They obviously had good upbringing. I said "a millennial" not "all".

If I remember correctly, about a year ago one of our guys - it may have been speeder (Denis) spent an evening chatting with him at a party. He described David Bowie as being a English Gentleman.

Here today, gone tomorrow, one of my favorite Bowie songs, I'd put it up if I knew how, fitting for this sad day, I'm bummed at his passing
RIP David, see ya on the other side

From The Concert for New York City. A great performance at a very emotional time.

How sad. Even worse, a few months ago I talked with a guy who didn't know who Jimmy Hendricks was! That is blasphemy. Every person should be trained on the classics

Bach
Beethoven
Hendricks

p.s. I knew Targa would be putting in the quintessential "Everyone move up one space". True enough.

Who's Jimmy Hendricks? Is he related to Jimi Hendrix?

If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes. Apparently Bowie gave the rendition his seal of approval, calling it "the most poignant version of the song ever created."
Blew me away given Bowie's passing

Name a musician.

Recently died. Died at or around 70 years old, within days of his birthday.
Died suddenly of super aggressive cancer
Wrote, sang and toured for many decades
Defined an entire genre of music forever, had dozens of bands copy/mimic/follow them
Was an Englishman who made America their second homeland and lived there until death.
Performed solo, with an established band, and with many collaborators across genres.
Produced an album right before their death, worked literally to the last day.

It's almost creepy. A year ago you wouldn't put those two names together in any list, but they were doppelgangers.

Then there's Blackstar, which I will also need help in understanding...
