BB1 got one right the other week that the uni-fuckers didn't. She was still 11 at the time, it was a happy time...

Got to stop listening to Space Oddity because I need to do something productive with my day other than continually wiping encrusted salt water from the inside of my glasses.

I could if I was tempted to have a surreal or absurd moment but alas I can't make such a bizarre comparison.
Now if you give me a few million I could perform a few charitable acts. Needless to say I would appoint somebody - tax deductible - to handle my publicity.
I don't suppose working with people in the community who have had a 'bad time' for over forty years would count? And that is without singing to them!
Anyway...I'm still trying to get over Beethoven's tragic death but that is another story.
I wonder what will happen when Dylan or Cohen dies? My, my! Phew!
With his lifestyle he expected to be dead at thirty himself, he got 42 years more than most of his peers.

have you ever explored your dark side?

Neither of them are British - so there won't be a lot going on over here - and tbh Cohen means very little to me apart from his songs & Dylan sounds thoroughly obnoxious as a person.

Surely music should transcend all national and international borders? It does for me.
Cohen - genius. A poet who adds music to his poetry as opposed to being a lyricist.
Dylan - a brilliant balladeer and narrator of Americana al la Guthrie.

Dylan will be massive, not quite as big, but massive. Bowie will top him because, even tho Dylan was musically the far more important figure (and there'd be no Bowie without him) Bowie had a wider artistic influence - in fashion, film/video, and even technology. Plus he was British. Probably the most important British artist of my generation, like it or not.
Cohen will the papers' main front page photo, with the story inside. And a big Radio 4 story.

A nod:
"As we know from his songs about them on Hunky Dory, Bowie had other formative American influences: Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol. Dylan’s musical transformations and insatiable artistic restlessness set an example Bowie would follow, while Warhol’s multimedia explorations of American culture, from the underground to the mass media, also prefigured Bowie’s merging of high and low culture into something futuristic and sexy."

I've only just opened up today's Guardian. Jesus, what is that? Six pages PLUS an entire 12 page pullout gatefold section. How did they pull all that together and spend all day crying?
You're very clever! I've never seen "Christiane F" - read the book, of course, but it might be good to see the film.
And it even has subtitles.

I've been finding it difficult to know what to say about this to anyone since yesterday, it still hasn't sunk in.
I loved Bowie from a teen onward and I was at college when Heroes was released. Some nights after working late I'd have a smoke and play side two in its entirety to unwind, drifting off to sleep before the end. Sheer magic.
