Well said.

One doesn't have to like his music to recognize that he was in a league by himself. He re-invented himself several times and his influence will be felt for a long while yet.

I haven't liked it enough to listen to it - perhaps I should.

Some artists, really great, have passed me by for some reason and I haven't, as you say, connected (another example The Rolling Stones).

You're not alone. I'm not a fan either.

1st Bowie Album : Station to Station
Best: Low (closely followed by every preceding album.)
Guilty Pleasure : Pin-ups
Secret fav. Young Americans (most of my friends HATED this album)

Didn't listen to anything after mid-80s but apparentlt the latest is a return to form?

RIP

Existence is beautiful. (So Is Bowie's music).

The sadness perhaps is in not recognising this.

It must be quite comfortable to be a walking cliché.

I've missed the 1970s since the summer of 1980. Bowie is a legend. I wished I'd just gone and got a Bowie haircut instead of listening to my parents.

As opposed to a walking tub of margarine?
