    David Bowie . . .

    . . . gone




    Was a total Led Zeppliner --- 'till my Sis turned me on to him . . . to this . . .

    Never 'mainstream'

    Never 'Top 40'

    Never anything but . . . himself

    And almost never on the radio for it . . .


    . . . but always there --- somewhere . . .


    . . . and with me . . .


    . . . in my head





    Breaks my heart

    And I am watching the last spiders from Mars concert from July 73 (the same time as my 73 911 was being built) as I am reading this. The passing of an icon. Lou Reed's passing shocked me.... But while I was a great "velvets" fan it has not impacted nearly as much as Bowie's. The star man has gone back to the stars but popular music will always be the richer for his time here.

    Amazing how his music transcended generations. With contemporary movie producers being smart enough to include 70's and 80's music over the last 10-15 years, my kids grew up on Bowie.
    My youngest daughter was a blubbering mess yesterday.

    The mold was broken after him. Ziggy Stardust was off-the-chart creative for its day. I'm afraid we're going to lose some more great talent over the next several years.

    Unfortunately fresh and innovative musicians are rare as hen's teeth these days.

    Feels that way for me, too


    And so many characters . . .

    Ziggy Stardust

    Aladdin Sane --- + Diamond Dogs

    The Man Who Fell to Earth and The Hunger

    And Tesla --- in The Prestige




    Not the brightest star in the room . . .

    . . . more looked-for --- or felt, maybe . . . than seen . . .


    . . . but always ----------------------------- special
