 Topic: David "Bowie" Robert Jones; 1947 – 2016
Posted: January 11 2016 at 02:39 |
We are now
saying goodbye to the most pivotal singer/songwriter to have ever graced this field
of rock and beyond. From an Alien from mars, to the rebellious man who sold the
world, to a man who wanted changes, to the man who raised up to the Ziggi
stared heaven to even become Aladdin Sane, from sexy Pin Ups, to shiny Diamond
Dogs, he went from Low, to a Heroes for many, and for some he even asked you
for a Dance, to the end a Black Star shines, as his Legacy will ever shine as
the brightest in the stardom of rock. In the Hall of boundless respect and awe
for that man’s achievements. May you now found peace and jam along side Mark Bolan, Lou Reed, Bolder and Ronson and the rest of the rock Family in sky.

It's so shocking in the midst of the release of such a great album, looking and sounding so strong and as innovative as ever. My family feels like it's been living on Bowie for the past few months. A musical superstar without peer.

The Lazarus video is quite difficult (and harrowing) to watch now. For once I'm lost for words, all I can say is thank you Mr Jones.

It's just terrible. Why Bowie? Why now? Unfortuantely only after his death we are able to see all those valedictory signs on his last album and the final clips. The saddest news

Blackstar is a great swan-song of the greatest Art Pop singer-songwriter of our time.
rest in peace.

Ditto . I learned about his passing from the Italian news this morning. It was shocking to say the least.

Wow! ... Just like that. After the B-day, after Blackstar, ... . Cancer. Either I missed it or he was very secretive about it.
RIP, man.
(Let me take a crack at it: some celebrities are going to come out and for a tribute will cover some hit singles instead of stuff from Low or Heroes or Station To Station. And my head will go a-spinning.)

Holy Crap! I heard it early this morning on the news and am absolutely floored. Like Chris Squire, out of the blue and gone way too fast. I'm holding my breath to see who falls next. I guess we're now really living in the age of heroes passing into legend.
Thanks for some of the greatest music I've listened to over the last 4 decades. You set the bar high and stood alone in a field of talent unparalleled in the modern age.

Thank you most of all for the Berlin (Eno) trilogy. Low Heroes and Lodger will always be my favorites! :)
Cancer is taking all my favorites...
Chris Squire, Daevid Allen, and now Bowie.
I'm worried about those who have reported cancer lately (John Wetton and Rick Davies (of supertramp)).
Apparently the house band in the afterlife needs more talent.
