david bowie – starman (metrophonic mix) !! (wow)
Had lunch with a friend Monday and he mentioned his cat, Ziggy (pretty much all he knows about Bowie). After he left, I went online to check the news… like a punch in the stomach. Sat there stunned, reading the articles, speaking briefly with two English women sitting at the next table. Haven’t been this affected by a musician’s death since Lennon’s murder. Yes, Bowie lives on in his music, movies, etc., but for his wife, son, daughter, friends, this is a huge personal loss. Thanks for noting Bowie’s passing (and for Let’s Dance; don’t know if you have others… Read more »
Hearing about his passing on Monday morning was like a knife in my heart. The world needs David Bowie!
He will live on!!!
Goodbye hero

TV was on but muted, when I saw Bowies picture on the news…No it can’t be! Sadly it was. Despite all the wars around the world and climate disasters, first announcement on the evening news, David Bowie has passed away! What an artist, so many different directions but always on the forefront of things to come, it was always something interesting he did, not only in music, and always so cool and so stylish. So many various great songs of his can be heard everyday on the radio, for decades I found myself surprised finding out:”Oh that’s also a David… Read more »
Mi banda sonora personal esta plagada de canciones de David Bowie, un genio a emprendido el viaje a juntarse con John Lennon, Freddie Mercury y compañia…..Buen Viaje David.
Gutted.
Was a great shock to us all of course. Was expecting a DB post today. I’m almost certain you will have one tomorrow.
David was nothing less than an intense concentration of creative and artistic energy. And the source of inspiration for so many others who tried to follow in his footsteps. His life and artistry should be a core subject in any art school.
Probably the greatest loss in music this century. RIP, Master!
David Bowie changed the landscape of popular music. It is highly doubtful that a lot of the music listened to here would exist in the state it is in or even at all had his influence not been present. He is a legend and was a rare thing, a true genius.
It’s hard to imagine what the state of the music industry would be without David Bowie’s nearly universal influence over the artists from the 80s, 90s and today. We would not have had the New Romantics that gave birth to the New Wave / MTV generation had it not been for his early successes on the BBC capturing the imaginations of Boy George, Pete Burns, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, and many others. We would not have Madonna; her initial strategies were successful because they had been proven already by Bowie. Would we have had Prince? Grunge? Heavy Metal? Lady Gaga?… Read more »
Well said!
Thank you Paul for this. Talk is cheap. The Dame will live on through his art.
His music will live on. May his soul rest in peace 🙁
Quite a shock to wake up to this sad news morning.
Had had a bit of a Bowie weekend too, listening to the new album and discussing it with friends, so it all seemed even more unreal that the next day – gone. 🙁
RIP.
I knew you would mention David Bowie on your site. I am quite devastated over this loss. His music and film will live on, thankfully!

“Look up here, I’m in Heaven”, is the first line from his new song “Lazarus”. Hearing that kind of sends shivers down my spine.
Anyway R.I.P. David, you beautiful and talented man.
Thanks for your tribute to The Thin White Duke! He was and will always be a great influence on music! R.I.P. David Bowie. ]:
The music landscape has collapsed. Mr. Bowie’s creative energy was undeniable through the decades.
this year start’s not good 🙁 i was totally unaware of this. First i thought it was a hoax,but it wasn’t. Goodbye Spaceboy
was totally shocked when i heard the news. what a sad day…
Real shock this morning. Didn’t know he suffered from cancer all this time. Big loss.
