RIP David Bowie
 

This is shocking and sad news. I did not know that he had been sick.

Just saw that..wow..did not know either. A true legend and groundbreaker

RIP Shocked as well, he must have kept the cancer battle from the media, which is an epic accomplishment in today's media and social media onslaught world. One of the greats, very sad.

Oh my TVC one five, oh oh, TVC one five


RIP

Perhaps the most innovative musician of my time, and a triumph of individualism over conformity. Oh yeah, and one hell of a composer. The chord progression in Space Oddity will never cease to give me goosebumps.

There is Panic in Detroit, poor little greenie. RIP

The stars look very different today

heard the news this morning. had cancer, but let no one know-can't say i blame him. look how they hounded freddy mercury when rumors started that he was sick.

neat cover, thanks OD...Space oddity takes me back to when I was a kid living in the woods of rural East Texas...we had only one radio channel we could pick up in the daytime that played music. I remember Bowie and how weird everyone thought he was....but not his music, it was memorable. He was a genius...Rest in Peace Music Man

Hard to pick one, but my favorite DB song is about Heroes

My first concert feb 1976 one of the all time greats.

Hauntingly brilliant! The man was a musical genius.

I thought this clip was pretty neat...shows what a great personality Mr.Bowie had....

Screaming liberal that I am, "Under Pressure" always gets me right in the gut, of course. Slate did a great piece on what makes the song so brilliant:

(Link to the video included, of course, along with a cool clip of Bowie's and Freddie Mercury's vocals isolated)

My favorite by far. His older stuff is great but this song is a standout for the simple fact it was almost spontaneous.
