Piping in for Bowie as well. His music has been a constant, driving force in my life. He's one of the biggest reasons my brother and I decided to start making music of our own. In place of any religious dogma, his albums sit chiefly among our own makeshift gospel. When he retired from making music, I was heartbroken, but I always held out hope he'd be back. When he finally did come back, it was with a great record! And now a second one! Hell, I've been listening to "Blackstar" pretty much non-stop since it came out on Friday. Not one hour before news of his death hit, I posted "I really, really missed David Bowie, and I'm thrilled as f*** "The Next Day" wasn't a one off!" on Facebook only to come back a little later on to see that he was dead. Now, I am back to missing him all over again, but this time I don't get to hold out hope he'll be back. He's just dead and it sucks.
