The rock guitarist Joel Madden, quoting Changes, wrote simply: "Turn and face the strange".
The rapper Kanye West said: "David Bowie was one of my most important inspirations, so fearless, so creative, he gave us magic for a lifetime."

In the same interview, Bowie said: "My entire career, I've only really worked with the same subject matter. The trousers may change, but the actual words and subjects I've always chosen to write with are things to do with isolation, abandonment, fear and anxiety, all of the high points of one's life."

The man was surely worth a thread of his own!

RIP.

Always on the periphery of my musical choices growing up, i'd say I only came to really appreciate the music of Bowie in the last decade. Man was a genius.

That door. He unlocked it. For me, for you. For us. He gave us everything. He gave us ideas, ideas above our station. All THE ideas and a specific one. Of life. The stellar idea that we can create ourselves whoever we are. He let us be more than we ever knew possible. There is nothing greater. Nothing.

I presume he was a heavy smoker. So thin

Dave Fanning was on RTÉ yesterday talking about him lighting one fag off the other in an interview.

Smokers always die way younger. All of the smoking parents of the kids I was in school with have passed away.
Smoking is lethal.

Sorry, but I didn't know whether to put this in here or in the WTF thread.

Meath County Board vice-chairman Peter O'Halloran said he was "caught off guard" after rock icon David Bowie was included in the county's votes of sympathy on Monday night as a prank.
It was announced that legendary artist Bowie passed away in the early hours of Monday morning to a global outpouring of grief and tributes, which extended to the Meath County Board meeting.
O'Halloran's inclusion of "the Bowie family in London on the death of David" in the votes of sympathy was met with laughter, but the vice-chairman apologised for the incident afterwards.
"I was caught off guard and unwittingly read it out," he told hoganstand.com.
"I was caught off guard and unwittingly read it out"
"It drew a short bout of laughing from the delegates before everyone realised it was a prank and the seriousness and reverance that is normally given to this part of a county committee meeting.
"This is an item reserved for deceased Meath gaels who have given different levels of service to the GAA in Meath and is always given the respect it deserves.
"I am sure Mr Bowie is entitled to a vote of sympathy but by the correct body and the correct manner.
"I will do my best to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again and I am disappointed that a delegate took this action.
"I have to admit that in the cold light of day I can't understand why someone would do this. It shows a deep lack of respect to Meath gaels and, indeed, to Mr Bowie also."

It was no prank. This was the man who wrote Scary Monsters.
