Really shocked. This one is big for me.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I woke up in the middle of the night because there was a gale here, so I opened my iPad and saw this in Google News. The site was an unfamiliar one, so I thought, "It's got to be a hoax. Hasn't this happened to Bowie before?" How I wish it were.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn. Bowie and Lou Reed were the two artists who most influenced my musical tastes.
Sad now.
Obligatory Bowie quote: "It's Monday."

Me too. His music was and is such a huge part of my soundtrack.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I loved his music, of course, but I didn't feel a huge personal connection to him. But it's sad to me because it feels like something entirely unique is gone. The world is less.

This is nice, from Twitter:
If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.

The only thing I want to do to day is flop on the floor, listen to David Bowie music, and feel intensely sad.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I overheard something about this at work today and was praying I'd misheard. I wonder how Jilli is holding up? I knew he'd had some health issues, but nobody I've heard who worked on the record or the musical mentioned about anything current. Dammit, he was supposed to be eternal.
