RIP David Bowie

He was a master poet, i like the subtle word play in his verse.

This is one of my favorites.

Bowie is going to be a legend. He was a great artist and his music was a leap forward from other artists of his era. Too bad he only came to Rochester once in 1976 but I was there and have great pictures although they came from the "nose bleed section" . Suffragette City was one of his great songs and used to get me really pumped when going out partying. May he rest in peace and and know he will never be forgotten.

I realize what I am saying is fucked up and I should be ashamed of myself but news of Bowie dropping dead has revitalized my interest in some old material I have laying around. The Ziggy Stardust album is an all-time classic.

Caught his "Sound and Vision" tour at the old convention center in the Falls, which is now the casino. Probably the last good thing to happen in that town.

His whole new Blackstar album is on YouTube in HD.
Listened to it and got the impression he wrote it knowing he was dying and wouldn't be around for long. He was an innovative creative musician but never really was a big fan.

When he came out with "Let's Dance", I became a bigger fan than I already was. Up to that point he had already put out a lot of great material, but for me that put him over the top. Not to mention the exposure it gave to the soon to become legendary SRV.
