well this is one of those news I am not going to believe for next 3 days or so

 

[deep]

Almost posted this when I read it in my paper

David Bowie looks way beyond pop on jazz-inspired 'Blackstar' - LA Times


Nobody will ever be able to write or say anything objective about it again

 

[david]

Fuck cancer, btw. But seriously. A part of music history is gone. But we have the music.

January 10 2016 - David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.

Well, I did not know he had cancer.

 

[Mack_Again]

I hate cancer but it may be inevitable as we humans live so long

 

[Mack_Again]

Well, I did not know he had cancer.

I did not know that, either and that bewildered me as it was written matter-of-factly.

 

[super fly guy]

Can't believe it,right out the blue. Legend.

Oh fuck off, Deep, for once, please.

 

[LemonMelon]

I have nothing to say right now. Absolutely heartbroken.

30 minutes before the news spread I was texting a friend about how good Blackstar is.. And then had to text this: "uhh, David Bowie is dead?" Very surreal. A part of music history is gone, though the music carries on, we'd still like the creator to be around a bit longer. Cancer is horrible, and death is inevitable, but still. let's enjoy his legacy as fans of music and fans of David Bowie.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

Also, the final videos and lyrical content of some of Blackstar's songs now take on new context and meaning.

It's a strange sort of wonderful that we got this one last record.

I was happy just getting The Next Day. Another one, and one that is so wonderfully him, is such a beautiful postscript.

Communication has been lost with Major Tom. He belongs to the stars now...

It's too weird
this is unsettling for us, but for him, his family and loved ones they are at a better place
I've been there at the end with cancer patients, hospice and loved ones, the last couple of weeks are grueling beyond belief I hope you never have to experience it.

I'm shocked. I woke and they were interviewing someone about Bowie and I just thought they were celebrating his new album. So sad.

If I believed in the afterlife, I'd be imagining a nice reunion like this:




Ever the showman, releasing a final grand testament two days before his death.

 

[IWasBored]

Not that I've ever been the world's biggest Bowie fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think I've been that shocked about the death of anyone I don't know/celebrity death since Joe Strummer.

Bowie produced Reed's Transformer L P
lucky to have seen Bowie live about 10 times and Reed about 15 times.

 

[bobsaget77]

Shocked and utterly saddened. I've grown up on Bowie my whole life. I just can't believe this.

Every time I catch myself getting sad, I turn on the magic dance. It's working wonders.

I can hardly believe the same person did that, the music, the costumes, the art, the films, everything he's done in his career. What a wonderful, magic man.

 

[lazarus]

Bowie produced Reed's Transformer L P

Bowie was also British.

He released the "Ziggy Stardust" album.

His wife was the model Iman.

 

[LemonMelon]

I want to go back and examine Blackstar in all its apocryphal glory, but it's way too soon.

Finding Bowie albums in 2003 propelled me down the rabbit hole of record collecting. I'd end up at the David Bowie section and I knew I could go home with something worthwhile. I built up a collection of his 70s to 80s works and it also helped me understand the connection of Eno and Roxy Music and Mott the Hoople. It was like he was the DNA of 70s glam rock.
