David Bowie...oh my stars, he's returned to them....

Yes, yes, this should be on my own LJ, and I shall put it there with lots of Bowie videos. Rules are meant to be broken--or else what's the use of having them? I know damn well there's David Bowie fans in Vintage Ads and I think, as with everyone else, we're all just shocked. I didn't think he looked well but attributed it to overwork on his new album, videos, and play. He was immortal and would never die, right? HOW CAN THIS BE?!?! I've had an ongoing existential crisis for a few years thinking about a world without David Bowie existing in it.

I remember one of the first times I saw him on TV as a wee imp. He was in a dress and I couldn't figure out if he was a man or a woman (I was 4, 1973). Of course my birth mother wouldn't answer my question, aside from telling me I was stupid. I eventually determined it didn't matter what sex he was because he/she was AWESOME. I attribute my open mindedness and acceptance of others to him. I am just sitting here beyond shocked and we have enough music to last us; but we don't have HIM. A genius visionary who perhaps truly was not of this earth. My goodness how can one cry so much over an individual one didn't personally know?

Today is BOWIE BREAK THE RULES DAY!!!!!!!!!! Post Bowie song videos in posts, with no ads. Post your own thoughts in a post---even without a video or ad. NO AD REQUIRED FOR ANYTHING BOWIE RELATED!!!

How about a movie trailer?



It never occurred to me that David Bowie would ever die.

I think the first time I remember seeing him was also when he was in a dress. I was a little older, so I knew he was a man, but I was just so fascinated that he would dare to wear a dress! My daughter called me this morning to see if I'd heard - she was crying. I wonder if he really knew how much of an impact he had on so many lives through the all those years.

My youth, it is dying. Along with Natalie, Scott, Larry, David-freaking-Bowie who always seemed immortal, to me.

Major Tom has taken off for the last time.

I know! Wasn't it just yesterday? I mean, I know I've been a fan for 42 years but what's that? Not long, right??

Check ignition, and may god's love be with you.
