From another Capricorn, and mine is today too! His music lives on even today and no matter how old he gets he's still got the "Fame"!!

9. Is it just me...

...or does he just get HOTTER as he gets older?
Damn.

11. It's not just you. I'm Str8 and he does that for me... nt

12. Rebel, Rebel: Best. Guitar. Riff. Ever. That is all.

Listen, all the lead rock guitarists get all the glory, with their laws-of-physics-defying solos, the Hendrixes playing with their teeth and still sounding amazing...yeah, yeah, yeah. But a good riff makes a song, and I love this one. If you don't believe me, listen for yourself"

The Diamond Dogs period of Bowie still remains my favorite. A life we all aspired to live ("When they pulled you out of the oxygen tent, you asked for the latest party...&quot but fortunately, most of us weren't successful.

13. David Bowie as Nikola Tesla

(shows up about halfway through video.)

14. I'm not a fan of the "classic rock" era,

but I love Bowie. Here he is at the very pinnacle of wonderful rock-star weirdness, singing a song that he can't remember recording due to a drug binge while backed by Klaus Nomi and a plush poodle with a television in its mouth.

19. I dream of being as cool as Bowie.

He deserves any peace he seeks, after the gift he's given us.

We can be heroes, just for one day...
