Wmcmanus Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Posted January 11, 2016 Just saw this myself... so what now? The world without David Bowie? It just won't be the same. Tears. RIP.
Hopstretch Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 What the fuck? RIP Bowie. You were something special.

ironbut Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Shocking and very sad! RIP David Bowie
Craig Sawyers Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 So I woke up and turned the radio on, and am just stunned. Best example for me of Bowie reinvention was the side-long instumental Warszawa from Low (1977). A late night track, in the dark with a drink. I honestly thought he was immortal. Shit. 2
Absorbine_Sr Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Fuck cancer. I've been influenced by his music since I was 12. Gutted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Knuckledragger Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Was asleep. Awoken by redneck screeching his tires and hitting the guardrail at the bottom of the hill on my street (it's been fly paper for idiot drivers for 75 years now.) Find out David Bowie is dead. Bleh. I posted this in Slow Forum at least once. Many years ago, a friend of mine (who is not longer my friend) suggested I might like Bowie. I said "he's got a lot of albums, where do I start?" I t went something like: Heroes, Hunky Dory, Low, Lodger, The Man Who Sold The World, Scary Monsters.
Aimless1 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Thank you Mr Bowie. You will be missed
shellylh Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Fuck cancer!!! Thanks you for everything Mr. Bowie.
Aura Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 I don't post in here hardly at all but this is a sentimental loss. Mike Sr really helped me understand how unique, gifted, and meaningful Bowie was and I'm both grateful and saddened. RIP Bowie. 3
robm321 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Very shocking and sad! RIP David Bowie.
TMoney Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 RIP Bowie. A true original. I know what I'll be listening to this week. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Craig Sawyers Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Listened to Rick Wakeman being interviewed on Radio 4 (UK). He played keyboards as a session musician on the early Bowie albums, was a lifelong friend and it is clear that he was in total shock. He knew Bowie was ill, but not to the extent he clearly was.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 He made 'pushing the envelope' cool. An important influence that I have serious doubts could ever exist in today's market. He will be sorely missed. RIP, Bowie

I heard the same interview on the BBC service bulletin on NPR, indeed seems that he didn't gave too much info about his sickness and the fast demise came as a surprise to many of his friends. Very sad and he will be missed.
Grahame Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 David was many things, he also (fore)saw the intersection of music and technology, especially the internet http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/11/david-bowie-bowienet-isp-internet Interesting 1999 Interview
HemiSam Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 RIP, David. You marked my youth and provided food for thought. HS
