But then again, Bowie fans expect nothing less. Bowie has always embraced change and changeability. Fleetwood Mac is a whole different animal... at least with regard to their live shows. I think SYW is a very fresh, creative album for the most part, now if we could just hear some of it live!

Bowie simply rocks. His mix contest rocked, even though I had a hard time making one. He has always embraced the cutting edge stuff. He was even one the first artists to embrace XM Radio and the internet. And I LOVE how he lets people bootleg his stuff. At the last show I went to, the guy in front of me was holding up his recorder in the air towards the stage and it was the only the third row. Bowie just encourages the love of music and I find that utterly fantastic.

And just look at his albums. He doesn't slack off. He practically releases them every year these days and they get better and better. I mean, Heathen? Reality? We're talking masterpieces here.

PS: If he can have the audacity to release Beauty and the Beast as a single, he can certainly have the audacity to open a show with it!!
