Cool David Bowie Tributes

When Elvis died there was no Internet. We read the newspapers and cut out the reports and obituaries. And we watched the news on TV. For a couple of days.

David Bowie has died. The first single I ever bought was Space Oddity (the second time round). I listen to at least one of his songs on the radio most days of the week. Everyone has such a lot to say about this death. What a lucky man, to be so loved and respected. How lucky we are, those of us who have enjoyed and will enjoy his work.

Here are a couple of photo tributes that caught my eye:

kol hakavod to those who thought up this stunningly brilliant liturgical play on Lecha Dodi

Finally, he's just so charming when Jonathan Ross tries his best to get something juicy out of the interview:

With condolences to family and friends who knew and loved him, may his memory be a blessing.

i just thought you should know ...

[thanks to noam's facebook friend for this important message]

the things you find on the 'net ...

on the myspace page of a qpr fan i found myriad youtube videos of david bowie. in one of them, he was singing a song best known through sonny & cher (or chrissie hynde & ub40 for younger oldies) - 'i got you babe'. under the wimple is marianne faithfull. according to the page whence cometh the pic, the back of her habit had no back, so when she left the stage everyone got a brief view of her bottom. she's a bit before my time, but i loved her as god in abfab :-)
