As a cultural icon for this country...irreplaceable (the word is used too often when someone passes but this time you can count on it).
It was miserable morning today, grey, pouring down with rain and David Bowie was dead - just a sad day!

And what will we be left with? Simon bloody Cowell. Sent from my iPhone On 11 Jan 2016, at 21:34, Kirby McDaniel <[email protected]> wrote: Agreed. I was one of perhaps THE original fanboy in Austin, 1971. I think there was about three of us. The Beatles had broken up, I badly needed a new hero and he was it. There is a new album, BLACKSTAR, which is apparently laden with mortality, and is getting very good reviews. It actually took Bowie a long time to really catch on in the states. I was lucky enough to see a pristine 70mm print of THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH at the Inwood Theater in Dallas. I saw the Diamond Dogs tour in Memphis, the last date which had the enormous sets that were abandoned. I also saw him in Houston, touring behind Station to Station and again in Austin on the Serious Moonlight Tour.

Nominated for a Golden Globe for his song Cat People from the movie of the same name, he can claim up to 39 acting credits. With film appearances such as ‘The Man Who Fell To Earth’ / Christiane F. / The Hunger / Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence / Yellowbeard / Absolute Beginners / Labyrinth / Last Temptation Of Christ / August and The Prestige to name a few, his contribution to the arts is worth remembering. He will be sadly missed…RIP David.
