Lemmy last week now Bowie this week"

Still in shock. Cancer sucks.
I don't know that any musician reinvented themselves over and over again as successfully as Bowie did. To say nothing of the style and class with which he lived his life. Dammit.Yeah, I wasn't prepared to hear someone I idolized had unexpectedly died.
That's a helluva post. Very well said. I might have been a little surprised by the deaths of other rock icons throughout my life (Cobain, SRV, etc) but in some ways I expected many of those guys to die because they were addicts, lived the rock n roll lifestyle, etc. This really takes me back to how shocked I was when Lennon died.Believe me, I usually don't blink when a musician/celeb dies, but the passing of Bowie really has me shaken up. I just want to talk Bowie all day but I work with a bunch of idiots so it's to the AOTF ...
- My dad surprised me with guitar lessons once. I met the instructor and we sit down to talk, and he asks me who I liked and what my influences were and the first thing I said was that I was going through a huge Bowie phase and that I really liked Mick Ronson's sound. He rolled his eyes. That was my first and last guitar lesson.
- Bowie was like the security blanket you needed to battle every hipster or the people in the world that always judge your music. I could always walk into a room and feel safe because I knew and got David Bowie.
- When asked what do you listen to or what bands do you like, I instantly think, 'Bowie', even if I hadn't heard him in years. Still today.

Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory will always be among my all-time favorite albums. This is one to make a sit and think for a while.
Fought cancer for 18 months, saw it coming, went out with a combination of class and privacy. Really makes you look at his last album in a different light. Especially that video that just came out, what, Friday? Actually kind of spooky.
That's brilliant. Had to share that one.Haven't heard it yet,but a lot of people are referencing the "Lazarus" cut.Meanwhile this is something I saw posted elsewhere...
As the world mourns Bowie's death, fan Dean Podsta put it best: "If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie."
