the stars look very different today
i saw a couple references to davie bowie on tumblr this morning and was so baffled i texted wrenlet - "did david bowie die? didn't he just release an album and have a birthday?" "yes, yes, and yes :( ".
he made it acceptable to be proudly, mind-bogglingly, breathtakingly weird, and while he was never the formative influence for me that he was for so many other people (altho you could probably argue that point regarding his turn as the goblin king), i liked the songs of his that i knew, and i could appreciate all the things that made him such an icon. to be honest i never even thought he could die. i thought he'd be like keith richards, just in nicer suits.
when i was in the ambulance i could hear the song heroes playing in my head. i kept flashing in and out of consciousness, everything was really bright, and i remember thinking, "wait, is david bowie really god?"
