sobrenegade 795 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) This flashed across the screen as I was getting ready to check the weather forecast. He definitely wasn't my "go to" music when I needed a rock n roll fix, but nevertheless I enjoyed his music. It was because of my '50s,'60s and '70s roots I remember another chapter in music history. Rock on dude, goodbye David. http://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/david-bowie-dies-at-age-69-after-battling-cancer/ar-CCniBe?li=BBnb7Kz Edited January 11, 2016 by sobrenegade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) First time I ever saw Bowie was in 1973 on the Midnight Special when he was still doing the Ziggy Stardust act. A long haired high school kid in Alabama, high as a kite wondering what the hell I was looking at on the TV. I turned off the TV and put some Sabbath on the turntable and thought that guy will be gone in a month. Heh... wrong again dude.

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sad. You couldn't turn the radio on in the 80's without hearing his voice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOT 3,743 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Sad. You couldn't turn the radio on in the 80's without hearing his voice. Or in a club. I hung out where the college girls were. I heard plenty of Bowie, and can't say I really minded. It was a means to an end. Edited January 12, 2016 by YOT 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cscharlie 107 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm sure I listened to a lot of his songs on the radio when I listened to pop, before I had an 8 track and started buying albums.... But when I started seing video of him sings live, seemed like he was a little to freaky for me. Way too much "guyliner". Never less, I hope he some how made it into the right place when the time came... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Well, (even on a off day), her was better than Yoko. Yuck man Bowie had way better taste then Lennon the second time around..... Edited January 12, 2016 by Dad2142Dad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dont know if Bowie was a good man or not, never met the guy had no desire to do so. One can appreciate the artist's work without making more or less of them as a man than is deserved. I just was never a fan, but hey he was around so long one does get attached eventually, sorry to see him go but go we all must. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james lambert 3,059 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Pretty uncommon where I grew up in Los Alamos N.M. We had a few long haired hippy druggie types in high school. They diddnt grow up to have high level security clearances and work at the lab. But they did make the police blotter in the paper from time to time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That just fuckin funny right there, I happen to know a few folks that lived there. Apparently the peyote was fairly entertaining... and that explains a lot. Such a common everyday American place that town has always been. Be sure to say thanks to rest of us for building those schools, they were not cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well it was and is the greatest concentration of PHDs and other highly educated people on earth. And about the best paid scientists and technicians , with the smartest kids, Ill give you that. Also about the highest quality best funded school system in the country. Paid for with their property taxes, not yours! But they didnt piss around with peyote, thats the Navajos and such. They had the highest quality weed money could buy. Heck...they had about the best anything money could buy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
