I'm really looking forward to finally catching Nile live a few times later this year at the Duran Duran shows.

So many difficult truths were right there in front of our faces, waiting to be confronted. All I could think of after my first listen was how excited I was for Bowie's future. I'll never listen to Blackstar the same way again.
I was very emotional throughout but after the first verse of I Can't Give Everything Away I completely lost it. His last song calling back to my favourite Bowie song was just too much for me.
It's gotta be rough to hear that album for the first time with a ton of baggage attached. All first time listeners from 1/10/16 on will only know it as the incredible album that announced Bowie's death.
For those of us that had heard it beforehand, the first posthumous listen was mindblowing. So many difficult truths were right there in front of our faces, waiting to be confronted.

Okay, who cried at the Audi commercial that aired during the Super Bowl?
Okay, who cried at the Audi commercial that aired during the Super Bowl? "Starman" started and that was it--I was sobbing. Fortunately the friend I was with was someone who loves music as we all do here, and she said she understood because his music reminds us of our childhoods (early teen years in my case).
Thankfully that silly Puppy Monkey Baby ad by Mountain Dew was the next ad, and made me laugh. Good job on placement by whoever decides these things.

I don't think so: his treatment was going well during the recording, and by the time they were finishing it up he was in remission. It was only in November that the cancer was found to be back, and to be terminal. When Blackstar was written and recorded he didn't know he was going to die. He'd made a career writing about death and dying. He was very sick though, and he told Visconti to not be excited by the remission, so he may have thought death was likely, or possible. But the album isn't a deathbed goodbye. Though there are goodbyes there...it's complicated, as it always is with Bowie. I still can't believe he's gone.
