I was never a fan of Bowie and am surprised so many of my friends in the non-TPR world were fans of Bowie. He's one artist I never recall any of my friends talking about. When you hang out with people for decades you think you know their musical tastes but apparently there were many closet Bowie fans in my circle.

I haven't given Bowie much thought since my college days. He was a very talented man, and I used to listen to two of his albums quite a bit: "Diamond Dogs" and "Young Americans." The former is a dystopian, apocalyptic sci-fi concept, while the latter is a "soul" album.

 

That thing about Bowie is which Bowie are you talking about.

^ So true...you never really knew what you were going to get from one album to the next.

 

I wasn't what I would consider a huge Bowie fan by any means, but I do have a few of his CD's and certainly appreciated him for the artist that he was. If most of today's Billboard/radio music "stars" had half the talent that he did....I might just go back to buying more music and listening to more radio.

I just realised I'm wearing a Bowie shirt in my avatar. I hope his death inspires people to learn more about his creative process and that he is remembered for his thirst for new ways of thinking and questioning the world.

^ Oh noooooooooo.

 

I loved Rickman in a lot of stuff besides Potter and the Diehard films.

 

The Star Trek spoof Galaxy Quest was wonderful with him in it...

So sad to hear....

I don't even know who was more unexpected, him or Bowie.

God, looks like everyone is dying

Rickman was also a coaster fanatic.

In 1991, Rickman told EW:

“I’m like a child with a new toy. I’d like to take what I can from Hollywood, and whatever it is one wants to do in England, and put them together. I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks. My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.

And now Celine Dion's husband Rene, has passed away at age 74.

 

 

Actually, I'm thinking 69 and 74 are the new '27'.

Two days gone sine Rene's passing, and now Celine Dion's brother, Daniel, has succumbed to cancer.

 

It's not fair. For anyone to go through, twice in as short a time as it was.

I've never really understood the saying death comes in 3's...this has obviously not been the case here lately. Where does this saying come from? Oh and dear Angel of Death, you can take a break now.

^ Man...what is going on here?

 

Funny that I just had 'Smuggler's Blues' pop into my head for no unexplained reason why the other day!

 

January 2016 is NOT off to a good start.

Unfortunately most of these singers are getting up there in age, and have mainly lived unhealthy lifestyles while younger. I have a bad feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more this year. It's a shame because I can relate to these musicians unlike what we have today. These are people who actually sang and used instruments instead of computerized effects.

Well, may as well mention the death of Iron Mike Sharpe, "Canada's Greatest Athlete."

 

Here's a video with two dead professional wrestlers: Iron Mike and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
