AANDD..., when Bowie died I was in DC and my fed program manager, born in 1985's Ohio, came into the conference room saying "So what's the deal with this David Bowie guy?"
At least the other 10 of us gave her weeks of misery for that...

Funny you should post this.
Not to get political but was thinking of the State of the Union address coming up and what we need is to start off with a statement like "Where our country went wrong was when we stopped playing great music. I'll start off with some classic Bowie. Then we get "Moonage Daydream" or "Panic in Detroit" or (fill in the blank).
If I were in charge we would be holding huge ass concerts all over the country with proceeds to go towards causes like animal & child welfare. Every concert would require every person in congress to kick in $1K.
Sorry to bring in politics but mostly about how much we've lost in our current culture. IMHO...
