David Bowie Dies at age 69

Something I'm interested in is someone from another site quoted I believe Ahmet Zappa as saying It super blows that David Bowie is gone. At least he is hanging out with my dad right now. Just hope Lou Reed isn't being a dick about it.
Apparently Lou and Zappa had their battles...then again Ol' Lou battled a whole bunch of people, native New Yorker whaddaya expect.
 

This was actually the song that first made me into him, his music big time, I played this song so much people would hide it from so I couldn't put it on. :D




same show but with a nice interview


OK, before someone takes the remote from me, just one more version, I think he looks cute in this clip singing it, only reason I'm adding it.

 
I agree April..."Fame" and "Golden Years" were more what...I guess accessible to some of us. I think he was brilliant but like Susan Sontag some artists just go over one's head. But "Fame"...yes I could understand that.

I have what some of my close friends would called strange taste in music, so I did like a lot of his more bizarre stuff as well, but fame was the song that first open my eyes to him.
 
Me too, I remember Cockney Rebel, Roxy Music...completely befuddled by why they were presenting there but amazing nonetheless. Alex Harvey was more direct, Vambo was kind of a street punk super hero and the rest got lost in Glasgow burr. But I still have it on my IPod, learned his stuff phonetically.
 
Steve Harley on Top of the Pops. I didn't understand exactly the portrait he was painting, maybe even a dig at Warhol who knows. But obviously a somewhat paranoid artist fond of makeup. I think one of his best sellers was " Make Me Smile". Same era as Bowie, T Rex and the early 70's...yes I was a rock nerd.
 
Bowie died of liver cancer?

They said he was a big smoker so it wouldn't be hard to believe alcohol wasn't far behind. This could be from damage done decades ago. I also wonder if he took other drugs into his senior years because in some respects he still looked healthy in that he didn't seem to gain weight over the years nor did his face age too bad. Maybe his original androgynous look came from drugs.
 
Sad loss been a bad couple of weeks.. My favorite song..

Thank you for your music.
