You must live off the grid! He died January 10, 2016
Someone go check on Jerry Garcia... we can't afford to lose another one. 
While you’re at it, please check on Keith Richards too...
Keith is often out of it but he's still very much alive last I heard. Smart old devil while talking like Archie Bunker in an English accent.
puff_not_snuff, don't be embarrassed. I resurrect people from time to time, recently Toni Morrison. I've been known to misspeak pipe brands, remembering my reference to Costello pipes, like Abbot and Costello ... I guess those were funny pipes. And then there were my safety concerns about the pick on the Czech pipe tool. I still roll my eyes ... about myself. Some days go that way. Your post remembers David Bowie, and that's not all bad.
Many celebrities died in 2016. We had several 2016 curse threads.
That video was posted on YouTube thirteen years ago.
He kept his illness a secret till the end. In they lyrics of his final release, there are all kinds of hints at his imminent death. He was choreographing his own parting. Quite cleverly and elegantly.
How many times does this poor guy have to die before he gets it right?
In breaking news Freddie Mercury died. Wait, Don’t Stop Me Now, I was Under Pressure when I said that.
By the way, ashdigger, where you been? Glad to see you back in recent weeks.
That kind of pressure burns a building down, splits a family in two, and puts people on streets.
Bad news Cosmic (Charile) FolkloreSomeone go check on Jerry Garcia... we can't afford to lose another one.
Reminds me of that song 'The Decomposing Composers'
