On Friday, his 69th birthday, he released his 25th album - his parting gift to the world. Yesterday, he departed, peacefully.

On the swim team in high school in the 80's, the lifeguard often played Bowie over the system in the early AM practices.

There are a bunch of his songs that I really enjoy to this day.

Rest well Ziggy Stardust, you fought to the very end and accomplished more than most mortals can even imagine.

Sad news indeed.  While I had planned to pick-up anyway, his new release is getting great reviews.

Sigh! :(

One of my all time favorite songs is "Heroes" and the way he sang it with acoustic guitar at the Bridge School Concert years ago. I will have to play that album tonight.

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.
