been listening to Bowie the last 2 days and relooking at his videos. I was 4 when I first heard Bowie and loved his music. As I grew he grew with me, his music seemed capture what was happening in my life, I could relate to so many of his songs, he was a rebel as I was, his artistry, his fashion and experimentation and being unique and true to yourself was inspiring. he was a genius. Im now 50 still a rebel and I refuse to conform. David, wouldnt want me too and because of that Thank you for being a big part of life!

I wish David Bowie's songs could be heard more on radio in my country, I miss his music, the most popular seem to be "Let's dance", "Absolute beginners'' and "Under pressure".

David goodbye, despite the language barrier you have changed my life from adolescence when you discovered with "scary monsters"; always with me, with love from Italy.

[AndreySmolyakovGA]

In the 11 days since Bowie's death, my local radio stations, all of them, not a single one of them have played a single Bowie song. I live in a crappy city.

[sci-firockjazzbluesart-f]

Rest in peace Major Tommy Ziggy Star Dust David Bowie.

[curiousmonkey]

He and Davey Havok of AFI are right about that. Every radio station should have played only David Bowie songs all day long 24 hrs straight.

[muntiayan]

lagu pertama saya mengenali starman ialah " lets dance" . fikirku ia maklum masa tu saya masih kecil.

[Muskateering]

How dare Cameron talk about Bowie at all. How dare he.

"Even though this is almost universally considered a tragic event, I have to say it in the same monotonous voice, because anything else would be bias."
