The Man Who Sold the World

[star-warrior]

I'm not a fan of Mr. Bowie.

However, Nirvana did an all acoustic version of it which I particularly liked. It wasn't long after that MTV session when its lead singer killed himself by sticking a pistol in his mouth and pulling the trigger.

What was that movie he was in again?

He frightened the life out of me as a child.

In 1986, he played the wizard in Jim Henson's Labyrinth, he also played in other movies, The man who fell to earth in 1976...

Thanks for the video!

There's a small group of people, including my friend Patrick, here in Philadelphia who have been close to David Bowie for years., They're fans but more, as they're in continuous communication and it's become a friendship.

Bowie's famous live album was recorded in my current home township, Upper Darby, PA, at the Tower Theatre.

SO my degrees of separation? 1.

I have almost all his CDs. Even the soundtrack to the Labyrinth.

DA, When he died, I felt enormous sadness for his baby daughter. But she's in her mid teens now. All that time has passed, and it seems like it's only been in the blinking of an eye.
