I think this post is long overdue for me. I will forever be entranced by the wonder that IS David Bowie. He is just one of the coolest cats that went through the music world. What was really great about David Bowie was that he created his own style. True artists are on the front line, waiting to shock and awe you, and David really raised some eyebrows. His claim to fame with his alter ego "Ziggy Stardust" was an alien being who is attempting to present humanity with a message of hope in the last five years of its existence. Ziggy Stardust is the definitive rock star: sexually promiscuous, wild in drug intake and with a message, ultimately, of peace and love. How cool is that? So many other bands stole his style and were inspired by his weird music that he became a legend all over the world. My all time favorite song in the entire world is "Golden Years". I realized this when I was in 7th grade and I saw a Knight's Tale for the first time. I think we all know the scene I am referring too. I have included a link for that particular scene so everyone can remember how cool it really was ( RIP Heath). But basically, one of the things I would love to do before I die.. is see him live. I don't think it will happen because he no longer tours, but if anyone catches word of a secret underground jam session.. I will sell my liver for tickets. Major Tom signing off.......

"So I turned myself to face me
but I never caught a glimpse,
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test."
