Now, we have to make another change, and adjust to life without one of the pioneer's of the 70's.

 

RIP  Diamond Dog, you knew about today, when it was still yesterday.

 

Major Tom to Ziggy, you were an era, you beat dope and stood tall, Ashes to Ashes bro, I read the story last night and something died inside.

My favorite was the Lets Dance album (featured Stevie Ray Vaughn on lead guitar).  And to this day every time I hear Modern Love it makes me want to dance and sing along.  One of his most commercial, but still my favorite.  RIP David.

Thanks for this Umbert. I just saw this a bit ago and it is sad.

 

What a legend and a fellow that overcame much in his life.

He'll be remembered for a long time and rightfully so.

 

He was one of the good guys, and expressed himself in odd

ways but he was a real pioneer in many ways within the industry.

Brlilliant artist if one could get by the crazy costumes, but they all

meant something within his message. He'll be missed for sure.

 

Sometimes we have to look below the surface to understand what

made guys like Bowie tick...he was a genius.
