Fuck, how time flies! Remarkably it is TEN YEARS today since we lost the greatest of all my icons, the god who walked amongst us, the peerless David Bowie.
As you will be more than aware, dear reader, I have paid due homage to the great man many, many times on this very blog...
Read my week-long series of "Bowie Tracks of the Day" following his untimely death:
- Wild is the Wind
- Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)
- Boys Keep Swinging
- Life on Mars?
- Golden Years
- Rock'n'Roll Suicide
- Queen Bitch
Read my two-part magnum opus in tribute to the great man on his 65th birthday in 2012:
I still mourn his loss, needless to say.
As does, it would seem, our "house band" here at Dolores Delargo Towers...
RIP, David. Well done, Sara, Scott Bradlee and the band.
I love your honoring of David Bowie. He and Lou Reed were my intro into a different world when I was 17.
ReplyDeleteI came late to the game where Bowie is concerned (late 70s/early 80s), but I can safely say he changed my life! Jx
DeleteMy first girlfriend at university (yeah that long ago) had a dorm room to herself with a mattress in the middle of the floor, lava lamps, incense, scarves hanging over lamp shades, pot, and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. I was transformed.
