Goodbye Spaceboy.......

Ground Control to Major Tom... Can you hear us, Major Tom?

RIP

Not sure why, but the last few weeks I found myself listening again to Bowie after a hiatus. He was the greatest. I'll miss the music he would have made -Mike G

[colker]

I am lost... He was the Mind, the balance that could rationalize commercial pop and avant garde.. He could always make the next move.
Lou Reed was the poet supreme. Bowie was the master strategist.

Goodbye Spaceboy.......

Sad day man, thanks for saying that.

[SeanEasley]

Actor Simon Pegg wrote on Instagram: "If you're sad today, just remember the world is over 4 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie."

[monadnocky]

Unbelievable. I had no idea he was unwell.
Goodbye.

The NPR radio station, WXPN, based in Philadelphia, is playing David Bowie all day. If you're close enough you can catch it over the airwaves. Outside of that, you can catch it online from wxpn.org.

Thanks for the heads up. Oblivious, I listened to podcasts on the morning commute. Now I'll tune in this evening.

Station to Station .. now.

The return of the thin white duke.

Guy kept his edge right up to the very end.




"Pop music" ...that phrase loses all meaning when taken in the context of Bowie's oeuvre.


:(

[Nierman]

He was the nazz. RIP

From my FB page:


Why did Bowie mean so much to us?
I like to think that in a world where people struggle to find themselves, to leave a mark, a stamp, something - we found it truly outrageous that this man........or was he?..........could re-make himself so thoroughly, so completely, and with such success and regularity that even as he rolled out a new persona we were already wondering:
"What's next?"
We fell in love with him and his work over and over, he spanned genres and generations, blurred music lines and genders, always carrying himself with dignity and always the gentleman, seemingly loved by all.
And what kind of man battles to the end yet stays on for his final album without even a name, but a symbol - a black star - did he know that within days he would leave us all with an empty heart?
His made his last video days before death, mocking it even -
leaving us with the vague hope that with his farewell video, "Lazarus", that who knows - maybe he will be back......
I wouldn't put it past him.
RIP and Thank You, Mr. Bowie.

Producer Tony Visconti commented on the GearSlutz Facebook page that Bowie knew he was dying when he was working on the Blackstar album and was determined to complete it.

Beautifull..



Bowie never let the wheel of fortune, always so cruel, bring him down.. He was always one step ahead. That was his job. When death came knocking he went out w/ a new collection of songs and images w/ the best possible taste, as usual.
