An icon, for sure, but just look (and listen) to all that Bowie achieved. Amazing. swisslethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708248700851998044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-41004814503174781452016-01-14T16:25:51.830+00:002016-01-14T16:25:51.830+00:00Sadly, I never saw him.

My dad was the st John's doctor for his gig at the MK Bowl in the 80s and infuriated me by calling it a "pop concert". swisslethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708248700851998044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-81376617584966330152016-01-14T15:56:17.664+00:002016-01-14T15:56:17.664+00:00i'm glad you wrote this - i don't think i&...i'm glad you wrote this - i don't think i've ever been so affected by a celebrity death before - i'm not ashamed to say that there has been weeping - but i don't know if i would be able to put it into words.<br /><br />i share an office with my boss, a man who it is safe to say that Bowie changed his life, so this week has been filled with many misty-eyed reminiscences. it doesn't help that his final album is genuinely up there with the best of his work. to still be that artistically engaged and questing at an age when he could have coasted and just played the hits. and NOBODY would have complained.<br /><br />and pretty much the coolest way to play out your last few months of life. an amazing artist, an amazing man.<br /><br />(if you'd said that you were in the audience for his gig at Rock City a few years back then that would have been it for us!)<br /><br />cheers,<br /><br />steve<br />(wearing his frock coat and bibbity-bobbity hat)stevedominohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598042606017502408noreply@blogger.com
