Wow, a house that was designed to match a guy's star sign that was later used in an iconic porno. Is that the most 70s thing ever?

I see it a different way: Bowie is just so lost in the moment of inspiration that he doesn't even realize that he's making Andy look like a joke. He's just writing a great song that happens to be about a little fat man who happens to be Andy. Only Bowie could pull something like that without it seeming contrived. Such…

I like to think that the implication is that there's some roadie in Bowie's entourage whose sole job is to drag a grand piano everywhere, just in case he has a sudden flash of inspiration.

Liking David Bowie is one of the earliest things I remember doing.

So did approximately 100% of rock stars in the seventies.

I'm planning on going to bed early tonight, and just listening to all of the albums. And probably crying a lot.

Queen Bitch is awesomely queer, and I mean that in the best way.

God, you're right. He always had that paranoia about dying onstage, or being shot at the height of his fame. In a weird way he took that and ran with it. Amazing.

Well, fuck them, is all I can say.

I strolled in to Shakespeare & Co in Paris once, and Lenny Kaye was sitting there playing the guitar. That was pretty cool. But that was Paris. You expect amazing stuff like that.

If I'd been there, I would have been a puddle on the floor. I actually feel kind of faint even just hearing the story.

My Facebook is absolutely going insane. People from all walks of life are reacting to this. It's hitting everyone hard.

We all knew that Warren Zevon was terminally ill, though. This just came through like a thunderbolt.

Loving the Alien
Rock and Roll Suicide
Ashes to Ashes

My family's first reaction was "Quick, let's make sure it's a dumb hoax. It has to be one of those dumb hoaxes. Isn't it?"

This is a guy I've loved since before I could write. He has inspired me at every stage of my life. His music has been there at every turn. He has been there at every turn, telling me that it's OK to be weird and different. His legacy - music, image, artistry, innovation - boy, it is going to loom large, and so it…

Just came here to post the same thing. I am devastated. I have loved him since I was five years old. Thank goodness he was able to have some small artistic renaissance before his passing. Wonderful, wonderful legacy.

The Martian is a comedy? No, Golden Globes. You're a comedy.

He's stopped short of actually saying he'd vote for Trump, but he's certainly said supportive things about him.

Yeah, he's gone the full right-wing nutjob in his dotage. Anti-vax, Trump, Alex Jones, etc etc.
