Geez. There won't be another Bowie as far as I can imagine. The music will endure. Coincidentally, I just watched a Spiders From Mars concert at the Hammersmith Odeon in the '70's. Great stuff.

The first 45 I ever bought was Bowie's "Space Oddity". I was about eight or nine years old, and I was interested in the Apollo space missions and SkyLab and I was intrigued by the song's lyrics about an astronaut getting lost in space. Then I flipped it over and played the B side "The Man Who Sold the World" and heard that awesome bass riff. Been a fan ever since.

Black Star, his last record, is a masterpiece.

Never was an outright fan, but there's no denying the talent, vision, output, and impact of DB; I thought Heroes was outstanding. RIP.

Black Star, his last record, is a masterpiece. What I've heard so far on this, it sounds like the Soundtrack of his Passage to the Other Side... |

Im checking out Blackstar on youtube just after hearing about Glen Frey. Death can kiss my ass, enjoy your life, make others better.

The 90's concert video was very good too.

This has been one that hit me hard among a seeming flow of great musicians that seem to be leaving us way too often these days

I haven't shared this with the forum yet, but I've been listening to Bowie's Blackstar album, I must have heard it 30 times by now.
I think it's a masterpiece. I think it's Sgt. Pepper's. It's that good. It's not catchy in a pop or bubblegum way, but I recommend just listening and let it wash over you. It's 43 minutes long, and stunning. I can't imagine a better parting shot as an artist from anybody. I haven't been as excited and moved by an LP recording as this one in decades.
