David Bowie, RIP

by

David Bowie, dead at 69.

Keith Richards, still alive.

How does that work again?

For those who believe these deaths happen in threes… Natalie Cole and Lemmy.

  2. There’s a whole lot of people out there. Even if you narrow the pool to just celebrities in the English speaking world, there are still so many that you can easily find three of them dying one after the other. You just have to open up the time aperture a little. It is a statistical certainty, not a “rule”. Not like three and then a break. It is three, then another three, then another three. Or on other words, a totally uniform distribution of celebrity death, as well as celebrities having babies, getting married, checking into rehab, and every other possible human activity.

    Bowie was old. He had it coming. No one lives forever.

  3. Now he belongs to the slob sisters in the tabloid media who will mourn and wail as long as it gets them published. At some point his utility date will expire and then, so will he.

    Perhaps there is a profound connection with the masses embedded in his life. If so, Circus Soleil will sell $200 tickets to the show they concoct in Vegas built around his music until nobody cares any more.

  4. Apparently Bowie was battling cancer for almost two years, and still managed to put out an album either this year or last year.

    “Ground Control to Major Tom: Commencing countdown, engines on. Check ignition, and may God’s love be with you.”

  5. Have yet to read a single negative comment anywhere about Bowie. Even if you weren’t a fan you knew who he was and could acknowledge his immense influence on popular culture.

  6. Very sorry to hear this. Got to see him in concert once (the “Serious Moonlight” tour, which coincided with his role in “The Hunger,” and the soundtrack for “Cat People.”) I’ve always liked him, and that was probably the BEST show I’ve ever seen, at least in terms of production values.

    Requiescat in Pace, David.

  7. His song “Under Pressure” with Queen is one of my top 10 all time favorites. His music style went from pop to mainstream to new wave. He is one of the great artists of the 1970s and 80s. Too bad he passed away when 50K ISIS people survive.

  8. @ Bastiat Fan: I saw The Hunger years ago. I was a teenaged boy at the time, so naturally I kind of lost interest once the lesbian romance kicked in ;). I would have rather the film just been all Bowie and Catherine Deneuve.

  9. Sean L: I wish the movie had followed the book more closely. Oh, and FTW: a year or two after the movie came out, I was working at Nordstrom (as a display designer), and got to actually MEET Catherine Deneuve during the launch of a fragrance she had licensed her name to. As I recall she was REALLY short, absolutely gorgeous–and, I’m told, was a COMPLETE BITCH to everybody.
