Apart from referencing a few of his songs in the past, I don't claim to be the a huge David Bowie fan, although I am a fan. Hearing of his passing, as I'm sure many are, I'm thinking about the contributions he's made to music, film, fashion, and art.
Probably like most people my age, my first memory of seeing David Bowie was in Labyrinth. He was unique pop culture icon who was extremely talented and took chances with everything he did. I think "Space Oddity" is one of the most beautiful and unique songs ever written.
David Bowie was so badass that when he knew he was dying, he filmed the music video for "Lazarus", pretty much alluding to his own death. It's not my favorite song or video by him, but you gotta admit he was fierce and acted fearless in the face of death.
Despite the grief for his loss, I am happy to see my facebook feed blow up with posts that very much celebrate the joy he brought to the world:
RIP David Bowie, thank you for producing beautiful art your whole life!
