Haha nice. It's a great shot.
What a career.
I feel guilt for not having let it sink in
I haven't cried, and that is making me feel awful, but yeah.
Okay, this is crazy talk. Music is important, our heroes make us happy or sad, but you have to take moments, even insignificant ones, with your loved ones where you can. You have loads of time to grieve in whatever way you see fit.
And besides - Bowie would have wanted you to watch The Bachelor with your girlfriend.

I'm kind of weird in that I don't usually shed tears for a beloved celebrity passing until I see a retrospective on the TV, like on the news.
I've also seen this picture from that shoot floating around:
I found out about half an hour before my girlfriend came over last night. It was bad timing... we hadn't seen each other in a week and a half, and were really excited, but the news just knocked me flat and I just wanted to sit on Twitter and listen to his music for the rest of the night. Ended up sort of ignoring it and watching The Bachelor with her.
I'll never forget the night I was watching the TV Land awards, of all things, and they were doing a retrospective on John Ritter, and all of a sudden I just started bawling my eyes out. And it was so wtf because I mean..I liked Three's Company, sure, but...I had no special affinity for him or anything.
I'm still astounded by the outpouring the grief today. I knew the guy was beloved, but he really was the godfather to not only music nerds, but all nerds and outsiders. He was iconic that way.
Paul McCartney is very old and I fear for my reaction when he goes.
This is the first time I've ever felt particularly emotional about a celebrity's death. To be honest, that sort of emotion had been difficult for me to relate to before now. I guess I had an attitude of "so many people die every day; why does a celebrity deserve special emotional consideration because she is famous?" But I guess there's a big difference when that celebrity's work has really played an emotional role in your life, as is the case for me with Bowie. When Bono dies, it will definitely be difficult.
