Being an avid fan for the last 30 or so years I still feel sad (in a sad I didn’t know him way – letting go of some of my youth way) … I took the wife’s car (Bluetooth connection) today so I could listen to his new album on the way in, its such a sad album which of course I guess its meant to be.
My brush with it all was when I was at school and we had a great RE teacher by the name of Desmond Tinch who was an avid Bowie fan and somehow had connections with him he took a few of us to the Labyrinth premiere at Leicester square (I was 13 yrs old).
His music really did shape my young teenage years, I never really thought of myself as a groupie or someone that had an idol but I guess in a way he was…strange that I considered myself not like that.
His music always manages to suit a mood be it happy or sad and not many artists can do have that effect (personal taste I guess)
I wont get to see him live again, which I had hoped I would.
One of my favourite songs of all times don’t know why !
