Took my mother to see him. She was 66 years old then and had been one of his biggest fans since the early 70's. We ended up with nosebleed seats so I took my enormous binoculars so she could see him. During a short break on stage David began waving and pointing up where we were sitting and mom started squealing and waving back. Apparently he noticed the reflections from the lenses (picture two huge purple eyeballs) and figured only a real fan would lug those things around just to see him. Whether he really was waving at her or not, that was one of the happiest moments of her life. There will never be another David Bowie. The man. The myth. The legend.

"Musical chameleon" is right. After touring with Nine Inch Nails and hearing their sound, Bowie and Brian Eno - a longtime collaborator of his on songwriting - came up with "I'm Afraid of Americans," a song so much in Trent Reznor's NIN style that when Trent remixed it for the US single release, the end result REAAAALLY wasn't far off from the studio version. (The music video with Trent as "Jonny" is of the Nine Inch Nails "V1" remix.)

@HardNews TV4 Check out the liner notes on Texas Flood; SRV thanks Bowie. If Bowie and NIle Rodgers hadn't seen SRV in Montreaux, SRV & Double Trouble might have spent another two or three years playing bars in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston. The fact is that SRV was not able to come to an arrangement on touring with Bowie on the subsequent Bowie tour because of his own commitments being on the brink of mega-stardom with Texas Flood getting ready to debut. Think about this: what would Layton and Shannon have done with SRV backing up Bowie all over the world for the next 10-14 months? As it is, it all worked out for the best; I mean only guitar geeks like me even know who Earl Slick (SRV's replacement on the Bowie tour--and an unrecognized god himself!!) is.

I love these reactions, it's so fun to see someone really get into it. His voice is so incredible, and in the mid to late '70s he had a band with a monster of a rhythm section. The grooves in Station to Station are just brilliant.

Bowie's natural singing voice was a higher end baritone, with a very pleasant and surprisingly high falsetto. Sounds like two people, but it's all Bowie. One of the greatest artists in rock music. Glad you enjoyed it, Bowie was a treasure.

By FAR the best tribute to Bowie after his untimely passing was Stings live tribute performance of " "Blackstar" - probably the closest we will ever hear to an actual live Bowie performance of the song.

“Lazarus” blew my mind. I listened to it soon after his death and chilling is a good word for it. What a singular talent Bowie was. What other big names from the 70s could make music like that in 2016?

There was a TV series in the 90s called Golden Years that used this song as its theme. Notable because it was written by Stephen King ( who is a huge Bowie fan). If you've read Firestarter, you might consider Golden Years to be a sequel as it features The Shop.
