I had no idea he passing would affect me this much, don't know where its coming from.
Not only did he bless us with his craft, he brought so many into the lime light. Without him we would not know SRV like we do. Iggy pop would not be where he is today.
Iggy Pop The Idiot is one of my all time favorite albums, every song a treat. David produced it and performs on it. It is the beginnings of one of his (Bowie) greatest hits China Girl.
He took a blues guitarist's solo and put in the dance/discoish song "Lets Dance"
He is one of those rare individuals that really "got" life and never did anything half assed. He did everything first class.
Bowie albums were, for the most part, all different, he did not keep recycling the same material over and over.
He spoke his mind, and for the most part stayed out of trouble over the years.
A truly gifted person that choose to share his life and craft with us but at the same time remain private.
He will be missed, but his spirit lives on and fortunately we have strong documentation of material to make us smile for years to come.
Planet earth is blue and there is nothing you can do!
