[Lotz-A-Landies]

Bowie's son and his publicist have confirmed that the legendary musician has died David Bowie dies at the age of 69 | Music | The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jan/11/david-bowie-dies-at-the-age-of-69)


And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I floating round my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do ...

... Ground control to Maj. Tom :BigCry:

It was Bowie's birthday just the other day and I believe he released and album on the day obviously knowing you didn't have long left I haven't heard anything from or of it but assume like most Bowie stuff there could be some cracker stuff amongst it

I'm beginning to feel a bit old.
cheers,

To me he was a musical chameleon. A sad day today hearing of his death. He always seemed ageless and one of those people who would be here forever.

Such a trendsetter and brilliant musician. Died of lung cancer, for the life of me I still can't understand young people still taking it up.
RIP David

Don't mind getting out a bit of Bowie every now and then. Alladin Sane, Hunky Dory, Diamond Dogs etc. I remember finding one of his tapes of his very early stuff in a bargain bin once, it had this song on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyQxTWDLZ8o

Fuelled trajectory of the true Starman

..........

David Bowie was a 69-year-old man who died of a common disease. He did not contribute one benefit to humanity during his whole drug-addicted life, not one. He was a drug-addicted alcoholic entertainer and some people worship entertainers as if they are special. They are not.

I hope David finds the peace in death that he could not find in life.

A bit harsh I think , but everybody is entitled to their opinion. Wasn't he part of Live Aid and didn't they raise a fair lump of cash? I think that could be counted at least as "one benefit to humanity".
cheers,
D

Wot Rot!

What one benefit has Ken Morehouse ever contributed to humanity?

David Bowie's songs are a part of the soundtrack of my life and for that he has been a benefit to me and millions of others.

Starman is currently an earworm in my head. (No you don't need to take it out, I'm happy hearing it over and over, far more entertaining than the moronic conversation you find on commercial radio.)

[cuppabillytea]

Well said Lotz-A-Landies.
David Bowie was a hefty part of the sound track to my life as well. I heard that one of the bands booked to launch his latest album is the "Mountain Goats " another one of my favourites.
Cheers Billy.

[jonesfam]

He bought a lot of pleasure to a lot of people for a long time.
That is a lot more than most people do with their lives.


I will miss the Strange, Starman.

I think I will drop into carinda for a quiet beer when passing, for a reflection

Makes 1 think how old 1 is getting! when the people of your youth starts passing over. Whist I did not endorse all his music or thoughts there were more than enough to like and listen. We remember you, Starman.

My music hero has journeyed on!
Totally gutted. As for that article, don't even get me started....

Responses to the Morehouse comments published today include :


My word, Mr Morehouse takes a grimly Puritan view of David Bowie's contribution to the world. Can I respectfully suggest that he views the video of the organist of St Albans cathedral playing Life on Mars. He may then see how the secular and spiritual worlds can meld to powerful, moving effect.
