Goodbye, Mr. Bowie…

I had no idea that David Bowie had cancer and I’m terribly sad to find out just now that he passed away last night. I hope that every radio station fills the airwaves with any and all Bowie. Please, he deserves that.

As a teen, I gravitated towards his music because to me, it was different, he was different. I played his greatest hits vol. 1 & 2 over and over and over again on my record player, memorizing the lyrics. And then I bought more of his records and/or tapes. My friend and I camped out over night at Repeat the Beat Record store in downtown Plymouth, MI to get tickets for his 1987 show at the Pontiac Silverdome. Our waiting paid off because my friend and I scored 7th row center seats to his Glass Spider Tour. We were beyond excited to finally see him. And, damn, that was an awesome show.
I think Mark Ruffalo put it best earlier this morning: “Rip Father of all us freaks. Sad sad day…”

Wherever you are now, Sir, I hope you are at peace.

Possibly my favorite, though it’s hard to choose just one song

Let’s all sing…
