Favorite song?

Fame followed by Space Oddity. I was never a fan of the avant-garde costumes and presentation because I think he was an excellent song writer and didn't need the shtick. RIP.

Very sad to see zoom go. Ziggy will be missed. I was a big fan and saw him live in Cleveland during the Spiders from Mars tour. I enjoyed Mick Ronson (his lead guitarist), I played a lot of his stuff in bands back then. Yeah, I went the glam rock phase for awhile. The intersting thing about David was how he successfully re-invented himself at three different time. You'll be missed, Mr. Jones.

Five Years was my fav....  But the Ziggy Stardust album in its entirety we still my fav....  Ahem, I still play it today.

Holy Shit. I was sure this was just another of those annoying celebrity death hoaxes. I had no idea he was even sick.  

RIP Ziggy. 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Wow, I was just doing a listening retrospective because of his birthday and posted some favorites in the listening thread. Commencing countdown, engines on. RIP.

Below is the best tribute to David Bowie ever. Canadian Astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield recorded this from the ISS. Bowie loved it.

This sucks.  David Bowie put together one of the most varied bodies of music ever.  It had something for everyone from "Space Oddity" and "Ziggy Stardust" to "Suffragatte City", "Fame", "Changes" and one of my all time favorite collaborations "Under Pressure".

Have his greatest hits on my playlist right now. The world lost a true artist today, RIP David Bowie.

Relevant and fruitful to the day he died. Blackstar is fantastic. He packed a lot of living into 69 years and he did it his way.

great songs (my wife was a big fan).  But very creepy in presentation.  Still an icon to many from a couple certain decades.  Don't forget the movie Labyrinth

There's something I learned from Bowie when I was a very young child that I still repeat today whenever I'm told something that applies to everyone isn't fair:  "[y]ou say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is."

 

Glad to see others here remember the movie too.

I kind of thought his last album was pretty dark but had no clue.

Big Mick Ronson fan here, too - and Bowie, as well, of course. Ronson was cool; as a winter project one year I still have vague ideas of buying an Epiphone Les Paul Custom, stripping it, and modding it - I couldn't afford to do it to a Gibson, so an Epi would have to suffice...

And of Bowie's tracks I always loved the Prettiest Star, Ronno's and Marc Bolan's lead parts are equally good on both versions.

Ah yes... So, I assume the Epi was all white, right. And, you may remember this little known classic solo effort that Bowie helped him produce....

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
