What is more disturbing than Bowie slipping from our lives, is that
friendships and acquaintances made through Bowie also slip away.
Don't forget to keep your head warm!

My first Bowie album was Live At The Tower Philadelphia,
was about 15 (in '77), rushed out and bought more... I
remember being struck with the character sketches, the glimpses
of dystopian societies. The seemingly insight laden quips.
I sought out Orwell's 1984 as a result 'Winston loved big brother
in the end', was compelled to read Ayn Rand's Anthem as well.
The mind of a kid boggles at the breadth of it all. Was a real
change of pace from the typically bland American fare of the period.
Thought I had made a stunning discovery. It was some kind of lucidity,
a luminescence that drew me in.
He was an immensely talented story-teller to me.
