I am probably in the minority on this, but when I first heard that, my initial response was "I wish they had taken that one and he kept All the Young Dudes for himself"

Bowie also seemed so generous with other artists. And I hear more and more of that generosity as artists he worked with pay their respects. I always think of the story of 70's David Bowie begging Mott the Hoople not to break up, promising he would write them a hit song. And he did.

I really need to re-watch those later episodes…

I'm going with "too obscure"…..

I agree that Branson has lost his edge and passion as he has fully enmeshed himself in the Crawley family. But I think he was always a capitalist, in that what he was chafing at was the class system that kept everyone in their place, not that the government needed a bigger role in society. Was socialism taking off in…

When was that introduced (the adoption)? I just don't remember anything about that. Was that from the 2008 film?

I know this is expecting too much realism for the X-Files, but I did wonder periodically "where is their kid?". The child wouldn't be grown yet, right? When Scully said "I can barely get in touch with Mulder", I thought "surely you have some contact…b/c you have a child together". And Scully appears to work…

I'm a big fan of the Dowager Countess, but that supposedly "noble" reason for wanting to keep the hospital under local (read: Crawley) control b/c "less control by the people, more control by the state, until the individual's own wishes count for nothing"…… is one of her guiding principles? Since when does she care…

I actually feel like I've seen Gillian Anderson in more things than David Duchovony since the end of the X-files. Granted, I was aware he was in Californication; but that may have been b/c there was some issue of his "sex addiction" in the news…?

I admit to being surprised when I heard they did this to her AGAIN, in 2016, when everyone involved is pretty aware they couldn't do this reboot without her.

Honestly, one of my fondest memories of Glenn Frey is the lovely speech he gave while inducting Linda Ronstadt into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

He, like many Brits of the time, loved Mott the Hoople, and when they were ready to break up, he begged them not to, promising to write them a hit song. And he did, with "All the Young Dudes:" being a classic Bowie tune. I always think of that story when I think of Bowie's generosity with his fellow artists.

I stormed into my teenage years right along with MTV, and the period between 1980 and 1990 was huge in formulating my love of music; and David Bowie was a big part of that. I was entirely too young for Ziggy Stardust when it first came out, but somewhere around age 11 or 12, I bought it, and at the age of 45, it is…

As someone doing advocacy on issues including LGBT rights in red-state NC, I don't agree that those scenes with the freeholders were more caricature than real. We have folks in our General Assembly, and on local town/city councils, who act exactly like that. And in plenty of cases, more so. Seriously.

I get that Ardent started releasing Christian music, but that isn't all they do, is it? I was just in Memphis in October, and, of course, I stopped at Ardent Studios. Those young guys I was talking to didn't mention any of that kind of music in our conversations, and were pretty enthused about Ardent recently signing…
