    Really sad when I heard the news this morning. I never got a chance to dig super deep into his catalog outside of Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust & one of his greatest hits albums. I plan to though at some point this week.

    Anyways couple of my favorites

    for some reason i woke up at 3:30am today and read that he passed--i tried to go back to sleep, couldn't, so i went to the gym at 4am and listened to ziggy stardust all the way through while working out in an empty gym. i know it sounds weird, but this was one of the coolest experiences i've had in awhile. rip to a true creative genius :emoji_slight_frown:

    I didn't even think to post this thread because I've been grieving all day. It's like I lost somebody I knew. RIP to one of the greatest artist of all time. & my idol. It definitely is ridiculous how people that used to care less about him are into him now, f--- that. This man was timeless and he'll live on forever. Everybody who reads this better at least listen to Blackstar and understand how much of an artist this man was, even in death he was true to the art. There truly is a Starman waiting in the sky.. RIP Bowie, Ziggy, Aladdin Sane, Major Tom, Halloween Jack, and the Thin White Duke.

    I'm not gonna pretend I'm a huge fan or anything but the man was a legend and ahead
    of his time. I was watching this interview earlier and you can tell he really cared for a better world.
    Rest in peace to a real one.

    "I received an email from him seven days ago. It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: 'Thank you for our good times, brian. they will never rot'. And it was signed 'Dawn'. I realise now he was saying goodbye." - Brian Eno
