Vale David Bowie (1947-2016)



Favourites? "Heroes", "Golden Years", "Fame", "Gene Genie", "Starman", "Space Oddity" and, sadly in these circumstances, "Ashes to Ashes". I have always been impressed by the fact that "Ashes to Ashes" represents, in a sense, "Space Oddity Part 2" - the drug world he inhabited involved thrills and spills but down here was reality - and humanity. He experienced, in the end, thirty years of solid family life: good for him. Here is the Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie
