R.I.P. David Bowie

Beyond his personal output, Bowie was a very influential and interesting artist. Definitely a guy who made a difference in his own unique way and hard to ignore. An artist I still feel compelled to hear for fear of missing something at a minimum. His loss will surely be felt by many.

Oddly I know him more as an actor. Just re-watched Basquiat for the 10th or so time. He plays Andy Warhol in it, and it's utterly amazing how good he is in that role. Seriously, check it out. Also an intense noir called The Hunger, similarly superb.

A true originator and innovator, genius artist - Starman - continue to make heavenly music! 

He truly was a soaring brilliant star. He had it all - talent, charisma, charm, humility, humour, gorgeous wife etc etc. I am so glad that he had made such a long, varied and thrilling contribution to the world of art. I listened to Young Americans, Let's Dance and Ziggy as a tribute. An artist liked by lovers of Jazz, Funk, Soul, Rock, Techno, Folk, Classic etc etc.

Aww shit.
