First Weiland and now Bowie... Sad. The movie Labyrinth is an all time favorite movie o' mine

And it was his birthday when he released that album.

Gone, but not forgotten...
Fame

Purportedly one of if not THE 'richest' man in rock/pop music. One very creative soul has joined the band.

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.

Heard on the news and thought it had to be a joke. Nope! Will be listening to Low, Heores, and Station to Station all day.

Lemmy a little over a week ago and now Bowie. Bummed.

A sad day for sure. He was one of the most innovative musicians ever, and a talented actor too. Gonna miss him.

A sad day today, indeed.

Sail on.

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.

+1 He was great as Tesla in The Prestige. RIP David.

Sad news indeed, rest in peace.

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

For here


Am I sitting in a tin can,


Far above the world.


Planet Earth is blue,


And there's nothing I can do.


Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles


I'm feeling very still
,

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go.


Tell my wife I love her very much— she knows.
Ground Control to Major Tom


Your circuit's dead; there's something wrong,


Can you hear me, Major Tom?


Can you hear me, Major Tom?


Can you hear me, Major Tom?


Can you....

Lemmy is dead....Bowie is dead....but at least we still have Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift!
