary, philosophical Julian Priest!

* There's a line in Reality (the song) that goes, "Now my death is more than just a sad song." It took me years of listening to this song to make this connection, but My Death was a song that Bowie often covered, especially back in the Ziggy era. He's saying that now that he's older, My Death is more than just a sad song, it's an impending reality.

* The fate of Major Tom at the end of ''Space Oddity'' was one for many years. It takes most people a couple or more listens to realise where the song leaves him.

* The Man Who Sold The World by DavidBowie is great because of this. Its largely Nietzschian lyrics are already somewhat creepy but The Supermen is essentially about the death of god and how men are killing each other for a chance to die.
