My friend K texted me to tell me the news. He bought me Bowie's last album The Next Day for Xmas a couple of years ago. It was just about the first Bowie record I'd got since Rebel, Rebel in 1974 I think. I've also got Starman. I wish I'd bought John, I'm Only Dancing, my favourite. I used to like The Sweet in the early 1970's and I think Blockbuster's riff is very similar to The Jean Genie?
When I heard he'd died from cancer my first thought was what type of cancer? Wasn't he a heavy smoker? My second thought was that he almost had his "three score and ten" like Lemmy. They used to die in their 20's and 30's from drug and drink ODs, but now it's old people's diseases.
