    "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

    sounds good. Yeah at first i was listening to songs from the self-titled. the one that came out before space oddity? idk, the project that had the 2 songs i mentioned (love you till Tuesday, there is a happy land, little bombardier, etc). really really liked those. Nothing on Space Oddity or The Man Who Sold the World clicked with me like those yet

    Actually i think his self-titled has been my favorite so far out of his first three albums, liked basically every song on there

    David Bowie would want you to enjoy his art, regardless of the circumstances. He lived and breathed for his music.

    MTY VERY SHALLOW LISTENING

    Unfortunately, but it was during the 70's when "Baby Groupies" were a thing (basically groupies between the age of 12-16). I think the girl he had sex with was also in a relationship with Jimmy Page.

    Hard to realize how different the world was just a few decades ago and stuff like that was considered "normal"

    I'm not in any way trying to dishonor him, but it's a d--- shame this happened :emoji_neutral_face:
