Today is an incredibly sad day, but it makes me happy to see so many tributes in the media and from friends. With such a lengthy and diverse career, it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like at least one Bowie tune.
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Bowie live in 2002, and to this day it’s one of the top experiences of my life. He opened with Life on Mars and the crowd just adored him.
I may not have loved all his work, and his endless album reissues hurt my wallet immensely, but he will always be the coolest fucker on the planet and an artist I admire.
I’ll post three songs for you. One of the first songs that got me into him, a song/video that will always make me smile, and finally a performance I just started enjoying.
