David Bowie has left us, but we are not alone.

I was lucky enough to see David Bowie twice on his “Sound & Vision” tour in 1990 – once near Indianapolis and another time outside Chicago – and a third time at the Area2 music festival outside NYC in 2002 that got shut down near the end of his set due to a massive thunderstorm that swept through the area.  He still put on a great show.

Bowie’s influence on music, art, film, and the world in general can never be fully determined.  He was one of the greatest artists of our time and leaves behind an amazingly legacy and millions of inspired souls that will only grow in number across time.

He seemed to be from another planet, as he sometimes portrayed himself early in his career, but all accounts from his colleagues is that he was a good bloke, a true Brit, and a charming down-to-Earth gentleman.

Our lives and the Earth are better because he shared his sounds and visions with us.  If you are saddened by his passing, honor him by sharing yours.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
