R.I.P. David Bowie


Passed yesterday after a long battle with cancer. He was 69 years old. Goodbye Major Tom, you will be missed.

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.
I grew up on David Bowie, ziggy star dust,  my favorite! , we lost an excellent artist.
