On Friday I listened to his new album, which is great. Then I thought, great, that he is here and still in business.

I grew up listening to his music - Space Oddity was almost an anthem in the high school I went to.

Post by: FreeCopy on Mon, 11 January 2016, 01:32:40: ****ing crazy. I'm so glad I got to see him live once.

Such a loss to the music world.

Weird I actually feel a bit upset. Usually I just read these things with a neutral feeling.

Just... Wow.

My faves were always "Hunky Dory" and "Scary Monsters" but his influence was not limited to his own body of musical work.

My mom was an extra during the filming of The Man Who Fell To Earth. She got to be in a scene with David Bowie, very briefly.

No way! That is probably one of the most confusing movies I have ever seen, as I read the plot summary before watching it and was still very confused the whole time. That and the fact that you get to see not just David Bowie but also Rip Torn's ****.

Post by: Binge on Mon, 11 January 2016, 11:37:48: This guy is one of the few humans to capture the end so eloquently.

He wasn't a quack, he didn't fake it to make it. The entire experience with this guy has been genuine.

His vision will be missed.
