thank you David Bowie

for the blue nail varnish
for the glitter and the stripes
for the hair cut suggestions and the fights I had with my mother
for the wild dancing and shaking of my head until I felt numb and crazy and free
for all the gorgeous snogging on the dance floors
for the glimpse of rebellion you promised me in my youth
for the music
for the music
for the music

I hadn't even heard that he had died until I saw your post. I'm shocked!

Let's dance. Under the moonlight. The serious moonlight.

Such sad news this morning.

A group of friends and I were talking quietly early this morning when a man said that he had just heard on his car radio that David Bowie had died and then spoke of being at a David Bowie concert in Canada many years ago. A shock. When I think of David Bowie, this always comes to mind:

And Ground Control to Major Tom.

I'm still reeling at the news ...

It's a David Bowie world today for sure.
