I'll be watching the labyrinth tonight. Wise players would anticipate a Bowie easter egg bubbling to the top of the priority list.

Requiescat in Pace. I guess it's the time for all the great legends to die.

So it goes
Just a searcher
A lonely soul
The last of the dreamers

Bowie was a major influence to me musically. He was a staple in the 80's, you couldn't not know who he was just by the sound of his voice. About a week ago I was looking around on youtube, and the darkstar video came up on my suggestion list. So I gave it a play and remember thinking, "man, this isnt great, but its Bowie so it's still awesome", and about half way through the video I kind of realized, man, hes not going to be around forever, and what a sad ***** day that will be.. and it is

R.I.P. Major Tom, the world is truly now a darker place

Ya, his manager said he knew a year ago this is what he was doing with this album, leave it to Bowie to turn dying into a work of art. I knew the album came out but hadnt got around to listening to anything outside darkstar and lazarus, and right now, I cant even. I'll check it out in a week or so

I was going to edit, but its David Bowie, I'll double post all I want...

just for the benefit of the generation that knows him as the "Afraid of Americans" guy (excellent song though) heres a great recap of his early year I give to you... Mr Stardust himself, blown the hell out on cocaine in 1974
