David Bowie - Died Yesterday
"A puzzeled man who questioned what we were here for."

If our purpose on earth is to prepare the table for successive generations to come, while leaving as light a toxic footprint as possible, then David Bowie has done very well by me. His clarion wafts, rising with so gentle a voice, and so wide a musical berth, guarantee his immortality. He's one of the greatest musical artists who has ever lived on this planet. Peace, David.
P.S. My daughter and I cried for you this morning when we heard the news. I'm going to play your music all day long.
