Bowie...is he really my first?!?!

Wow. I have made through the entire day will all my personal walls in place. Then I saw this pic, and I remembered, I meant to run a play list of his today....

First song and I am bawling. As a grown assed damn man. Space Oddity was the mainstay of my angst ridden teen years as a social outcast that never really understood.

Holey ****...is this the first celebrity to have an impact on my life???

Literal water works as I write this!

Even before he passed, that song always made me a little misty. "Space Oddity" and "Life on Mars?" are just the best. I've had the displeasure of seeing too many rock icons and legends pass in my life, beginning with John Lennon when I was in 4th grade.
