A Facebook "friend" (I know him from the record business) tonight posted that Bowies death is the greatest loss to music since John Lennon. Really? I responded with a list of the musical people who have died since 1980, reminding him of each of them in case he had forgotten. Bowie, a bigger loss than Ray Charles? I, myself, consider that absurd. But, as I stated in that Facebook posting, it may be a generational thing; I was already an adult when Bowie made his appearance.
