RIP Ziggy Stardust

[NickFitz]

His death was announced on his Facebook page; it says "{name redacted}, {name redacted}, {name redacted} and 316,674 others like this."

I suspect they don't actually like it at all…

It was vaguely amusing watching friends trying to decide whether to 'like' the status I posted after my mum died. (Scuttles off to check) 7 did, but I know what they meant

...Some lune attributed the fall of the Berlin wall to said entertainer...

Yeah - it was those loons at The German Foreign Office. But it was thanking Bowie for helping to bring down the wall. Not an attribution.

the violence only broke out when Genesis were playing, Phil Collins has that effect on some people.

The world will seem far less strange without him and that's no good thing

I must admit, I couldn't really face listening to any of my Bowie CDs in the days following his passing. Too sad. Just gave Hunky Dory a spin on the way into work & listening to Life on Mars gave me a bit of a lump in the throat, I have to admit.

That said, when I was fortunate enough to have been amongst the crowd in front of the Pyramid Stage to witness him belt out Heroes with one of the most spectacular firwork shows I've ever seen as a backdrop, the tears were literally rolling down my face

That was certainly One of life's reaffirming moments.
