For an innovator in another genre. RIP Ziggy...

It's been sad couple of weeks.
First Lemmy and now David.
Era coming to a close.

And Natalie Cole too. I'm in, the man dress, Ziggy , androgeny,Thin White Duke, that 80's Let's Dance/China Girl look, Bing Crosby, oh, and a dozen songs that are still on the radio. He may not have courted the intelligencia , but he sure made his mark in entertainment history . Diamond Dogs was one of the first albums that showed me how there was heavier rock music other than the sort played over the airwaves. And how may people here who started as rock guitarists have played the Ziggy Stardust and rebel rebel riffs more than a few times. Hot tramp, I loved you so !

Shed a few tears yesterday listening to Bowie and Annie Lennox singing Under Pressure at Freddie Mercury tribute.

Lango-Django

Not a seventies music guy myself... that's when I stopped listening to rock and started listening to Django, Eddie, Oscar, Bix etc...

but to me, anybody who ever sang a duet with the immortal Mr. Crosby is an Olympic-level musician...

... and "Little Drummer Boy" never sounded any better...

Bones

Sad to hear that news. RIP

Thanks for posting this. This was very hard for me personally. Long before I even knew who Django was, much less ever picked up a Sel-Mac guitar, I became completely enamored with David Bowie. His music shaped my songwriting more than any other single musician. I found and honed my singing skills by singing his tunes.
In many ways, he was like a mentor to me and I'll never forget the hours I spent listening to his music.
