RIP David Bowie

[Missy]

Poor Stevie she is cute but looks so sad in that video. I guess because of Robin.

Stevie surprised many by saying she liked the Twilight movies and books. She's even admitted she watches daytime soaps. But so do I so I can't knock her for it :S I have some corny tastes.

I've read books about these artists but often have bad memory. Another indirect connection - Stevie's work with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. Dave and Annie Lennox have both posted online tributes to Bowie, even though Annie has had her own share of personal tragedy lately. Annie was very Bowie at times with the whole androgynous look and bright red hair she sometimes had.

I'm still sad and shocked at the loss of a huge cultural icon. He could take a conventional seeming pop format, and move it far beyond that. Themes of 'displacement' are so relevant these days and he was covering that 40 years ago.

Keith Richards has made me do a double take. In 2008 he was quoted as saying something quite mean about Bowie and his work. Now he has a big tribute on Twitter.

"I’m deeply saddened by such a sudden shock. David was a true original in everything he did and, along with many others... I’m going to miss him. Another goodbye to another good friend." - Keith Richards

Goes for full hour but one of his great final performances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY54qW7SK8Y
