RIP David Bowie

[Simon_100]

Space Oddity was the first record I bought with my pocket money in 72 or 73 ...

EDIT - feck me, another similarity with Simon, weird bikes & now Space Oddity

Maybe, did you manage to convince your mum and dad that 1/6 was the same as 15p in New Money after decimalosation ... :whistle:

The German version Helden. Ps could one of you guys please post this version on the forum,I dinae know how. Cheers Al

Just for you Al:

Very sad to hear this. A unique and creative artist who will be sorely missed.

I don't know how Ricky Gervais managed to talk him into appearing on his Extra's show but I thought he was absolutely brilliant:-



R.I.P. David Bowie

His music was not my cup of tea , but he was very unique and charismatic person , i dont think that there will be another one like him .

Yes, a very sad day. A music genius that so many of us grew up with. My wifes first love at the age of thirteen.

Please don't think this is poor taste or disrespecting the ... but I've just heard the 'Epitaph' LP

My advice is, don't, cherish the good memories.

RIP a great star, talent, etc. but when you gotta go, just go ...

I'm sorry he's dead because it's another reminder of my own mortality but was he a bigger hero of mine than any other of the recording artists from my misspent youth in the '70s? Probably not because I can remember so many of them dying early and they're all missed in different ways.

RIP David but please, no rash of re-releases now he's gone. Buy the latest album if you like it but I don't want a repeat of when John Lennon died.

Of course there will be re-releases and new greatest hits albums, probably a new DVD as well....
There's money to be made when a famous artist dies donchaknow.

Bowie may have been a big part of my musical listening when i was younger, but i never get into saying RIP, or sentimental platitudes on any news like this.
Its only sad for me when someone i know personally dies.

They never brought out a 'Best Of' when Pete Seeger died

Obviously a minority taste (or was it that he challenged the Establishment, The Man, Capitalism and 'Me-ism' throughout his life )
