In my mind, the narrative of Blackstar is about a meeting of all Bowie's past personas, where they reminisce over a few cups of ayahuasca tea (not that I know what that's like, mom). After reliving a few old stories with a freshly enlightened perspective, the gang rides the hallucinatory high to a crazy new adventure, only to realize they're actually just a bunch old men in sequined jumpsuits who have to know when to ease off on the throttle.
