Terrible news. DB was truly one of the greats. I went past 40 Stansfield Road this morning at 8.30 to pay my respects.

We have indeed. I dread the demise of the rest of my musical heroes, such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
The first album of his I bought, was Space Oddity. It was incredible, it was the only album I ever had that I wore out, and had to buy a second copy.
I feel that some on this thread have lost sight of the difference between the man and his music. If I refused to listen to any artist who was not absolutely flawless in their personal life, or to those whose politics are different to mine, I wouldn't be listening to much. I find it quite sad, that people cannot simply either post what his music meant to them, or their view of his place in musical history, but insist on dragging in what they perceive as character flaws. I wonder how comfortable these people would be, if their entire life was laid out on the boards for comment?

Looks like the party in the Albert is going to be busy tonight.
There's going to be a big David Bowie party in Brixton tonight
They're also trying to do a street party in Windrush Square.

People tend to mourn celebrities because it reminds them of their own mortality.

You don't have to know someone to have your life changed by their work, and then be subsequently be moved by their death. Bowie inspired an awful lot of people.

Rock n roll suicide.
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall to wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
You're so natural, religiously unkind
Oh no love! You're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care
Oh no love! You're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on with me and you're not alone
Gimme your hands 'cause you're wonderful
Gimme your hands 'cause you're wonderful
Oh gimme your hands

As has been said before; there is nothing odd about being emotional over the death of someone they didn't know. He made an impact on people's lives. Just like Thatcher did. And I'm damn sure her passing caused a lot of emotions on the day.
As for "grown men"? Is it supposed to be a badge of masculinity to check ourselves and not express emotion? What decade are we in?
Just remembering how many times Bowie was playing at those memorable times in my younger days.
Especially the Ziggy gig in 73, singing along to Five Years my arm on my girlfriend's shoulder and sadly reflecting that she too, wherever she is today will think back to those magical times and remember the innocence and joy of that wonderful night.
Thank you Mr Jones you immensely talented real star, that will forever shine in my heart!

people mourn celebs like bowie because they have been a large part of their lives for a long time, especially bowie who started in the 60s!

i was referring to spookyfranks post. i assume he is a man? him and his chums having a little group cry sounds like something a child or teen would do, is what i meant, rather than anything gender specific. emphasis on grown.
you are either thick or misrepresenting me. if it's the former, then i am sorry for calling you thick.
and after listening to some of the whitewashers i think the decade might be the seventies. you tell me. you're one of the ones wearing flares.

You have some very strange views. It's entirely normal for males to cry over things that have moved them, whatever their age.

Well, it depends on how much you value the clarity of your posts I suppose. If I was dyslexic, I would use a spell checker. It is my view that a disability is only such if there is no alleviating remedy. I am not physically disabled because I can't walk more than a few hundred yards without pain. I have a car that alleviates the situation. Don't play the disability card when therev are things that you can do to help yourself.

Didn't you know that you're only affected by people you know personally? Music, books, movies etc, they don't affect you emotionally, make you think about things or change the way you see the world. Inspired? Pfft! That's impossible. Therefore it's completely inappropriate to mourn the creators of those works. Now, if those works had affected you in some way then it'd be fair enough, but that's not the world we live in.

Indeed. I even had the Lower Third album. If anyone can't find it, I'll be happy to E-mail it.

Whether or not I'm a flares wearing thicko; that has no bearing on feeling emotional or expressing emotions. I'd rather be confident in expressing emotions than keeping them stunted.
