10 years. I can’t quite believe that this wonderful picture was taken just days before his death. But then it’s Starman, so of course I can.
Bowie was my first introduction to proper music and that opened the doors to an endless world of riches. For me his life and music showed that things could be different. Wonderful, ambiguous, inspiring, consoling, sometimes terrifying but different.
My cousin played him to me. Space Oddity. It blew my 10 year old mind. When he died she posted this. I love it and re-read it often. Hope you don’t mind cous.
Thanks Starman. We miss you.
When there is nothing left to say - a symphony plays - Heroes and angels legends and saints rejoice at your homecoming, one to the many to me all of the above - bless you for every song that helped this weird and q***r caterpillar to a butterfly to behold. My heart bids fond adieu.
