Title: Can you hear me, Major Tom?

He wasn't always my cup of tea, but he made a lot of good music over his years.

RIP David Bowie.

Yeah...I know BD...I can't help but recall a number of his tunes at some important times in my life. Always ahead ( sometimes strangely... ::)) of the trends...he seemed to use the shock value and curiosity about him to a marketable advantage.

I think it forces a conscious "reckoning" within each of us. None of us are permanent - as much as we think that "the road goes on forever - and the party never ends"....

So- do something positive, fun and or helpful to others today. Whether we are famous in a big way or not - we are all important to someone - even if we do not know it.....So, don't count time...make your time count ;).

He was unique that's for sure.  I liked his older music best

RIP

He was a rock icon. Much too young. May his soul rock on and Rest In Peace..................

How ironic that his new album, "Blackstar" was just release a few days ago, too.

Here's a video of the title cut:

Huge loss at our house,Ive seen him I think 3 times in concert.

Blackstar...I hope thats not what he see's his death as,bizarre.

Something much better,1985 at Live Aid,cant beat a concert at Wembly Stadium...TVC 15,Rebel Rebel@ 3:35,Modern love @ 7:00,Heroes@ 11:30

2 of his best back up singers ever,THOMAS DOLBY (Yes,THAT Dolby) on keyboards,wow!!

Best heroes version ever in my book.Man does he bring down the house.Im watching on the big screen with full surround sound,Rock on Thin White Duke!

God bless YOU,David Bowie!

Me too.I liked and miss Freddy Mercury,a talent lost too young.I miss him.

Bowie is different,he was a constant in my life from teens to grampa.From my highest highs to lowest lows,always Bowie.Yep,its a crushing loss for me,Im really feeling this one.
