We did pretty recently lose Charlie Daniels and John Prine though. So that sucked.

If Willie Nelson survives 2020, we can rest assured that he made the same pack with the devil that Keith Richards did.
I think Kieth Richards was preserved by pickling, and Willie was preserved by smoke.
They both had the same blood filter treatment a few years ago i think they will be good
Keith Richards is a vampire. He gets his blood switched out with fresh children's blood on a regular basis. I remember discussing this in biology class 20 years ago.
Goodness yes. We're all human. We're all in this together, come what may.?
with all due respect - He's been gone for many years now - there was his last album which many have made hints to the fact that he had foresight for what was coming in 2020
what the thread or his death? lol In all seriousness I still haven't gotten over it - Bowie was one of the greatest all time artists like Leonardo Davinci Raphael, Beethoven etc.
Bowie was one of my favorites. I saw him for the first time in the Boston Garden for the Thin White Duke Tour(summer of 76)what really amazed me was how low his voice really was, he used a number of back up singers to get the high notes for him.
I saw him for the last time in 83 when he was doing his stadium tours. It was quite the spectacle and the place went nuts when he began singing Let's Dance.
What most people don't realize is that Niles Rogers wrote most of Bowie;s biggest hits. Check out the band Chic and Nile Rodgers, dude had the beats coming out of his ass.

No? I say nay on you - the guy was a genius - his musicality, he understood melody, verse- he was able to change his persona over five times - he was a marketer - he was also a great painter - A TOP NOTCH actor in films- He was a musical director and directed video/film he was a freind and well liked by most he had met. He was a GREAT performer overall. You must be living under a rock. You couldn't even come close to his level of acheivment, success, and mastery.
Bro he didn't even write his songs or music, he was a mediocre actor at best, and he was a confirmed pedo. I don't want to speak ill of the dead here, but be at least somewhat objective in your adoration.
What ruined Bowie for me, were all of the rather large alternative chick wannabes of my youth all idolizing him. So, I just sorta placed him in a mental category outside of my preferences. Then, MTV and his dance stuff, "put on your red shoes and dance the blues" was just sorta not my style. I was more John Cougar, American guitar driven riffs sorta stuff. I always associated Bowie with Flock of Seagulls hair, weird gyrating dances, and probably some weird drugs that I just didn't understand.
It really wasn't until I revisited Space Oddity recently that I sort of appreciated him anew. I still have a hard time just looking at him in that Ziggy phase. I just never understood what was going on.
