Apparently, Donald Trump is the same age as David Bowie. Good going, God.  :rolleyes:

Well they were both 80s icons.

One as a legendary cultural icon and the other as a murderer of a beloved spring american football league.

Bowie's best songs had already been recorded in 1980. (And his very best, Space Oddity, was there when 1970 rolled in).

Though his 80s stuff was extremely 80s, I'll give you that.

No surprise God prefers the company of a highly talented musician to an obnoxious blowhard.  Expect Trump to live past 100.

Yeah, why do you think Castro is still alive?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I just listened to life on mars. I've been listening to all his music.  :(

I think even his worst material is still at the very least interesting, and often better than much of the other stuff out there.

This list sucks - no Tina Turner mentioned.

I really don't know why you like that duet so much. I like both singers but not a huge fan of that song.

I've decided I should make an effort to listen to his stuff again. Used to listen to his early records rather a lot but haven't done so lately. Never really had a go at much of the later stuff.
Have to say though, just watched the video for his version of China Girl, which to me was always an Iggy Pop song with only a vague awareness there was also a Bowie version.
So very 80s :lol:

Also no mention of Kashmir. The Cynic is a great song. Well, a good song.

What I have listened/watched of his new one is pretty damn good.

I'd pick Ziggy Stardust, personally.

I'm listening to Iggy Pop's China Girl, which up til now I didn't know existed. Bowie's is much better.
