Black Thoughts-White Light
I knew David J to be a fantastic musician and visual artist, but it turns out that he is also a gifted writer with a sharp style and sly wit. “Who Killed Mister Moonlight?” is not just a revealing account of the evolution of Bauhaus and Love and Rockets,  peppered with stories about David’s interactions  with The Clash, John Lydon, Joy Division, Iggy Pop, Rick Rubin and other heroes of mine, but an electric journey through the struggles and tensions of the creative process. David J has a dark side, but he’s no one dimensional Goth, his shades of black manifest in remarkably varied ways in his art, and in his writing, as wicked black humor.   What is most compelling about this book is the way David articulates the inspirations, irritations, triumphs, and defeats that are inherent to creativity… the alchemy of turning black thoughts into white light.
