One of my all time favorites. Wow. For us older folks, our contemporary musicians of the 1960s/70s are really starting to drop off. Sad to see. A great and fantastic talent.
A sad day. In High School, lived next door to a beautiful girl, four years my senior. She always had glam albums on, Bowie, T-Rex, Dolls, etc. I was smitten by her and her music. Sadly, she was killed by a train behind our house when she was a Senior. Hearing Bowie always makes me think of her. Heroes was my favorite. I never got to see him live.

A sad day for sure. He was one of the most innovative musicians ever, and a talented actor too. Gonna miss him.
Bowie is one pop star who really controlled his media image, including effectively obscuring his illness from reportage. I guess there was a murmur that he might not be well, but no one expected him to pass on. His visual imagery, the photos and fashion, have always been more striking to me than the music, which never had quite enough grit for me to gain any traction -- not boring, but a sort of twilight sleep effect. But the man moved the culture around on several fronts and will be exerting influence far into the future. David Bowie, RIP.
Ground Control to Major Tom! I'll be playing that over and over today. What a loss, and may Ziggy r.i.p.
RIP David Bowie... you gave us decades of great creativity in both the world of music and acting.... you will be missed.
While he was never my cup o tea, there was no denying his unique breadth of creativity and his influence. Bowie was clearly his own drummer. Not much of that around anymore, just packaged goods. RIP
